The aptly named 'Flying Bogey' is the website for a novice rally team based in Somerset.
The project began at the beginning of 2005 when Chris Hellings and his brother Tim decided to go after their childhood ambition of becoming rally competitiors.
Since then they have acquired a car (all be it green!), got themselves a license and are entering the 2006 ASMC Sealed Surface Rally Championship.

Yet another event unscathed for the Flying Bogey - that makes 3 out of 3!

Pic: The Bogey Returns from SS2
The car flew through scrutineering without a hitch and it was looking like it was gonna be their first outing in the wet. Tyre choice wouldn't really play a part as they went for the budget option of re-using some intermediate Kumho's they used earlier in the year!
