Title: Movie: Invited to Golf GTI TCR Heaven :)
Post by: Wide on 18 June 2017, 19:49
Was invited to the VW official touring car team to look into their 3 st Golf GTI as they operate in the Swedish standard championship STCC. Awesome cool cars that are under the TCR regulations.
Thought my GTI facelift was cool until I saw these golfs ..  :cry:

 The track is Sweden's largest horse trotting track, just asphalted this weekend. The next day all asphalt is taken ..
 :grin:
Part 1, the cool one.. :wink:

Swedes and turnips are the names for types of veg, and the two are often confused.

Just for the benefit of Wide, this is the difference between a Swede and a Turnip(note that they got the names the wrong way around for some like me)

I agree!. It is so great that you can compete in race series all around the world.

And the running cost is so low  :smiley:
