Another string to the Walkinshaw bow

Former Arrows F1 boss Tom Walkinshaw has announced the establishment of a new motorsport related business to be called the HSV Performance Centre. This will be located in Milton Keynes and will provide tuning services for the Vauxhall Monaro, Holden and HSV models and other General Motors V8-engined cars in the UK.

HSV has been a big success in Australia where HSV-built V8 Supercars under the Holden Racing Team and HSV Dealer Team banners have been very successful.

"To be able to bring our products and technical expertise to the UK market, in support of Vauxhall's Monaro sales programme and the rest of the V8 GM range, is a terrific development for 2006," said Walkinshaw.
