42 - John Seery

Class: A

Team:

Aged in his words as ‘old’ but officially 62 John hails from the north west.

Having started in Superkarts and having spent 2 years running in the BARC Northern Saloon Championship John was pressured into the world of the TVR Challenge by his good pal Darren Smitth.

When he isn’t racing he likes life’s simple pleasures such as Curry and Boddingtons.

He ranks the rear wheel coming of at Oulton as his most memorable and going straight on at full throttle through the hairpin at Mallory Park as the one he least wants to remember.

The car is ex Tony Abrams who campaigned it in the series for a couple of years up to the end of 2009 and before that it was originally built for Mike Jordan of touring car fame.

The car is pretty much in original spec including wheels and tyres and runs a fuel injected 4.5 litre AJP V8 engine mated to a T5 Tuscan Challenge box. Weighing around 870 kilos the car produces around 450 bhp.
