Welcome to EMAX Motor Sport - British Formula Ford Racing

 Glen Finn gets back in the driving seat at Castle Combe!

Welcome to EMAX Motor Sport Ltd - a well established Formula Ford Racing business with a great new website!  

Glen Finn has been competing in various different genres of Motorsport for approx 20 yrs. 

I started off rallying in the 90's using a works replica Hillman imp.

Swapping seats, I then navigated in various MK2 Escorts. (And still regularly compete with Martyn in his MK2).

After a short gap I returned to competing but this time on the Hill climbs of the South west and also various sprints in Vauxhall Novas and a kit car  during this time I purchased a Citroen ZX which I campaigned for 2 yrs in the Castle Combe saloon car championship. Quickly I realised that to be competitive in this championship would require alot of capital and the Citroen made way for my first foray into single seater racing.

Martyn Sweet my long life long friend had worked for the Swift marque when it was based in Plymouth and between us we decided a Swift would be the most cost effective way to keep racing. After sourcing a 93 Swift together I raced for a year before acquiring my own 92 Swift.

Campaigning this car for 3-4 yrs I achieved many top 10 results in the Castle Combe FF championship and also a number of 4th places. In addition to the Combe championship we regularly raced in the big end of season races at Silverstone and Brands Hatch.  My  budget was minimal and to enable further racing I purchased my second 92 Swift to rent out to cover my racing costs.  In 2009 I purchased the very successful 2004 Van Diemen from well know racer Robbie Barrable.

More drivers enquired about potential car hire as we produce well turned out cars and after a number of years running 2 cars in 2010  a Radical Prosport  was purchased to add to the existing race cars. Since then another 92 has been bought and rebuilt to our high EMAX standards, replacing many parts to insure reliability.  Currently we have 3 x 92 Swift Formula Fords, 1 x Van Diemen 89 and a Radical SR4.

My role has changed from driver to team principle which enables me to pass on valuable experience to both novice and experienced drivers.(I do still venture out onto the circuits when time permits). I am able to communicate successfully to enable drivers to both get the best from the cars in a relaxed atmosphere whilst organising the team to deliver safe reliable cars. At EMAX we are keen to promote a friendly relaxed environment to drivers, family and sponsors as we are aware most people go racing for enjoyment and the day does not start and finish when your strapped in!
