15 Nov 2011

ASM Race Team have had a fantastic 2011 season! After making the commitment to compete in the Project 8 Racing Saloons Series, ASM Race Team decided to take part in the full season in both the UK and European rounds.

The team chose to run an e36 BMW M3, against a number of other proven M3s and race winning Cosworths! From the first race, where the team won the first ever race on the new Snettertonn 300 circuit, to the last race at Brands Hatch, ASM Race Team contiued to take race wins.

The team managed to stay competitive throughout the season, totalling 15 race wins and 2 seconds places from 17 races! The team also claimed numerous pole postions, fastest laps and lap records. With the great results continuing through the season, ASM enabled Adam Sharpe to take the series titles in convincing style.

The team also took part in a gruelling 24 hour race at Silverstone, members of the ASM Race Team joined with the regular Strata 21 team to put in a massive effort to enable the car to finish the 24 hours. The team battled through a number setbacks, including two engine changes, mapping issues, suspension failures and fueling problems! With shear determination, the entire team pushed for entire week to finished the race.

For some end of season fun, ASM took their regular e36 M3 to Silverstone to take part in the historic Birkett 6 hour. Adam soon showed that the M3 was quick around the historic Silverstone GP circuit - leading the saloon cars for his first stint. The team ended up fifth overall and second in class.
