An unusual calendar for 2023 meant that round 7, the final round of the season for the 750MC Club Enduro would be on the Sunday AFTER the 6hr Birkett relay. Normally, we would not have risked using any of our championship cars in the race on the previous day, however, with the TTDI no longer in contention for the top 3 spots, and the Golf having already sealed it at the previous round, we used the Golf for as much as possible, with the TT as a backup. The guys had to do a quick reprep after the …

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 year by clicking the link below. In 2022 we pushed the Golf to do 95 laps, which was over 4:15 of racing flat out. The year before it did 86. The plan this year was to try and go for even longer, with as close to 3hrs in the first stint, and a seco …

For Round 6 of the BRSCC Audi TT Cup Racing, we were at Croft, which turned out to be VERY eventful! You can read about it below. We were then back to Snetterton for another triple header on the 300 Circuit. This would be the last round of the season, and thankfully the last round on Nankang NS-2Rs as the serious announced the move to Direzza since the series will be following the TCR UK Championship, which are supported by Goodyear (who own Dunlop - yes it's confusing!). It will also possibly …

With a load of 750MC Club Enduro and RoadSports races done, it was time for another BRSCC ClubSport Trophy race in my TT before the last TTCR Round at Snetterton. Luke Handley was supposed to be joining me again but was away on holiday, however Andrew Dyer and Ross Makar brought their cars. I am using Yokohama A052 Tyres instead of the TTCR spec Nankang NS-2Rs, Dyer was sticking to the Direzza (that will be the mandatory tyres for next season) and Makar was on Yokohama A052s like me, albeit 225/ …

The Golf and TTDI had a 4 week rest from racing since the last 750MC RoadSports round at Brands Hatch (which you can read about below), it was time to go back to our home circuit of Donington for both the RS on Saturday and Club Enduro on Sunday. It was going to be a much steadier affair for the guys, with just the Golf and TTDI out, the TTFSI and RS3 sat waiting for someone to get their wallet out and drive. Dylan would be sharing with Ryan, and in the Roadsports race, we would be up against …

For Round 4 of the BRSCC Audi TT Cup Racing, we were at Knockhill (you can read about below), due to clashes with the 750MC races, I was unable to make it to Round 5 at Cadwell. Carl also missed it as he was expecting a new addition to the family around that time, and Luke had a fight with a concrete pump hose (he lost) so we were all back for the penultimate round at Croft. A layout of the Croft Circuit is below. This track has a combination of some fast flowing corners, as well as some …

A week after the last ClubSport Trophy I was back at Brands in the Golf for the 750MC RoadSports Series race, I then had a week at Idiada in Spain to test some tyres (more on that soon!), then was back with the BRSCC for the next CST race at Donington on the National Circuit this time. Last time at Donington I had suffered an Actuator failure, so I was hoping this time would be more successful! The previous CST round was pretty good though: Below is the layout of the Donington Park Natio …

A nice 2 week gap since the Snetterton RoadSports and Club Enduro races (which you can read about by clicking the image below), we were back down South for the standalone RoadSports Race at Brands Hatch again, this time on the Indy Layout. This time I would be in the Golf, Ryan in the TTDI and Dylan back in the RS3 TCR. Below is the layout of the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit: The Golf would be running in Class B, which is 240bhp/tonne without the driver. Diesels have a 1.05 power multi …

Apologies for the late Blog again, we have been back to back with the 750MC Club Enduro , RoadSports, BRSCC Audi TT Cup Racing, and ClubSport Trophy , as well as a trip to Idiada in Spain to test some tyres (more on that soon!), so I have not had much time to get these Blogs sorted. I would be back for the CST with Luke Handley joining me, with the hope that I had finally found the missing power that seemed to have been plaguing me. We had gone all over the place with setup to try and fix what l …
