NO SHORTAGE OF SHORTS

Marcus Short became the third member of his family to race a Rover 216 GTI when he contested the MG Cup races at Brands Hatch last weekend. Short’s father Martin raced in the original one-make series for the model and built the car Marcus is now using, which elder brother Morgan also piloted two years ago. Despite his only previous racing experience being in the Citroen C1 24 Hours at Silverstone last year, 17-year-old Short Jr finished third, and second in class.
