From varing walks of life, all drivers predominantly met while racing in the 2011 Caterham Academy series, an entry level competition for novice drivers. Although some went their own way afterwards, all have stayed in touch and stayed friends. Some of the guys went on to compete in the Caterham RoadSport, TrackSport and SuperSport series, together with the FunCup and CSCC Magnificent Sevens. The accolade of Bastards came from a 2014 fortnight trip to Houston and Phoenix via Las Vegas to watch a little NASCAR. Jovial antics materialised, where provocative social media stories, photos and posts were responded with one word, “Bastards”. The name stuck as a term of endearment used between us good friends and peers. And for sure, they are inglorious!
