Neal, whose son Matt won three outright BTCC titles with the team, was emulated by Gordon Shedden, who not only took triple crowns but also matched Neal Jr’s record of 52 race wins with Dynamics.
“Steve and Matt gave me my chance in touring cars in 2006,” Shedden, who claimed Dynamics’ last BTCC race win at Croft in 2022, told Autosport.
“Matt had just won the championship, and it was Steve’s vision to take me as a young upstart and put me in a championship-winning touring car team, and to pair me with Eddie Hinckley as engineer.
“I owe everything to Steve; it was his belief in me that gave me everything.
“He was an absolute character. I only spoke to Steve on the phone three times in my life, and he fired me each of those three times!
“Any other time it was Steve on the phone, I would phone Matt and say, ‘What’s going on?’
“You’ve never met anyone so driven in your life. He was a workaholic, unbelievably passionate about everything he was doing. You knew exactly where you were with him.”
