We had over a months rest from the 750MC races, but the Brands Hatch GP round of the RoadSports Series started a crazy few weeks of racing, that followed a 2 weeks, 2600 mile road trip around the USA. I hope the vlog will explain it better with what was going on than I can in words here. You can read about Oulton 750MC Club Enduro race below. For Brands, we wanted to mix it up a bit. Me and Ryan were going to drive both TTs and swap buring Qualifying and the Race, then Dylan was back, driving i …

Apologies for the late Blog, I went away to the USA the day after getting back from this weekend and did not have chance to get it sorted. I am writing it whilst on another race trip, so things are a little 'busy' at the moment. We had a 2 week rest from the last round at Oulton in the 750MC Club Enduro before taking the short trip down the M1 to Donington for Round 3 of the BRSCC Audi TT Cup Racing, and another round of the ClubSport Trophy on the Sunday. Luke Handley and Carl Swift, who we ra …

Fresh from our success at Anglesey for Round 2 of both the RoadSports Series on Saturday, then the 750MC Club Enduro on Sunday, we were off to Oulton Park for the first solo race weekend in the ClubEnduro. Dylan was unable to attend due to work commitments, so Aaron Cooke, the 2022 MR2 Championship winner, was going to be partnering with Ryan. Brad in the RS3 was still absent and DannyDC2 was a last minute entry in a very nice E46 M3 we saw being shared with Nigel Greensall at Croft. I would be …

I had a week off after racing at Anglesey in the RoadSports Series and 750MC Club Enduro, then we were heading to Snetterton for the first round of the BRSCC Audi TT Cup Racing, as well as another round of the ClubSport Trophy on the Sunday. I also received a message from Chris at AxiaMetrics with an offer to jump in his FunCup on the Saturday. He has teamed up with my friend Simon Rudd, who I met whilst racing in the FocusCup. A good old reunion! Luke Handley and Carl Swift, who we race agains …

With Ryan back in the UK, we were off to Anglesey for Round 2 of both the RoadSports Series on Saturday, then the 750MC Club Enduro on Sunday. DannyDC2 was not with us this weekend, and neither was Brad in the RS3. This meant we were running two cars, the Golf with me driving, then the TT for Ryan and Dylan. This weekend was also the race debut of the TT TDI, which after some back to back testing against it's TFSI sister should be very competitive in Class A. We had a pretty good start to the s …

With just a week since our mixed weekend at Croft in the RoadSports Series and 750MC Club Enduro, it was time to get back out in the TT that Luke had built for me for the BRSCC Audi TT Cup Racing, but again in the ClubSport Trophy at Oulton, as we had missed the first TTCR Weekend at Brands, since it clashed with the 750MC first round. The first time in the TT was also a mixed bag, a comfortable Pole was followed by a 1st lap retirement from the race with a dodgy driveshaft. A pair of ne …

The last time the Golf and TT were driven in anger at a Race weekend was late October last year in the Birkett Relay. The TT did not perform as planned, but the Golf was out for the longest of any vehicle all day. You can ready about that below. The Golf has remained pretty much unchanged since the end of the season, but the TTs have had constant development over the winter, with one receiving the same CUAA diesel engine as the Golf. Some testing at Croft proved that it was as quick as the Golf …

The 2023 Season came round quicker than we always remember. 2022 saw us take the Turismo-X Class A Championship with the Golf, and come 2nd in the ClubEnduro. The TTs gave us many nightmares but seem to be getting somewhere now. During the off season, we pondered long and hard over what to do in 2023, and came to the conclusion that we still had a lot to prove in the 750MC Club Enduro , so would do the full season again in that. On most weekends the RoadSports Series races the day before, so w …

The CKRA engine is a 140ps 2.0 TDI found in the US & Canadian VW Passats. We get a lot of enquires for modifiying these so we thought we would put together a definiative tuning guide. The first step, as for most modern diesel is a custom remap. The CKRA will make around +30 BHP with a custom tune, retaining all of the stock hardware. See the "Powergate Remote Tuning Section" below for more information about tuning. Emissions Control Removal: Before removing any of the emissions control …
