After winning the rwd class in time attack this year the plan was to try and raise sponsorship for a sequential box to allow me to move up to pro class.

After some discussions between Airtec and amd tuning. It has been decided that I will drive this next season.




I am so excited to get the chance to drive an ex btcc car. We will be entering time attack pro class. It will enable me to enjoy my cosworth a bit more as last season I couldn't do any trackdays or testing due to budget and time. The cosworth will be at all ford shows on track I will be giving passenger rides. Plus I will be at Vw shows and trax in the golf giving passenger laps too.

So so excited. I can't wait to test the golf in the new year.

Some pics

 

Nice one mate. Fair play! I hope it goes well for you.

I might get to cadwell and see how you get on.

 

Now that is cool!

 

Sad to see the Cossie being retired but the move makes sense!

Best of luck for the coming season mate!

 

Mental!!! Best of luck with next years racing!

 

Major upgrade over the cossie, well done

 

cool

 

Wow. How cool. Bet you are pinging off the walls with excitement

 

very cool and your a lucky guy. i was watching time attack on youtube last night funnily enough and dreaming how id love a to be in it. hope it goes well for you.

what engine and bhp will you be running? staying fwd? love the btcc to so must be great to drive a car from them.

 

Good luck with the new drive Ronnie, you have earned it mate

Shame it's not a blue oval, but you will still be well supported by everyone

 

Well done mate

 

All the best for the future in time attack Ronnie. Shame about not using the cossie and shame the new car isnt a Ford Focus.

 

Next step BTCC

 

Nice one Ron

 

Well done Ron, good move

 

Nice one Ron, you'll have some new challenges with the car next year!!

 

well done ronnie

 

Thanks everybody. I am over the moon and very excited to get out in it.



Thanks mate. Yes I am very lucky. It will stay pretty much exactly as it is. It is around 350bhp


That's very kind of you thank you mate. As I said the cossie will definitely be retired. Will be able to have more fun with it next year.


That's my dream. One day maybe

 

Ron i just hope when you go to the VW shows, that you dont end up putting Bentley wheels on your car (or stick a pair of skinny jeans on either )

Well done and good luck. Will be following your progress!

 

Well done Ron you deserve it fella

 

Lol I have the airbag suspension for it so far. And stretched tyres.

Thanks mate


Thanks Paul

 

That's great news, i'll be there at the first round again and hope to get to a few more this time

 

MSD be dabbling with this or not?

Massive well done as well. Amazing achievement! Wish you all the best for the next season of TT.

 

Next: a TRS tow strap?? Lol

 

I would imagine with AMD sponsoring and supplying car that would be a big no

Mike

 

Ronnie are AMD going to tweak the hell out of this? What engine is it running?

Best of luck

Mike

 

Was running a Lehmann (VW motorsport works engine builders, from Liechtenstein) built 2.0 turbo motor.

Some old pictures of car when AmD first ran it..

 

Wow , Exciting for you guys ,well done .
Please bring my wheels back Now ,i have someone for them mate
Cheers

 

Thanks mate. Hope to see you at the first round.


Amd will be looking after the car on that side of things. The cossie will be going back to msd still though.

Thank you.




Thanks mike. It is running a 2.0tfsi as stated above there's no point tweaking it at the moment. It is running roughly 350bhp which will be plenty for me to learn the car. If we feel we get to a point that it needs more power then we have a play.



Thanks Tony. I will get the wheels sent to you. I am just waiting for the new hub adaptors to turn up so I can fit the other wheels. Otherwise I won't be able to move the car. I will try and borrow a set of wheels so I can get them off.

 

Get some fresh pics up Ronnie

 

How have I not seen this thread lol

Guess I dont post on hear much nowadays :0 (

 

Got the golf back from paint. Ben aka grey goose painted at his yard. So happy with the outcome







Building it back up ready for testing.




How it should look when stickered up

 

The air ducts for a rear rad or just air flow?

 

Car looks stunning. Was really impressed by the car when it ran in the BTCC. Gutted about the Cossie but glad its been retired in one piece rather than being binned somewhere. Looking forward to seeing it at a few shows this year

 

Looks nice so far

 

Looks good Ron, have you driven LHD before?

 

Nice Work Ronnie, 1 careful owner?

 

4 days till the next round @ Snetterton :0)
