Jamun Racing under Tony Mundy and his son James enjoyed another successful season in 2007 taking its third successive Team Championship and guiding Callum MacLeod to become the 2007 British Formula Ford Champion. The season also saw the team win 24 of the 45 races since the introduction of the Duratec engine rejuvenated the category in 2006 which had seen them guide Nathan Freke to becoming the UK Formula Ford Champion in the process of obtaining their second Team Championship. In 2005 Jamun Racing Services enjoyed one of their most successful seasons with Charlie Donnelly becoming the UK Formula Ford Champion with team mate Duncan Tappy finishing runner-up in the UK Formula Ford Championship with the team winning the Team Championship for the first time. The roles were reversed when Duncan Tappy maintained a 12-race winning run to take victory in the final of the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch with Charlie Donnelly claiming the runners-up position. Charlie Donnelly had certainly made up for the bad luck he suffered during the 2004 UK Formula Ford Championship when he finished seventh having won four rounds. The 2003 season saw Ben Clucas return to the team with a great start winning the first two races at Mondello Park. He followed that up by winning the third round at Brands Hatch but unfortunately due to a lack of funds he was forced to withdraw from the Championship but he still finished a creditable seventh. In 2002 with Haywood Racing boss Jim Warren announcing his retirement, the decision was made to take over the Haywood junior team, cars, transporter, data etc., and run two highly successful Mygale chassis in the 2002 Avon Junior Championship. This decision was highly rewarded with the team enjoying great success in the running and setting up of the Mygale 2001 cars taking Ben Clucas to his first championship title in the Avon Junior Formula Ford Zetec Championship with 6 Wins, 9 Pole Positions and 5 Fastest Laps with team mate Wesley Godwin taking third place with 8 Podium Finishes and 5 Fastest Laps. During 2000/2001 Jamun produced a new Formula Ford Zetec car the T25. Running a single car in the Slick 50 National Championship in 2000 and the Avon Junior Championship in 2001, finishing in the top 6 on several occasions the car also finished 10th in the Formula Ford Festival final. Then Haywood Racing boss Jim Warren, who had won Formula Ford titles with Jenson Button and Nicolas Kiesa in works Mygales approached Tony who recalls "I'd got to know Jim, and when he decided to pack up he came to me and asked if I wanted a couple of his Mygales and a transporter. He offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. We made the conscious decision then to stop building our own cars." It was a turning point for the team and with the competitive and developed Mygale SJOI’s, Jamun attracted top young talent for the first time and as they say the rest is just history. Jamun Team Manager Tony Mundy has a degree in design engineering and was Chief Designer at GEC for years and motor racing was then purely a hobby and remained very much a secondary activity. He worked on the American F16 fighter jets and helped design the Head -up Display which is now used by all miltary and commercial aircraft. He finally left GEC to start Jamun Racing Services as motor racing was his real interest having started in motorsport as a mechanic in the 1960s before realising that in his own words, "the only way I was going to race was if I did my own car." FF 1600 was in its infancy, and Tony rebuilt a Formula 3 Brabham BT 15 to take the category's Kent engine. Quickly he decided to design and build his first car, and went into partnership with fellow racing enthusiast Mike Sirett, a male model and adding his professional `handle', Mike James, provided the other half of the new project's name of Jamun. That first car was the T2 of 1969 but Tony Mundy's racing career didn't take off, although he received interest from other drivers about the car and built several copies. Despite this and the quality of the design (the T2 continues to prove competitive in historic FF1600 events), racing remained very much a secondary activity to his job as a designer of head-up displays for fighter aircraft. More FF 1600s followed, but it wasn't until the late 1980s that things started to grow and as Tony remembers "In the 1980s it got bigger and bigger, Neil McBride (who later became an F3000 engineer) became our first full-time employee, and in 1989 I gave up my job to concentrate on racing." The first few seasons saw Jamun and works driver Chris Hall competing with a Formula Ford 1600 car, gain many wins which culminated in the team winning the coveted Champion of Brands title in 1991 along with the Winter Series title. They also finished an impressive 7th overall in the Formula Ford Festival and World Cup in the same year. In 1992 Jamun decided to contest the National Formula Ford Championship and during this year gave the works Van Dieman and Swift teams something to think about when they achieved numerous top six finishes including an excellent 3rd place at Donington Park. Again Chris finished 7th in the Festival of that year and Jamun continued to dominate at Brands Hatch where Mark Marchant won the 1992 Winter Series with two wins and two second places from 5 starts. In 1993 the company concentrated on a number of other projects, including detail design and fabrication of the Chris Craft Rocket road car. Tony Mundy worked with Gordon Murray of Brabham and Mclaren fame on this unique and exciting road car, producing the first and second prototypes, thereafter producing all the smaller production parts, i.e. suspension, pedals, gear linkage etc. Towards the end of 1993 Jamun designed and constructed a Zetec engined Formula Ford for the Formula Ford Festival and World Cup. With two weeks to spare the brand new car was finished and despite the lack of testing and development the car finished a creditable 15th overall in the hands of Mark Marchant. 1994 saw Jamun return to the Champion of Brands Series with Mark Marchant and by August of that year with three rounds remaining, Mark had secured the title with 6 wins from 10 rounds. Mark and Jamun won races at Lydden Hill setting a new lap record in the process. For 1996 Tony Mundy designed a brand new Formula Ford car that would accept either the Ford 1600 or the 1800 Zetec engine. In the 1600 configuration, with Mark Marchant driving, the car won numerous 1600 races, ending the year by winning the prestigious 1600 Duckhams Formula Ford Festival and World Cup at Brands Hatch. During 1997 Jamun concentrated on building a batch of customers’ cars. However a Zetec' version of the car was running in the remaining 4 rounds of the National Slick 50 Championship. This high profile series supporting the British Saloon Car Championship had cars entered by all the major manufacturers. With only limited time to develop the car it was already a top 10 finisher. Jamun have produced a number of customer Formula Ford cars in 1600 and Zetec form, also providing support for customers at race meetings. Their semi works car with Neil Blunden driving had finished the 1999 season winning both the Champion of Kent Zetec Championship and the Slick 50 Zetec Challenge Series.
