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 …

In the peak of last summer, we were asked by the guys at Yokohama UK to help them test the all new ADVAN Neova® AD09, their latest road legal track tyre. At the time, the tested set were the only four AD09 tyres in the UK and due to Yokohama's strict marketing policy, we were unable to post anything about it on our social media. Fast forward 6 months, and the tyres are now available to purchase and our testing video can go live (video at the bottom of this blog). So, before you buy them, …

With a hectic season of racing almost to a close, we were back at Silverstone for the 750 Motor Club Birkett 6 Hour Relay Race. The event takes place every year at the end of October on the GP Circuit. You can read about our exploits in the race last time on 23rd October 2021 by clicking the link below: 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 …

Round 7 of the 750MC Club Enduro Championship at Oulton Park, less than a month after we were here for the Turismo-X on the same layout. The next day we were straight Anglesey for R6 of the ClubEnduro, where it went pretty well for me, and not so well for Ryan and Danny! You can read about that by clicking the link below. This weekend Ryan was not available, and Danny was still rebuilding his wallet from Anglesey, so we were only racing with the Golf this weekend. Below is the layout of …

Round 6 of the 750MC Club Enduro Championship at Anglesey was the day after Round 4 of Turismo-X at Oulton Park. You can read about that by clicking the link below. Luckily we did not have any major issues (a couple of oil sensors on both TTs caused a bit of headache!) so it was a case of prepping the cars at Oulton then loading up for the 2.5hr journey to North Wales! Adam was not able to make this round as well, so to help Ryan out, DannyDC2 was back again to share the duties. Check …

It has been over 2 months since the last Turismo-X Racing Championship race at Snetterton with the MSV Summer break. But that didn't mean we had a rest! The week after we were over at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium, a few weeks later at Snetterton then on to Silverstone with the 750MC Club Enduro Championship. Spa went well as we were in the Area Motorsport Golfs, but the two rounds in our own cars proved to be a bit of a nightmare, with various woes. We are confident we will get everything so …
