From the workshop to the start line

Marcus Tomlinson campaigns under the MJT Motorsports banner — building, preparing and driving the cars that carry the green Escort and orange Impreza liveries onto UK stages.

The programme is rooted in real workshop time: corrugated walls, strip lights, helmets on the beams, and a car that leaves the garage ready for night asphalt or forest gravel.

  • Driver name on the glass: M. Tomlinson
  • Asphalt programme — lime green Ford Escort, door 79
  • Gravel programme — orange/blue Subaru Impreza, door 52

How the drive started

Like many British club drivers, Marcus’s path runs through local stages, service parks and long nights getting the car right. The MJT Motor Sport identity on the sunstrip and door script marks a team that builds its own presence rather than renting one for a weekend.

Family and crew sit close to the programme — names on the glass and stickers on the wings tell that story as clearly as any press release.

Career highlights

  • East Riding Stages Rally Night asphalt under the Beverley & District start/finish banner — green Escort, light bar lit, queue of cars behind.
  • Malton Forest Rally Forest gravel in the Impreza — door 52, Vertice colours, dust hanging in the trees.
  • Club paddocks across Yorkshire Service areas, trailers and workshop prep that keep both cars stage-ready.

This season

The aim is simple: keep both cars competitive, gather stage miles, and make MJT Motorsports a name fans and partners recognise from the start line to the finish arch.
