Historic Motorsport

The Historic racing scene is something Rob Austin Racing has become progressively more involved with over the last few seasons and is becoming a big part of the teams business.

Team principal Rob Austin threw himself and his workforce in at the deep end in 2007 when he agreed to completely restore a customers Triumph TR5 during an already busy season.
This involved the car being stripped to its bare shell and rebuilt with new chassis, all new welded in roll cage, engine rebuild, completely repainted and re-wired. The team met their deadline and did it in fine style, the old Triumph is now more a work of art than a racing car now.

After the TR5 project the team now have quite a portfolio of on going classic projects including a 1951 Chevrolet style-line deluxe road car, a 1978 Chevron Formula 3, a 1976 Surtee's Formula 1 car, a 1982 Formula 1 car, a fleet of 3 Ford Capri Touring cars of various eras and Groups.

Rob Austin has also competed as a driver in many historic events as a hired gun. Customers use his vast experience to help get them to the front of the grid in 2 driver races and up the value of their cars by adding race and championship wins to the cars history while at the same time learning how they can drive their car better and faster with constant support and advice from Rob.
