Anyone know any decent race mechanics based in S Wales?

Hello mate what do you need done,

[The Black Duke]

What do you race?

[taffyracer]

I'm just looking for someone decent relatively local to help me prep the car and to provide support at trackside.......the car is a Caterham CSR 280

Where do you live though mate? I know of a few people in the Ponty/Cardiff areas. They deal with Rally cars usually but I have seen a few other race cars at their workshops.

I'm between just outside of cardiff nr penarth,

You know about Muzz Race in Llandow?

They've not done much for me (I stored a car with them for a while) but they seem like good chaps.

Its not exactly local (Brum) but I do recommend http://www.procomp.co.uk/ .

They will be doing the setup on my new machine:

Andy Stanford at Q-Mech near Bridgend

http://www.qmech.co.uk/

Andy specialises in Lotus annd Caterhams and ran in the Caterham Academy a few years ago. He still has the car.

Nice guy and very reasonable rates. All of the South Wales Lotus owners swear by him.

He prepped an S1 Elise which was running in the Elise Trophy at Castle Combe yesterday and got the fastest lap in both races.

Small update, Andy is now running my car and we just had our 1st weekend at Pembrey, we got 2 2nd places and 1 win, I got driver of the day and 2 fastest laps, QMech were just superb, i've run with a few teams over the years, most know how to charge and under deliver but Andy and his team were by far the best I've come across, incredibly hard working, down to earth and above all extremely competent., can't recommend them enough

Anyone with a Lotus or Caterham should be talking to Qmech www.qmech.co.uk

Glad to hear.

I will have to remind Mr Sanford he owes me a beer for the recommendation!
