Redditch-based motorsport team, DAM Racing showed new-found pace at Silverstone this weekend (4th September) after completing considerable development work on their Porsche 944 race car. The team is a joint venture between motorsport-specialist graphic design agency DAM Creative, and their long-time client, Pro-9, an independent Porsche Specialist, both companies based on the Weights Lane Business Park in Redditch.

DAM Creative's Studio Manager, David Stokes (Feckenham) is sharing the driving with Pro-9's Brett Evans (Winyates) in the Classic Sports Car Club's Future Classics series. The series features two-driver, 40-minute endurance races for sports cars from the 70s and 80s. The broad mix of cars and budgets meant that the team had struggled for pace earlier in the year, but Pro-9 have answered this with a flurry of development work including a new engine and gearbox combination.
