Brett and Hugh have just returned from testing at Albacete on the Team's modified "Frame 17" bike. This was the old Toleman/Cowie "factory" P&M Endurance bike that did so well in World Endurance events in 1978.
Over the winter the bike has been fitted with an updated engine, based on a GPZ 1100 Kawasaki.
All went well at the Albacete test and the Team are excited about it's prospects for Cartagena.
Brett debuted in the Classic Endurance scene with Team Glam in 2011 as a stand in for Bob Collins and he is wholeheartedly welcomed into the Phase One Team in 2012.
For those who do not know Brett, he is most well known in Europe for his 400cc TT win in the early 2000's before he dipped from the scene and moved to Spain to live and work.
He now lives in Valencia.
To follow results, please keep an eye on the Phase One website.
