Detailed entry: Paul Spencer - team owner of Strawberry Racing - has been seen the length of breadth of Europe during the last six or so years, and as such, has become a familiar sight.
More recently the ?Strawberry Racing? logo has becoming equally familiar, as the karts and drivers of the team have shown a remarkable tendency of appearing with increasing regularity at the sharp end of the grid. But who, exactly, is the ?Strawberry Racing? team owner Paul Spencer?
At the recently opened team base on a new industrial estate in Handsworth on the outskirts of Sheffield, Paul Spencer explained his karting roots as follows. "My brother Neil Spencer," he said, "raced karts as long ago as 1977 for a short period of time, although my main interest at the time had been in Motocross. I suppose in karting terms I first started to take a look around 1993/94, before seriously thinking about doing things on a different level, probably from around 1996 onwards."
This interest in karting took Spencer to all the major circuits throughout France, Germany, Italy and Belgium, providing him with a thorough grounding in the sport before he made his move. "Really I was looking at all the classes involved and I started travelling all over Europe. I probably haven?t missed one race in Europe since starting in 1996. Nicola and myself didn?t travel with any team, we just did it all off our own backs to see what it was all about."
