Classic Thunder racer Neil Wade experienced a breakthrough during last weekend’s triple-header at Pembrey, feeling he could finally drive his self-built 500bhp Honda turbo-powered Mini Cooper S R50. This moment marked a significant milestone for Wade, a former Royal Air Force engineer who has returned to racing after a five-year hiatus. The heavily-modified Mini represents the culmination of a long process for Wade, showcasing his dedication and engineering skills in the sport.
