Alec was approached in 2005, by ex-works BMW South Africa driver and race car connoisseur Paolo Cavalieri (Pablo Clark Racing) to restore the late Tony Viana’s Group One Winfield BMW E23 745i. Alec jumped at the opportunity, as the BMW E23 745i was only ever raced in South Africa (never internationally). Paolo and Alec have known each other since the early 1980’s, when both worked at BMW South Africa. Their passion for fast BMW's and race cars has forged a strong friendship and bond.

Towards the end of 2006 Cavalieri bought and imported a beautiful 1966 Ferrari 250 GTM SWB race car from America. This car was replicated on the original, raced by Stirling Moss by the North American Race Team (NART). From here the Evolution 2 Motorsport and Pablo Clark Racing names have become synonymous within historic racing, and they are recognized as the team who have restored, collected and maintained some of the most sought after race cars in South Africa. It has been a privilege for Alec and the Evolution 2 Motorsport to have been involved with these special race cars.
