88 - Keith Vaughan Williams

Class: B

Team: Happy Endings Motorsport

Aged 52 he is a Compliance Officer from Kent who started racing in 2007.

Keith has been a TVR enthusiast and road car owner for many years. He saw racing as the natural progression from track days which he really enjoyed. He shared a Class C Tasmin with Tim Davis in the TVR Challenge, he then went on to sole ownership of the same car until 2010 when he bought the Class B Tuscan Challenge race car he is now running.

Keith lists his local circuit Brands Hatch as his favourite. Outside of racing he is an active TVRCC member with a TVR V8S road car and has previously owned a Cerbera and 2 other S series cars.

Like most racers Keith is actively seeking sponsorship but get support from Dan Taylor at TaylorTVR in Aylesford, Kent who has prepped & set up the car.

The car is a factory spec race car.  It had a new chassis and corners in 2001 and the engine was refreshed in 2008 by John Eales at JE Developments.  It is currently being converted back to take two seats.

It has a 5.0 litre Rover V8 dry sump race engine running fuel injected and coupled to a T5 Challenge spec gearbox it produces around 330 bhp with a similar torque level.

The car was formerly owned and raced by Doug Ellwood (in 750 MC series), Tony Abrams & more recently Phil Dickinson in the Dunlop European TVR Challenge.

Keith took class B championship honours in 2010 finishing just behind Dave Chant in the overall championship. He is still regretting not competing in the first event of last season at Cadwell Park
