Father and son racing team shift into high gear - The Redditch Standard

Father and son racing team shift into high gear

Redditch Editorial 9th Jun, 2022   0

FATHER and son team John and Ben Truslove shifted into high gear on May 28 when they competed in two races in the CTCRC Pre-66 Touring Cars and Group 1 Touring Car Championship.

The pair drove a Ford Lotus Cortina at Outlon Park, with Ben finishing 11th out of 29 in his second ever race after qualifying in tenth.

This is a marked improvement on Ben’s first outing in the classic Ford, which saw him qualify 30th and finish in 20th and third in class in an 11 lap race.

John said it was a very pleasing result for Ben and there would be much more to come from the pair once they fully learned how the car works on race day.




John managed to capture a 12th place finish despite not posting a qualifying time.

The car was sponsored by John Truslove Chartered Surveyors and Valuers, the Redditch commercial property agency started by John which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.


JS Motorsport rebuilt the classic car, ensuring it was in prime racing condition.
