A Gould changes hands & much more!
Nick Algar, who is currently lying in third place overall in the SBD Motorsport British Sprint Championship, has just completed the purchase of the ex-Fleetwood/Dawson Gould-NME GR55. Algar plans to debut the Gould in the next round of the Sprint championship at Colerne on August Bank Holiday Monday. He will be following this up with outings at Anglesey and Aintree before reverting to his successful 1600 DJ Firehawk for the final round of the Sprint Championship at Cadwell Park in September. The Gould isn’t the only recent purchase made by Algar; he recently bought the PlaysKool concern that specialised in Westfield racing parts and has just re-launched it as PlaysKool Motorsport Ltd. This new company has been integrated with the retained kit car portion of Algar’s old company, ESP Plastics, which he sold earlier this year. The new company will specialise in the production and sale of Westfield fibreglass and carbon-fibre parts as well as other items such as Anti-roll Bar kits. They will also provide a track preparation service for Westfield owners which will operate out of a 1,000 sq ft unit in the North East. There is already a Rolling Road and flat-floor set-up area ready for the first customers. PlaysKool already do approximately 34% of their current business on-line and Algar is keen to expand this side of the business. Finally as part of the new company’s strategy PlaysKool Motorsport Ltd will be sponsoring the Modified Production Category within the SBD Motorsport British Sprint Championship. Algar said that “after selling ESP Plastics my family expected that I would have plenty of time on my hands but I couldn’t resist getting involved with the sport.”
