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. We would be doing a 45 Minute 750MC RoadSports Race on Saturday, then a 2hr Club Enduro Championship race on Sunday. 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 …

After an unusually long month off, it was time for the next round of TimeAttack at Oulton Park, before we needed to shoot across the Pennines to Cadwell on the Sunday. Another busy weekend! I would only be bringing the RS3, and this time Luke was driving the Ibiza. The TT would be waiting for me at Cadwell when I arrived (hopefully!). Below is the layout of Oulton Park, we would be doing the full International Layout, which is what we normally do, and the first time the Championship had been …

It had been a few weeks since the TTs were out, and we were off to Snetterton for Friday testing, 45 Minutes 750MC RoadSports on Saturday, then a 2hr Club Enduro Championship race on Sunday. I was alone for the full weekend, Ryan was Solo for Roadsports and Michael was back in the Golf after a great debut at Silverstone! Lewis was supposed to be sharing with him, but wasn't feeling too good on Friday evening so decided to leave the driving to Michael. Dylan would be sharing with Ryan for ClubEnd …

We had a good few weekends off racing, then it was time for another TimeAttack round, this time all the way down South at Brands Hatch. I would only be bringing the RS3 with it's new livery. The TT is being prepared for Snetterton the weekend after so would stay at HQ. The Ibiza was coming along again, this time being piloted by Tom. He wanted to do Brands as he'd done a trackday here a few years ago in his 90bhp Mazda MX5! Below is the layout of the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit. It is a great t …
