Jamie McBain
Jamie eats, sleeps and dreams motorsport – in fact, we often catch him day-dreaming about his next bonkers rally car project!
Like most of us, Jamie had always dreamed of competing and began in BTRDA Rallycross in 2019. The rest, as they say, is history.
Jamie has clocked up some big wins in his short rally cross and rally careers, including wining the 2024 classic rallycross championship, but like all of us he’s most proud of the achievements he’s masterminded for our customers.
David Simmons
David is one of the founders of Spark Developments, and along with Jamie has developed the Spark Standard to provide the very best experience for our customers.
They say it’s always the quiet ones, and Dave is living proof. His fabrication and wiring skills make him an asset in the workshop, but it is his calm demeanour on an event which our customers love the most!
If it can be raced, Dave will race it. If it can be fixed, Dave will fix it, and the retirement list is simply not an option when Dave’s on the job.
Konnor Richardson
When you first meet Konnor, it’s 50/50 whether he’ll tell you about his classic Mini project, his vast array of Snap-On tools or his love of Man United first. Often, you’ll get all three at once!
As well as running a garage, Konnor is studying towards a degree in Motorsport Engineering, and somehow finds the time and energy to be one of our most valuable team members on event weekends.
Konnor’s adventure with Spark Developments began as work experience alongside his degree in 2024, and he’s now a fully signed-up advocate of the Spark Standard.
Adam Taylor
Adam’s an all-round motorsport professional, having studied Motorsport Engineering at university and worked in the sport for ten years.
On the road, Adam drives a Peugeot 306 GTI, on the track a 106 rallycross car, and he can often be found tinkering with one of our many French race and rally cars. He frequently tells us he can ‘speak the language’, but we’re pretty sure he means the language of motorsport, as opposed to being fluent in French.
Adam loves nothing more than going into battle with a damaged race or rally car to get our drivers back in the game. Which means you can be very confident you won’t end up on that retirement list when he’s around.
David Martin
David is a motorsport lifer, and what he doesn’t know or hasn’t seen in the sport isn’t worth writing about.
A proven winner on and off the track, Dave’s experience and determination inspires the younger members of the team, and provides confidence for our customers.
Dave’s own motorsport journey began twenty years ago, and he can still be found behind the wheel of a Peugeot 205 GTI rally or rallycross car at any given opportunity!
Jordine Crooks
Jordine tells us she’s been involved with motorsport since being three days old, and we think she probably remembers the day, too!
If you cut Jordine in half, it would say ‘motorsport’, and as a nurse and trainee advanced clinical practitioner she’d probably be able to put herself back together again, too!
Jordine has her Mum and Dad to thank for her love of motorsport, and her passion shines through when she joins us on events.
Awarded 2020 Motorsport UK Volunteer of the Year, Jordine is the coordinator for the BTRDA Clubman’s Rallycross Championship, and sits on various Motorsport UK committees. As well as making Jordine a valuable asset to our team, that also makes her a real-life superhero in our books.
