The MV Solar Rally team went back to the dirt tracks and competed in the Singleton Automotive Caves Classic Techworkz near Oberon last weekend. 

Driver Michael Valantine and Navigator Erin Valantine were seeded 16th in the Datsun 1600 and were keen to get the car on the course. Support crew for this outing were Dennis Valantine, Andrew Bacon, Kirk Bendall, Tim Valantine, Lois Valantine and Laura Valantine.

Nothing better than words from the Navigator himself, a disappointing end with Tim and Adam rolling their car, but the guys are both okay - the car however will need some work to get it rally ready again. 

Two MV Solar Rally team is taking to the course with both Michael and Tim taking their respective cars out for a spin - first tyres to hit the road this season.

20 January 2018, Saturday, was a grand time for Team MV Solar when Erin Valantine attended the Techworkz Launch Night to accept their 2017 TechWorkz Rally Series trophies.

Michael and Erin Valantine achieved first outright in the 2017 Techworkz Automotive New South Wales Development Rally Series – or DRS. The MV Solar team of Father and Daughter, started out on a high, with a win at the first of the six-round series in their 2WD Datsun Stanza. The Singleton Automotive Caves Classic rally was the opening round, and a win here was exactly the start to the season Valantine was looking for.

On 17 December, 2017, MV Solar received a heartwarming certificate of appreciation from St. Joseph's Primary School in Denman for offering support to the School Presentation Night.
