I’ve worked for a lot of race teams who run old trucks, but very low mileage, maybe less than 10,000pa if on a UK race series; the PMI’s are normally 12 weekly intervals.However the other thing I’ve learned is that trucks don’t do well standing around not being used. It seems common to hear of people whose race trucks breakdown on the first trip of the year after being stood doing very little for most of the winter.
Also for the cost of buying and maintaining a 2nd truck just in case of breakdowns, wouldn’t it be cheaper to spot hire to cover those events?
What I’ve done on a couple of race teams if they run more than 1 truck, is keep one unit all year to cover occasional transport through the winter and then hire in the extra trucks for the race season or for occasional weeks as needed.
Beechdean AMR use Dawsons units now and Prodrive’s newer vehicles are all Asset Alliance. I think Prodrive only have the two first shape Premiums left as owned units now.
