Aston Martin AMR1 wins Group C race
The Group C season opening race at Donington 5/6 May saw the Damax run Aston Martin AMR1 of Paul Whight win the Group C race driven by Andy Meyrick. Qualifying was damp and as this was the first time we had run the car we used this period to try different suspension settings and ended up second on the grid. Andy took the race lead at the first corner and was only headed during the pit stop phase of the 1 hr race. We took a hard fought win with Mike Donovan in a Spice finishing 2nd and Rupert Clevely/Bob Berridge in a Lancia 3rd. Damax would like to say a big thank you to Paul Whight, the owner of the car, for trusting us to produce a reliable race winning car.
Group C / Helen & Douglas Charity Dinner
Damax would like to say a big thank you to Graham and Odette for organising this wonderful evening of reminiscence and fundraising on behalf of the Helen & Douglas Hospice. A good evening was had by all and it was nice to see many old faces and raise some money for this worthy charity.
Damax and Group C 2012
Damax are pleased to announce that they will be running an Aston Martin AMR1 and a Lancia LC2 alongside the Spice Group C cars in the prestigious and fast expanding Group C Championship. The iconic Martini liveried Lancia, with 800hp, will be driven by Duncan & Robin in selected events. The Aston Martin AMR1 owned and driven by Paul Whight, will contest races at Donington and Le Mans. We are looking forward to what we hope will be another successful year.

With podium finishes at every race meeting we had a competitive year and would like to congratulate Peter & Andy Meyrick on winning the C2 Championship. Robin would like to thank Duncan for the privilege of driving his cars once again.
