IAN & STUART HARRISON'S ZERO IS PERFORMING WELL.........


GBS customers Ian and Stuart Harrison are competing in the Auto SOLO Championship and for them the championship has already started of very well. As last weekend Stuart claimed is first FTD of the season in their GBS Zero, beating his nearest rival by 4.9 seconds. While Ian slipped up a little on test one and three, but thanks to a blistering last round he pulled up my placing to finish 4th overall. Stuart took the main award for FTD, while Ian was able to bring home the trophy for 1st in Class. Two trophies from one event was a brilliant finish for them with their GBS Zero. We look forward to seeing both Ian and Stuart  and their Zero at our GBS Open Day and hopefully they will be joining us on the Sunday 2nd June at Blyton Park.
