Arthur Thurtle / Boysie Thurtle / Roger Bennington

Chevrolet Camaro  N0.74

Former UBS Aston Martin Champion, Arthur Thurtle drives his mighty Camaro for this year's racing. He may give a drive to his son Boysie but one thing is for certain, neither are famed for holding back so it won't be slow! this should be one to watch, right at the front of the grid and a real crowd pleaser.

Roger Bennington

Roger originally started his motorsport career in the 70's doing Autocross and stage rallies. It wasn't long before he was enjoying success and concentrating on special stage rallies. He then acquired a works TR7 V8 and enjoyed many accomplishments throughout the UK.
 
After concentrating on tarmac events the TR7 was used at one or two race meetings and Roger got good results. This was later changed for an Aston Martin V8 and throughout the early 80's it was a force to be reckoned with.
For many years Roger was a regular competitor on the Willxhire 24 hour race driving BMWs, Capris and Cosworth Sierras, often teaming up with Gerry Marshall.
Also some European long distance racing was tackled.
After a brief retirement, Roger got back involved with the AMOC and put together what is now known as the Aston Martin Championship and campaigned a DB4 GT with Paul Whight, often doing the Spa 6hr. A DB4 GT Zagato was built which was also campaigned for a brief period.
