INSIDE
TRACKwith Anton Spires
A
little under five years ago
John Creasey company
owner of PaintPerfect
decided to pursue a life long
dream of running a race team
and becoming a race driver. After
buying a Peugeot 106 gti from
ebay as an unfinished project
with the help of Mark Waby now
PP Motorsport’s head engineer
the car was transformed into
very credible track car and the
story began. The small two man
team quickly grew into a very
professional outfit and in the
space of just 18 months the
decision was made to progress
into competitive Motorsport in
the Michelin Clio Cup which
was a race series designed as
a stepping stone into the British
Touring Car Championship.
The profile of sponsors grew
at a fast rate as did the team
within this tough championship
and John took the novice
championship title in his first year.
Over the winter of 2014/15 we
began talks with Anton Spires
and before long he had be
enlisted to join the team along
with Keith Freeman, Anton’s
granddad to initially coach John
in his second year of racing but
also to later become the teams
second driver. By the end of
the 2015 season the team had
grown from two men with a
van and trailer to a fully fledged
professional outfit with two cars
and drivers all fully supported
through an extensive range of
sponsorship packages.
After some time to reflect over
the early part of the 2015 winter
break on what the team had
achieved in such a short space of
time the decision was made to
make the step up into the UK Clio
Cup with John running the team
and Anton as the teams driver.
This year so far....
