Tom is a bit of a waster...Turning the wrong side of t30 hit him pretty hard, and what with having no money, no love life, no decent job prospects to speak of, and with debt coming out of his ears, well, the future wasn’t exactly looking too rosy. Tom knew he wanted more out of life and now was the right time to make a fresh start, but, in typical fashion, he didn't have a plan or even the faintest idea of where to begin. So, logically, he'd start by quitting his current job and see what turned up in the process!

But, despite this, they’ve once again secured the trusty services of Dave and Monty - the two most out of shape, yet passionate and dedicated, racers in the paddock - and they’re optimistically eyeing a top 10 finish.
