A MOTOR accessories firm is moving up a gear with plans to launch a three-car rally team.
"The plans are fairly well in their infancy, as is the firm, but the rally cross starts in March,'' said Phil Herring, team manager with Triple Six, of Middlesbrough.
He said: "We plan to have different celebrity drivers.''
The firm has moved into the fast lane, with the display in its Cannon Park showrooom, for the next couple of weeks, of a GT3 Porsche.
The company is planning to have a different racing car on display in its showroom window each month.
The three businessmen behind Triple Six are actively involved in rallying.
Shareholder Alan Pearson drives a Ford Cosworth, Phil Herring drives a Mini Clubman and colleague Phil Veitch is a rally car navigator.
