Following surgery, Anthony Taylor was unable to compete in the first round of the Jaguar Drivers` Club 4 Hills & a Sprint Championship’s opening round at Aintree.
First time ever in a sprint, his younger brother Phil, accepted the entry and drive, in the Aristocat XK and was delighted to come 2nd in the Powered By Jaguar section.
