Team Microlink is looking forward to the 2013 season they are taking a step back but still attending plenty of races in preperation for the World Championship in Cornwall this October.

Sean Fisher aka ‘The Bull’ has been competing in the ThunderCat series in the UK since 2004. He says that over the years, he has experienced some tough competition but expects 2012 to be one of the most challenging.

‘Dobby’ (co-pilot) joined the ThunderCat series with a bang in 2008 winning the first race that he and Bull competed in. Dobby’s reputation has grown over the years and plays a vital part in the team’s success.

Dave Harwood supports the team as the manager and a first class propeller engineer. Dave is always looking to increase performance and never settles for the average result.
