The driver is not quite so interesting, a 52 year old company director who usually shares RPU with his 23 year old son Robert. All was going well until Robert started to go faster than his father in only his second year of racing. The rest of the family: Wife Claire, sons Jack 21, George 9 and new baby daughter Grace 3 years tend to leave the racing and subsequent analysis to the 2 oldest men.
Philip has raced for 12 years with 2 previous years spent on sprints and hillclimbs. Robert is preparing to race a Radical, Philip his Shelby Mustang so RPU is now for sale, POA
