++++ Tragic News ++++

It is with the heaviest of hearts we make the announcement of Craig Raine's passing.

Many of you will now already know of this tragic loss, however it feels only right to make a statement from the Mark 1 Team.

Craig arrived with a camera in hand 4+ years ago. Walking into the garage out of nowhere, his ability to find just the right angle and a smile that filled the garage with joy.

From this random arrival and his infectious love of cars, he became a massive part of the team and a great close friend. His passion and attention to detail promoted a strong belief from all of us, to see him succeed in whatever he put his mind to.

Over the years through many changes and challenges, you brought an energy to the team that couldn't be matched. Your way to find the funny, roast us like a Sunday dinner, bombard us with random facts, then turn and be a piller of support for all of us when things got tough, can never be matched.

Craig you were a vital part of our growth, you leave a massive hole in our lives, our team and family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family and friends.

You'll find in the comments below one of our favourite videos, from the late night tinkering in the old garage.

Goodnight our friend 🙏 ❤️
