		David Whitmore
		During my 7 years in the motorsport world, I have come into contact with several different teams regarding running my car. The biggest problem I have found is that teams have promised me a front-running car only to deliver a Tesco trolley with a wobbly wheel. So what a refreshing change it was when I met Mike Gorton and his team at MGA Motorsport. Throughout my time with them, they have delivered on every promise, hit all targets and the prices I've been quoted are always the prices I've paid. As we all know, service like this is very uncommon and to find a team that does exactly what it says on the tin, is peace of mind for any driver. David Whitmore 2015 BMW Compact Cup

		MGA Motorsport are a friendly Team that I have been involved with for the past 7 years. They have prepared cars for me for one-make championships and later endurance championships throughout the UK and Europe to include the Britcar 24 hour race. The presentation and knowledge takes a lot to beat and nothing is too much trouble. The Team understands the pressure that sponsors place upon you and they work together with you to help fulfil the sponsors requirements. In 2007 I won Class 2 of the Britcar Championship and finished 2nd overall in the Championship partnered by Mark Clynes. This was due to the help of MGA and I would not have achieved such good results without their tremendous support throughout the season. Nick Beaumont Former British Touring Car Driver

		I joined MGA Motorsport on recommendation from a friend in 2001 for my third year in the BRSCC Ford Si Championship. My first impressions were excellent. The knowledge Mike had of racing Fiestas and the professionalism of the whole Team was immediately apparent. Mike and the Team prepared a fantastic car for 2001. I also benefited from Mike’s wealth of experience as a driver where he helped me gain masses of time through some tuition at track days before the start of the season. From the first meeting at Brands Hatch we knew we were competitive and had a shot at the Championship. 16 races later we had won the Championship with 13 podiums, 3 of which were wins. I was over the moon with our achievements and proved just what was possible when you were run by a good team. The car was always prepared to an excellent standard, the set up MGA provided in the paddock was second to none and made going racing very enjoyable. I learnt more in that one season than any other in motor racing thanks to Mike and the Team at MGA Motorsport. Ian Flynn

		As a sponsor (Bilsom), the all important appearance of the team in the paddock was excellent. Top class equipment, immaculately presented with the kind of attention to detail that left guests very impressed after a day with the team. As a driver the standard of car preparation was first class and the record of reliability acheived bore witness to this. I started my race career in TOCA Fiestas with MGA and as a novice I found them very helpful and supportive. Later in Britcar and Britsports I enjoyed several successful outings with the team and particularly enjoyed the general atmosphere created within the team by Mike and the great bunch of guys working with him.

		I have dealt with MGA Motorsport both as a sponsor and as a driver. Mike and the Mechanics I guess you thought they were a band but Mike Gorton has led this Team successfully for longer than I can remember (and as long as they have been around!!). After trying other teams it was great to find MGA Motorsport through a recommendation. Initially in 2004 MGA ran my Vectra SRi in the Super Coupe Cup for 2 years. We then moved into the founding years of Britcar. The Team's professionalism really showed in stepping up to 3, 6 and even 24 hour races where we achieved 3rd in class. After a break I have now returned to the new Ma5da Championship and I asked MGA to build my car from scratch – what a great job they did. I was the envy of all at the first race. The distinctive yellow MGA truck, the vast equipment and the exceptionally knowledgeable mechanics all contribute to an extremely professional racing team who can provide all aspects of support. I can always be guaranteed a superbly prepared car with meticulous preparation giving the reliability you want at a race meeting. Even better it is at a cost that, in my experience, is honest and good value for money when compared to many others. A big advantage of being with MGA is that Mike is a professional race instructor so there is no shortage of advice on tap if you need it. This has shown through on test days and in setting the car up for each track. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of MGA Motorsport to anyone.

		Mike and the MGA team supported my two race cars in EERC's Britcar Endurance racing series, including two 24 hour races at Silverstone. The car was always well-prepped for the race, pit stops were fast and efficient and, most especially, Mike was great at getting the car back out on the track after any problems arose. His total focus is on getting the best result from the car at each and every race. Whilst we drivers would like to believe that we achieved every result single-handedly, I would have to say that in most cases we wouldn't have been on the podium without the efforts of Mike and the MGA Team in getting us there.
