RPS Motorsport Monday!
#TeamRPS are delighted to share that our very own Simon Ayris partnered by a long-term friend, colleague, and co-driver, Kim Bannister, netted a commanding win in the first round of this year's Hero Challenge.
The morning started off well for Simon and Kim, with steady progress on the regularities before pushing hard over the four tests before lunch, setting the fastest times in the MGB class. At lunch, the crew found themselves 2nd overall before returning to a rerun of the morning's tests.
Heading back to the tests after lunch and glancing at the results before leaving Simon said, “I waited for the right moment in the car and said to Kim - pressure is on now Mr Bannister, we are 2nd overall!” With a look at each other across the car, a stony silence fell as they turned in to start the tests again!
Simon attacked the tests again at the brilliant MOD Bovington Camp venue, desperate to consolidate their position setting the fastest times in their class again, meaning all they had to do was have a good run on the remaining three regularities.
With a clean run on the last regularities, there was a knowing fist bump between them at the final timing point as they knew they had done enough - this effort elevated the duo to a very well-earned 1st overall.
Simon said - “after all the events we have done side by side I always knew we would do it at some point, but having started the rally totally relaxed and with no expectation whatsoever, I think that helped, as a great friend from the ERA said to me many years ago and stays with me always - some days your ducks are up!”
“It also goes without saying that the great efforts that our friends at Hero Era Rally put into these events make them stand out as a great days sport for everyone, but the biggest thanks has to always go out to the many marshals who make these events actually work!”
#TeamRPS - Team work makes the dream work!

“RPS were with me from the very start, sourcing a car , handling the rebuild to rally spec and providing spares support along the way. They have clearly vast experience with these type of cars which are so suited to the harsh conditions of the Peking to Paris route. I couldn’t have done it without them”
Tim Wilkinson, Peking to Paris Competitor 2010
“RPS prepared for participation in Peking to Paris 2010. Simon and his team were a pleasure to work with ‘Benson’ a vintage Buick, their knowledge of what is required for an endurance rally event proved invaluable. A list of works was agreed upon and the car was ready in good time for shipping to China. The car finished the event with only a handful of small issues that you would expect to encounter on an event like Peking to Paris, I would not hesitate to recommend RPS.”
Jeff Urbina, Flying Scotsman 2016
“We have been long time and repeat customers of RPS and are on our third build with Simon and his team. We sought them out several years ago due to their expertise in building and prepping cars for endurance rallies. We have not been disappointed! RPS is knowledgeable about what works and what doesn’t for these events and they have been invaluable to us in our planning. We have used RPS to both build and prep our cars”
Neil Lawson-May, Peking to Paris Competitor 2016
“The RPS engineers are on all the rallies themselves. When they are building your car they know what it’s going to go through because they’ve done it already.”
