Maximus are a team of alternative-lifestyle boatbuilders and rickshaw makers from Bath. They have appeared on Scrapheap Challenge previously, impressing one and all with their fabricating skills, lateral thinking and laid-back approach. They'll be racing a VW Camper Van.
Paul McGarry, team captain, builds rickshaws at Cycle Maximus. His welding and fabricating is top-notch and his circus skills aren't bad either!
Will Trickett is a boat engineer and overall mechanical whiz - he once built a 30-tonne ship in 30 days!
Dennis Mapp works with Paul at Cycle Maximus. He used to drive forklift trucks and is an avid motocross fan. They named their van Tallulah in honour of Paul's new-born daughter.
Maximus' VW Camper Van offers a sturdy platform for modifications and a powerful drive unit with lots of torque, but it's not the fastest vehicle in the race.
