Yep, I’m afraid after 17 years of racing the time has come for me to retire from competitive motorsport. Now this doesn’t mean Thorney Motorsport will no longer be motorsport, far from it, motorsport is in our DNA and is part and parcel of everything we develop and...
Well if ever there was a weekend of highs and lows this was it. Having never raced the Silverstone National circuit before we used the test day for Callum to find his way round and get an idea of the track, personally I love the National as its about braking and...
By Thorney Motorsport – Thu, 01 Jan 2009 05:00 In 2008, Thorney Motorsport’s Astra VXR registered fastest laps at all race events, 5 overall race wins, and placed 3rd in the overall championship. TMS has been fortunate enough to build an excellent...
By Thorney Motorsport – Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:20 With newly branded trucks, cars and team clothing we’vedecided to change our own brand at the same time, we’ve had the thorns as partof the logo since we started over ten years ago so our new ‘devil’ logo heraldsour...
By John Thorne – Tue, 11 May 2010 08:30 Well, the 2010 race season is now fully upon us and frankly it landed on us like a ton of bricks. We did have the first Sportmaxx race a few weeks ago but with only Alex out in one Astra (where he got a 4th, 5th and...
By John Thorne – Tue, 09 Jun 2009 08:30 Well, they say motor racing is a series of ups and downs; they’re not wrong! The first SportMaxx rounds at Rockingham back in April were pretty unpleasant for the whole team. A variety of contributing...
Running a race team ofthis size in multiple championships is certainly interesting. This weekend wehad almost every aspect of racing land on our doorstep, inter team car on carcontact, a big crash, race wins and podiums, a TV crew in tow, mechanicalfailure and another...
By John Thorne – Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:30 Well, the first race of the 2009 season is here and there’s somany changes it’s hard to keep up. Leyton has moved from class B to the Astrain Class A, so carries his number 1 plate to the top class. We have a newdriver,...
By John Thorne – Mon, 20 Jul 2009 21:19 Weather was always going to be a feature at this race, the forecast was pretty miserable but very changeable – just about the worst kind of weather for racing, but we had no idea just how important it would be until later...
By John Thorne – Mon, 24 Aug 2009 08:00 ]]> Dunlop SportMaxx Race Report First off, remember in the last report I mentioned that wehad our Astra and Corsa sealed by the BARC for investigation of illegal LSD’s? Wellas expected BARC inspected the cars and...
By John Thorne – Mon, 28 Sep 2009 08:00 Final round to what feels like the end of a long season. Abbie had already secured Class B some time ago and there was still the outside chance of taking the overall championship if Simon Shaw in the SEAT had a bit of bad...
By John Thorne – Tue, 13 May 2008 10:17 Another mixed fortune week end for us as a team, fantasticperformance from Simon in the Astra, a frustrating time for Leyton in the Corsaand a luckless time for myself in the M3. Weekend started reasonably badly,technical...
By Thorney Motorsport – Thu, 01 May 2008 10:38 First rounds of the new season are always eye openers butthis was an interesting one to say the least. We arrived at circuit onWednesday for three days of testing, Leyton had got some time in the Corsa atThruxton...
By John Thorne – Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:51 Well, sometimes racing doesn’t get much better than that! Thewhole team had worked so hard on these cars that we really felt deserved a goodresult. After Simon’s first win the Astra VXR at Pembrey we wanted both for himto...
By John Thorne – Mon, 21 Jul 2008 08:00 Well like most things in life success in motorsport needs a combination of planning, skill and luck and we came up a little short on the luck part this weekend. Castle Combe is always a popular circuit for competitors and...
By John Thorne – Mon, 04 Aug 2008 08:30 I can’t help feeling that the Dunlop SportMaxx came of age this weekend. Grids are getting bigger, the variety of cars is getting wider, the comments from the teams and drivers are getting more and more positive, the...
By Thorney Motorsport – Mon, 10 Dec 2007 11:50 Its a funny thing fate, one minute you’re just going about your business and the next you’re helping the UK’s most popular motoring TV program in their largest feature they’d ever done. I...

Britcar 24hr 2011, you really couldn’t make this up… Usually after the 24hr (this was our 4th) I writeout a race report that tells our story and hopefully a positive outcome,however this year whilst the result was excellent for us the journey is thestory. We...
Words fail me. It’s not often I say that. I am proud to have a set of the most talented, supportive and dedicated teams, partners and sponsors around us to achieve what we did this weekend. Whilst the 24hr race is a singular event for most;...
