Wardy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi guys. I havent posted much for a while but have been seeing whats been going on at UKSO.Basically i have decided to turn my very nice and quick road car into a Race car.I am entering a few events this year with the expectation to race in a championship next year! I have here my provisional dates of racing for the year along with the event type in order; Time Attack Cadwell Park - Sat 25th April CSCC Brands Hatch - Sun 31st May Time Attack Brands Hatch Sun 21st June CSCC Mallory Park - Sat 1st August CSCC Brands Hatch 31st - 1st November ( Day and Night Event) Motorsports at the Palace (Dates to be Announced) Brighton Speed Trials (TBA and Invite Only) The reason i am putting this up here is because it is hard to come by a starlet out on the road let alone one in motorsport.It would be a great opportunity to meet people from accross the country and also the support would be very much welcomed! Here are a few pictures of the car now Hopefully i get some good feed back from your guys and hopefully see some of you soon! Thanks Wardy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5e colin Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 nice 1 that going to keep up pretty gooood and more if you find out the gearing is to long for the short circuits you could always fit an oem lsd they have a lot shorter gears for the twisty bits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wardy Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Good bit of advice there thanks! My current gearbox is pretty good for brands and cadwell and i have a 2 way LSD nice and snug in there It doesnt do too bad! Did a testing/Trackday sunday before last at Brands Hatch Indy, Tony Gilham from Team Hard (BTCC) was there with 4 new golfs to enter into a VW Golf championship, they were getting Blue Flagged so i could get past and they were running slicks too! Very excited to see how competitive i am in my classes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 i will be keeping my eyes glued on this thread thats for sure best of luck :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I often think a well set up starlet would do well in some classes be very interested to see how u get on is that a custom cages cage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toyotag2014 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Might have to come brands to watch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Chuffed to see a starlet finally doing a time attack round! Especially at Cadwell too. I'll be there all day.I could potentially have a word with my boss about getting some stickers across to you or something. Kinda like a sponsorship. Your car would look perfext with our stickers on it due to the colour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dale SR Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Love the color on this looks good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wardy Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks guys appreciate it! For sure Liam that could be a plan! Come over and say hi! I an trying to get people to come over have a chat and to kind of not make people feel im unapproachable because im racing. I say this as i have had this in the past with other racers. I know where i came from and thats where im going to stay! Anybody is welcome in my pit! (ps bring coffee) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jordan walker Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Envy you massively! In building mine for Motorsport aswell only its nowhere near ready Is it the uk time attack series your going for? That's the one I'm hoping to have a go at will be realy interesting to see how you do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 car looks great!!! is it wrapped? what suspension mods have you done to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wardy Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Cheers guys! Yer that's right it's the UK Time Attack and take your time bud! Don't rush as this could cause even more problems on race day and you don't want that!Hopefully I can bring it to s few events other than racing this year as well like JAE or japfest just to get people to know about the car! Maybe a some sessions at track would also be needed! Lol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wardy Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Tbh bean pretty much everything I can to conform with regs and stuff. It's a very good set up. If I'm chasing a race driver in a 300+BHP golf and running slicks then i think it's good anyway lol!It is wrapped yes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol!Aye it will be next year before it sees the track I recon needs running in and mapping first plus a few handling issues lol but I'm sure we will cross paths at some point 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hoping to do a couple of rounds in 750mc Roadsports this year, need to do my ARDS first, hoping to get that done in the next month, along with medical and everything else that's needed. I also need to order a trailer, that'll be 4 weeks of waiting around. I don't see any external extinguisher or power cut offs, you'll be needing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
