It was during this time that Greg realized he wanted to fulfill his long term dream of participating in the Lisbon-Dakar. Whilst planning to modify his Land Rover, he was told (rightly so) that he would need more specialist machinery. After searching he bought a Bowler Wildcat and along with his Co-Driver Ollie Ford set about gaining his Competion License, on their first race in Lockerbie, they realized that it was too hard to race and support the Bowler, so for their next race an agreement was made with Maxtraction and they carried on supporting the Bowler until it was sold. In early 2008 Greg and Maxtraction’s John Cockburn went to Lisbon to participate in the Dakar, unfortunately after all of the preparation and hard work the Rally was cancelled. This did however give Greg the opportunity to buy a Bowler Nemesis that was built to participate in the Dakar. The Wildcat was sold, and this left Greg without a suitable car for the British championship, he came to an agreement with Maxtraction for an “arrive and drive” in a specially built Tomcat.

Bob Seaman and John Jennings competed in the BCCC for the first time in 2008 having spent the previous five years competing together as a team in extreme winch challenge events with many successes in the major competitions.

Bob and John have ventured into the Malaysian rain forest crossing some of the most extreme territory in the world and enjoyed the survival challenges that go with it. Their interest in racing stemmed from competing in the first Desert Storm Challenge in Morocco and racing across the Sahara, in the now much modified 90, gave them the bug for speed leading to their entry into the BCCC.

Team Lagombie Racing as Bob and John like to call themselves, currently run a Milner R4. Bob, surprisingly for a Director of a financial institute in the City, trained as a mechanical engineer and maintains the vehicle himself as he considers this part of the fun. The well equipped industrial unit is set in deepest rural Hampshire not far from home.

Their hopes for 2009 are largely to survive and keep the car on its wheels but certainly include enjoying the experience and camaraderie associated with the Maxtraction organisation and its other client who have become good friends.
