A small group of drivers will be sharing duties. Team members will be announced in the coming weeks. The team

The "other" Darren Turner Have to throw in some info on the "Other" Darren Turner, because there's an odd coincidence or two in each of their histories. "Other" Darren is on the web too, with quite a nice website at www.darrenturner.net. He also owns the domain name darrenturner.com, which is why the Canadian Darren Turner had to use the (very Canadian) darrenturner.ca domain name for this site. A lap at Paul Ricard in the DBR9.

Races, racetracks, displays and shows... this section is under construction. Sunvalley Speedway just outside Vernon, BC. One of my favourite tracks, it's also conveniently close to home. Planning and construction was started by Gary Hammond, who unforunately was unable to take it to completion. Part of the inspiration for this first class facility came from a trip to the Wenatchee Valley Super Oval in WA. with the Turner Racing team in the late 90's. That

Darren Turner's Media Galleries The Darren Turner archives are in the process of being scanned, edited, uploaded, etc. Darren has always been a "car guy", and this Triumph TR6 is one of many different cars he's owned through the years. Darren and wife Margo Turner enjoying a summer drive in their Triumph TR6 convertible. Darren also raced selected events in the Legends Cars series too - racing at Agassiz, Penticton and Calgary.

Darren Turner's Formula Ford Archive Despite the different appearing bodies, Darren's chassis is the same (modified) Bowin P6 in all the photos below. Coming over the rise Darren (on the right) closes in on the #54. This shot was taken at the final weekend of racing at Westwood Motorsport Park. The racetrack on the mountainside was closed down and is now a residential subdivision. It would be a few years before the racing track at

The chronicles of Darren Turner in car club ice racing. Nothing high-tech here, it's all about being super-smooth and totally in-tune with your car, so you can drive it at the limit of it's traction. There's a very, Very fine line between being the quickest car on the track, or the first car stuck in a snow-bank at the side of the race track. A Fiat, the first car Darren bought specifically to race with.

Darren Turner's transition from open wheel formula cars to stock cars began at a little bull-ring of a race track called Penticton Speedway in a street-stock class Chev Beaumont (that's a Canada only variation of the well known Chevelle). Garth Turner looking underneath the shiny, freshly painted Chev street stock race car. It would not look this spotless for long. The Chevelle/Beaumont street stock race car came to an unfortunate, untimely end. It was T-boned

The Late Model Race Cars Gallery After succesful collaberation with Roy Cobden in the running of a sportsman class car at Penticton Speedway, the desire to "move up" to faster, and more competitive racing led to the building of a late model to compete in the Budweiser All Star touring series that was popular in the Pacific NW at the time. Decisions were made, plans drawn up, and the genesis of the next racecar took

The Turner Racing 2001 Season The 2001 McColl chassis and Chevrolet Monte Carlo body as it rolled off the truck from Ontario. HUGE effort still required to get to a "race ready" state. The chassis was completed just enough that wheels & tires could be bolted on. Rear quarter view. The work to go from this to a race-ready car is huge. Trimming and sanding the rough edges of the fiberglass bodywork. This is what
