Newsletter Happy 70th Birthday to Trevor Haythorne FAI would like to wish a very happy 70th birthday to Trevor Haythorne, who has served the company for 30+ years. Trevor has played a pivotal role in the expansion and success of the engine reconditioner sales side of the business and along with his hands-on approach, Trev’s excellent sense of humour and people skills have been key in building a loyal customer base. To celebrate his birthday, 150 of Trev’s closest friends, family and colleagues descended on a venue in Shipley near Bradford to spring a surprise party for the FAI legend. The attendees included Sean Walker (MD) and Ted Cooper (Facilities Director) pictured above by Trevor’s side. Organised by Trevor’s wife Joan, the night was a huge success and a great time was had by all. Due to Trevor’s work ethic and dedication to FAI, he will continue to serve the company, hopefully for many more years to come.

Newsletter BTCC 2016 Season Finale Brands Hatch 2nd October After several top spots and strong overall ranking throughout the 2016 season, the final round hosted at Brands Hatch was an opportunity for Adam to go all out and push for best final ranking possible; especially after a race win at the same venue earlier in the year. After qualifying 8th, Adam immediately started putting pressure on the lead drivers in Race 1 and managed to bypass Jack Goff and Hunter Abbott to grab the 6th spot early on. Sandwiched between the two Halfords Honda Civics and with Turkington gaining a considerable lead over the rest of the pack, Adam held his ground throughout the race to finish in 6th. Race 2 then resulted in 8th spot for Adam with the Subaru Levorgs dominating the track. The 3rd and final race of the season was one of the most exciting for the WIX Racing / FAI team with Adam locked in an intense fight for 3rd position with Gordon Shedden’s Honda in the final few laps of the race. With Sheddens success ballast from the previous race appearing to hold him back, Adam looked comfortable in taking the 3rd spot. Just as Adam was side by side and about to move in to 3rd, the safety car was called out and all chances of obtaining 3rd position had disappeared. Adam finished Race 3 in 4th position.
