With the MSV Trackday Championship over with, we could have some fun. If you haven't read about the TDC Championship, click below:. As the season finale, held at Brands Hatch in Kent, hosted the SuperCup and Trackday Trophy races on the same day as the TDC, we thought it would be pretty cool to do all 3 races. The timetable is below, with back to back qualifying sessions for all 3 races, then only a gap of around 1hr between the TDC and SuperCup Race, the team needed to be on point! …

With 6 rounds of the MSV Trackday Championship down, after some great battles over in Holland at the fantastic Zandvoort Circuit back in October (which you can read about it here), we were going into the final round in a great position, with a lead of 12 points (9 with my dropped score). The season finale, Round 7, is always held at Brands Hatch in Kent. This and the season opener at Donington Park are the only dates where the SuperCup and Trackday Trophy races are also on the same day. It …

Something a little different to what we normally do race wise, we decided early on in the year to enter the 750 Motor Club Birkett 6 Hour Relay Race which takes place every year at the end of October on the Silverstone GP Circuit.Instead of a straight race or normal endurance format, the relay element is for the driver AND car. Basically, a car and driver goes out, does their stint (which can be anything from 1 lap up to 3hrs of driving), and when they come back in the pits, a second car and d …

While we were in Zandvoort for the MSV Trackday Championship we figured it would be cost effective to do 2 races in the weekend, since we were already here and set up, and we would not be getting the ferry until Monday evening. The race on Sunday was the MSV SuperCup which has very similar rules to the TDC, but free tyre choice and more aerodynamic mods are allowed. All we had to do in the Ibiza was take 10Kg of Ballast out (Forced induction requires only 20Kg in the SuperCup). You can read abou …

Round 5 of the MSV Trackday Championship was back at our favourite track, Donington. You can read about it here. This time, Round 6 was the international round, at the newly announced F1 2020 Circuit Zandvoort. Right on the beach in North Holland, the circuit hosted the F1 from the 1950s all the way up to 1985, so there are parts of the track that are nowhere near the safety level of the modern GP Circuits! The most straightforward route for us was to drive from Darkside HQ to Hull, which …

Round 4 of the MSV Trackday Championship took us back to Brands Hatch on the excellent GP Layout. You can read about it here. Round 5 was supposed to be on the GP Layout at Donington, but due to an issue with the number of marshals, the event was switched back to the usual National configuration, one we were victorious at in the first race of the season. The layout is below: So with the last minute change from the GP to National layout, our testing on the Monday before was thrown out …

So its been a while since the last A5 video due to other projects but you'll be glad to know we are still working on this project slowly but surely! Check out UPDATE of our Vlog below: And then, not a massive update, but our new, bigger big turbo has arrived, so we talk through the specs and run the car up on the Dyno before we start to rip it to bits again. Full A5 spec list and links to the products we fit throughout the build - http://drksi.de/AudiA5 You can also enter …

Round 3 of the MSV Trackday Championship was a VERY wet Oulton Park, where we finished 1st in Class! You can read about it here. We then had a go in the MSV Trackday Trophy on the Silverstone GP Circuit, which you can read about here. Spoiler alert, we finished 2nd after getting our first ever Pole Position! Round 4 was supposed to be on the Silverstone National Circuit, but with the resurfacing before the British F1 and Moto GP rounds, it was moved to Brands Hatch, on the GP Circuit that is …

If you hate reading then scroll right to the bottom to view our VLOG of the weekend.... We had a great result in the TDC at a very wet Oulton Park, which you can read about it here. Round 5 of the MSV Trackday Trophy, brought us to Silverstone, on the iconic GP Circuit, the same as you see the Formula 1 and Moto GP at. Unfortunately we won't be lapping anywhere near as quick as them! As it is a World Class circuit, we get detailed analysis of sector times and speeds. Sector 1 takes us fro …
