PMMDA Activity Days

Once again PMMDA’s karting event was a success with healthy competition from our members, making it an adrenalin fuelled afternoon of fun as always.

The sun usually shines on our annual Karting Day and it was no different this year.. sweaty drivers in those race suits! Well done to the Flegg boys who took first and third place and to the ‘Phat Boys’ team from Sumitomo Demag who came second, and also took the ‘fastest lap’ title. As always we had a great day and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. A big thank you to everyone who took part… roll on next year!

Annual Karting Day

What an amazing day… The sun shone once again for our annual Karting day and all participants were raring to go from the start, with twin-engine pro-karts and 960m of track the race was never going to be boring and from the start we saw some very competitive racing and a fair bit of over and understeering especially from the not-so experienced drivers.

The hour long race saw many teams at the top of the leader board but in the end the best drivers won…

This years awards go to:

First Place: Dave Bowden & Steve Pollitt of Patterson & Rothwell

Second Place: Jayson Flegg & Mark Marshall of Flegg Projects

Third Place: Ashlee Gough & Nick Stockton of Sumitomo Demag

Congratulations lads and well done to everyone who took part, hope you enjoyed the day!

A Very Interesting Tour of JCB

Our activity day at JCB was very popular, from walking through the history of JCB to current times there were some very interesting facts behind the company, it’s origins and the scope of products manufactured.

We never knew that JCB currently holds 3 world speed records! The world’s fastest diesel-powered car (2006 – 350 mph), the world’s fastest Backhoe Loader (2014 – 72 mph) and the world’s fastest Tractor (2019 – 135 mph). The record-breaking tractor was driven by Guy Martin and filmed as part of a feature programme on Channel 4.

Williams F1 Activity Day

Everyone had a fantastic time at our activity day at Williams F1, competition between the attendees was fierce as you would expect and not everyone was a winner but the day was good fun and everyone enjoyed it.
