[1] With a workforce of 74 employees,[2] Janspeed works closely with many luxury and performance car makers including Aston Martin, Lotus and Bentley.
[3] Initially specialising in exhausts and performance parts for the BMC Mini, Janspeed soon expanded to providing turbocharging units and other equipment designed to fit Vauxhall and Ford vehicles.
In previous years, Janspeed catered to bespoke orders and designs and supplied individual exhaust parts such as downpipes and manifolds.
[6] The BTCC had just undergone a major rule change making the series open only to cars of 2.0 engine displacement in an attempt to eliminate homologation specials and attract manufacturer support, better known as the Super Touring regulations.
Kieth took a brace of podium places before a breakthrough maiden win at the British Grand Prix support round at Silverstone with Percy second.
The other manufacturers were starting to invest millions of pounds into the series, and although the team was now sponsored by Old Spice and employed Eric van der Poele, the cars were off the pace.
Janspeed moved to the STW Cup for the 1995 season, with their 1994 driver line up of Kieth and van der Poele, running under the BMS Scuderia Italia banner.
