We had a mixed bag at Croft last time out, you can read all about it in the previous blog, but Ryan and Dylan didn't finish due to the KOTOUČ Sequential Gearbox causing some serious issues (more on that at a later date). Round 2 took us to Silverstone on the GP layout. With very little time to get the car sorted, Ryan decided to sit this one out. This left Dylan without a drive, and after much persuasion, I let him share the seat with me for the Club Enduro Championship Race on Sunday, on the …

Recently we have experimented with Thermal Imaging technology, in particular the TOPDON TC002C Infrared Camera, a specialised thermal imaging camera compatible with iOS Type-C devices such as the iPhone 15 & 16 models. But how does this revolutionize the Motorsport / Automotive industry? Motorsport To achieve record breaking lap times, temperature has a big role to play. Whether this is IAT's (Intake Air Temperatures), EGT's (Exhaust Gas Temperatures), Brakes or Tyre Temperatures, each contr …

The 2025 season meant little change for us in terms of cars, with just some minor tweaks, with Ryan and Dylan using the KOTOUČ Sequential Gearbox and also sorting a 2nd set of Öhlins Suspension from Mick Gardner Racing. We would be racing in the 750MC RoadSports, which for this season is a Championship, and the Club Enduro Championship races as well. Videos of the winter rebuild on the TTs is below: All the details and dates for future races we are entering can be found on the …

Wheel Spacers Wheel spacers are unquestionably one of the simplest and cheapest modifications to enhance your vehicle's appearance. By reducing the offset of your wheels and spacing them further from the centre of the car, spacers can minimise arch gaps and give your vehicle a more aggressive look. Not just for looks. Wheel spacers are also perfect for widening the track width of your vehicle. On FWD vehicles, widening the track on the front axle can improve turn-in capabilities and reduce unde …

With just over a month since our fantastic 1-2 finish at Oulton Park, it was another RoadSports and Club Enduro double header at Donington on the GP Circuit. A 45 Minute Race on Saturday, then a 2hr race on Sunday. It would be the final round for both races this year. I was alone for the full weekend (as always), Ryan was on his own for Roadsports and Dylan would be sharing with him for ClubEnduro on Sunday. Michael and Lewis were not coming with the Golf this weekend, but DannyDC2, fresh from h …

After a great result at Silverstone, we had a 5 week break before we out again, this time for a 100 minute Club Enduro Championship race on Saturday at Oulton Park. I would be driving the #1 TT on my own, with Ryan sharing the #6 TT with Dylan again. We'd secured a P1 for the #6 last time out, which put them second in the championship. I'd only managed 3rd after getting battered and a fair bit of damage to the suspension making the car handle like a shopping trolley. We do a full teardown in the …

After the disaster at Cadwell, it was time for another double header at Silverstone on the International Circuit.

I was alone for the full weekend, Ryan was Solo for Roadsports, with Michael joining us solo in the Golf. Dylan would be sharing with Ryan for ClubEnduro on Sunday. We would also be doing the Hot Hatch Races, but in something different, we will be testing some Japanese …

After a long day at Oulton for TimeAttack, we had to pack up and drive across to Cadwell. Straight there is around 3 hours, but we had to drop the Ibiza and RS3 off at HQ, so that added another 30 minutes or so. Paul, Tomas and Tye had taken the Truck in the afternoon, ready for Round 4 of the RoadSports race on Sunday. Below is the layout of the Cadwell Park Circuit: The TT TDIs have a declared weight of 1177kg, and being in Class A can only have ~285bhp/ton, which works out around 325b …
