Former MG Owners Club champion Nick Evans is making the switch to Legends Cars in 2005.

Evans, 43 from Hemel Hempstead, has been eyeing up the competition for some time and it was a Legends test drive last September that finally saw him decide to make the move.  “The car was awesome to drive,” says Nick.  “I knew after just a couple of corners that I wanted to race one.  There’s so much that’s ‘right’ about the Legends formula – balloted grids mean I’m going to have to do some overtaking and everyone that’s seen the car thinks it’s superb.”

Evans started racing in Gearbox karts over a decade ago but took a sabbatical to set up his own business.  He then joined the BARC MG Owners Club Championship racing a Maestro.  He won the newcomers trophy in 1996 and was outright Champion in 2001.  Nick also won the class championship in 2002, his first season racing an MG F.

Legends boss Phil Cooper is thrilled that Evans will be joining the championship stating “This is good for our National Championship.  Here’s another champion driver who has been impressed with both our cars and the racing.  He’s also got the courage to put his winning reputation on the line and mix it with other successful drivers.”
