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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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?

SmudgerByName

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
