Read it in autosport this week, page 107. 750 Motor Club are launching a series for mk2 golfs in 07. Planning on doing it anyone else? BTW anyone know where i can find regs?
-
You need to go onto the Clubgti website and look in the motorsport section of the forum, also check out golfgtiracing.co.uk for more info.
I also am going to take part but not sure which class to enter at the moment, what class are you going to enter 8V or 16V and why?
-
Sounds interesting , if the classes are along the lines of the stock hatch champoinship it , should be very exciting and quite affordable ,
have to get the regs up ASAP
-
Could be cool regs are here http://www.golfgtiracing.co.uk/Regulations.htm (http://www.golfgtiracing.co.uk/Regulations.htm)
Even if we don't get into the racing it would be a good forum outing to the races in the mk2's showing our support :)
A summary of the regulations is given below.
* 2 classes – 8 and 16 valve.
* Standard engines, with control camshafts.
* Exhausts free from manifold back.
* Spring and damper rates free.
* No changes to any suspension mounts allowed.
* Bolt in cage only.
* Control tyres.
* Minimum weights for both classes.

this is awesome news :cool: i hope the racing is close :evil:
will give us an answer to the 16v vs 8v argument!! although the 8v's will have 50 kg's less weight so will be a bit better on the brakes and corners :cry:
-
Just a shame there isnt one for Mk1's....
-
I know a few of these guys (went to Nurburgring with them in October and Oulton Park in November) as they are affiliated with the circuit days team.
Nice bunch of guys, very well organised, should be a well run outfit. This is something I am going to look at for 2008 as I'm too busy this year to dedicate the time, but next year...look out!!
-
Yeah i aws with these guys at Oulton back end of last year and very well organised. 2008 for me too, just gonna get the Mk2 ready and do a few track days this year and see what's what. Giving up bike at end of this season to concentrate on 4 wheels - I just hope i don't regret giving up the 2 wheels - :undecided: :cry:

Were you there in early November? If so, we may have pounded the track together at the same time!!
I was in my blue Subaru (not the annoying slow instructor one that was holding everyone up through the bends!!)

The results are posted here:

From a personal point of veiw the day could've gone a bit more smoothly. I was lapping behind Adam in practice and decided to drop back to give myself a bit of space. I had to clear a slower car on my next lap and unforuntely I found a wet patch, then the grass and finally the tyre wall.
The car wasn't that badly damaged just a wishbone, track rod end and some cosmetics.
We got the car out again with the help of Paul VW Nut kindly donating a spare wishbone and Ian and Graeme my mechanic and team manager :grin:.
It didn't feel quite right on the warm up lap and it later transpired that the rack was bent internally and the rear gearbox mount had broke. So I just circulated as quick as possible trying to make the car as "wide" as I could during the race.
Qualified 7th, Finished 11th overall and 3rd in class, so I managed to come away with some points on the board.
I'm missing the next round at Brands to go and play in the 2.0L Hotrod European Championship in Ireland but will be back in time for Silverstone in August.
