Afiléon Motorsport is the group's motorsport venture: a Kent-based grassroots race team that turns hard-won paddock experience into practical help for other drivers. Trackside support, inspections, supported BMW E46 hire, transport and recovery, run from Gravesend, close to Brands Hatch.

Gravesend, Kent • Brands Hatch & Lydden Hill • Six service lines

Why it is one of our ventures

Built the Afiléon way.

Afiléon is a family name before it is a company name. Every venture under it is expected to meet the same standard, whatever the market.

01 / RESPONSIBILITY

Accountable by design

Safety, preparation and clear written terms come before anything else. Services run on published terms, documented measurements and a team that stays with the vehicle throughout.

02 / SPECIALISM

Credible because we race

A motorsport business should be judged on its work in its own field. Afiléon Motorsport earns its place by racing itself, so every service comes from first-hand experience of what a car and a driver need at a circuit.

03 / CONTINUITY

Infrastructure before ambition

The trailer came before the car and the services came alongside the racing, so the programme can be sustained season after season.

“We are not here merely to chase a dream. We are building something our children can look at and know that ordinary people can make extraordinary things real.” Phillip Afiléon, Founder & Team Principal
How it was built

From one E46 to an operating race team.

The services exist because the racing needed them first. Each step added the practical capability the next one depended on.

2020A BMW E46 arrives as an ordinary road car and becomes the project that lays the foundations: years of building, repairing and learning.
The trailerBefore buying a race car, the team acquires the means to move one. Transport becomes the first piece of infrastructure.
The Porsche 924A purpose-built competition car with its own racing history becomes the core of the programme.
The servicesThe costs of simply arriving at a circuit lead the team to build the support it needed, then offer it to other drivers.
What it offers

Six ways the team helps drivers.

Operated by Afiléon Motorsport from Gravesend. Prices, dates and booking are on the live website.

01

BMW E46 Arrive & Drive

A supported full-day package in the team's own BMW E46: circuit transport, preparation and Afiléon trackside monitoring included, so a driver can get useful seat time without owning, preparing or moving a track car.

  • Brands Hatch and Lydden Hill
  • Driver licence and eligibility checks
  • Track admission is booked separately with the circuit

02

Pre-Track-Day Inspection

A mobile mechanical readiness check before the circuit day, so problems are found in the driveway rather than on the first lap.

  • Brakes, tyres, steering, suspension and fluids
  • Wheel-off visual checks
  • At a safe, level, off-road location in Kent

03

Track-Day & Race-Day Support

Trackside mechanical support for a driver's own car, from first inspection to final report, with measured rather than guessed condition.

  • Brake-disc and coolant temperature spot checks
  • Tyre pressures, wheel checks and tread and pad measurements
  • Half-day or full-day, with paddock shelter where allowed

Support details ↗

04

Track-Day Support and Transport

One date and one quotation: the team collects the car, takes it to the circuit, supports it all day and brings it home.

  • Kent and Medway collections, within 75 road miles of Gravesend
  • Brands Hatch, Lydden Hill or another agreed circuit
  • No payment until the quote is agreed

How it works ↗

05

Vehicle Transport

Trailer transport for suitable vehicles, built from the same logistics problem the race programme had to solve for itself.

  • Priced from the real journey, vehicle and timing
  • Suitable vehicle and loading checks first

Transport details ↗

06

Vehicle Recovery

Planned trailer recovery in Kent for non-running or undriveable vehicles, with a lower-cost quoted option and a fixed-price priority option for eligible Kent circuit collections.

  • Standard Recovery: quoted before dispatch
  • Priority Recovery: fixed price, priority dispatch
