Team history:
Founded in 2003, the team won the Lotus Roadsport Series in its first year with a highly developed Lotus Sport Elise.
Team highlights:
A year later Cadena won the 2004 British GT Cup Class Dunlop Superpole Award at their first attempt and claimed 3 race wins, 4 podiums and majority fastest race laps.
In 2004 the team thoroughly reworked a Lotus Motorsport Elise, making it the most advanced example of its type in the world. In 2005, the team raced a Mosler MT900R and, amongst other results, won the Inaugural Tag Heuer GT250 race at the launch of the world wide A1GP Series. Other results included a win in a one off return to the Lotus Roadsport Series, in a Lotus built by the team. 2006 heralded a return to Lotus, with the team winning the British GT Championship, with a dominant display against such marques as Ferrari and Porsche. 2007 was a learning year for the team, taking delivery of a brand new Aston Martin DBRS9. Highlights include a front row qualifying spot at Thruxton.
Plans for 2008:
In 2008 the team will run its DBRS9 in the full British GT Championship season, but this time it will be power by bio-ethanol fuel. Drivers will be Gavan Kershaw and Barrie Whight. The team will also contest Group C races with Paul Whight taking to the track in AMR1 chassis no.5, thought to be the most important AMR1 chassis ever built.
