Since then a string of drivers has followed on with similar success with the most recent Australian champions being John Martin in 2006, Paul Laskazeski in 2008, and Chaz Mostert in 2010.
2006 also brought the first Spectrum chassis over to the UK with John Martin winning in the car in in his first ever UK race at Brands Hatch.
2006 was also to be the beginnings of MBR becoming involved with the Australian Marque, Alan Docking Racing did some testing with the cars in 2006. But in 2007 the BRD cars were acquired by different teams and competed in the Castle Combe championship run by Wiltshire Motorsport college, and in 2007 Kevin Mills Racing also converted to the Spectrum chassis to then compete in the 2008 FF Duratec Championship.
Both teams have had several successes since and both have gained many podiums, pole positions and wins to their name.
