19 - Wayne Godwin

Class: C

Team: Dean Godwin Racing

Wayne is 50 and from Saddleworth. He works in Worldwide Sales for Microchip Company

This year will his first year of racing he has owned TVRs for the past 6 years; he started with a Chimera 4.0 and then bought a Tuscan 2S which he has used on trackdays. After the trackdays he got the taste for more so after discussions with TrackVroad, where he has the road serviced, encouraged him to look at the DTEC series in a Tasmin.

 

He describes himself as a complete novice; round 3 of the series at Brands Hatch in June will be his first ever race. He rates Oulton Park and Cadwell Park as his favourites at the moment being the only 2 circuits he has driven at trackdays.

 

When not in a TVR he relaxes with Astronomy, Rugby Union and his family.

 

His is supported by TrackVroad who will be looking after the car for him and for the start of the season it will be much the same as it was when it was competed by Dave Stewart and Peter Hunter, the only change being the addition of a T5 gearbox ands some new graphics.

 

The Tasmin runs a fuel injected Ford Cosworth V6 2.9 (BOA) producing around 220 bhp to its 1050kg.

 

Although Wayne is new the car is a regular in the series. It was built as a race car for the Tasmin series and has been run in the past by Sam Head, Tim Davis, Dave Stewart and Peter Hunter and the car has won series twice!
