Beetle Challenge

The Official Beetle Challenge Website - Aircooled VW Circuit Racing in the UK

There has been a flurry of activity in the lead up to Brands Hatch on the Sunday 9th Nov (It clashes with the Slough Swap-Meet.. .but hey go to Slough early and pop down to Brands for lunchtime (Bring us a bacon-butty pretty please ) - It’s only a 45-60min drive… 

Simon’s “Monster” Bug survived it’s debut race at Lydden in October…

…then on the Monday afterwards, he lunched the gearbox and snapped a driveshaft ’show boating’ - so it was straight back into the workshop to swap out the gearbox (Cheers Craig for the box!) 



 

Snap! - When your engine blows you cry…

… but when you snap a driveshaft you have a perverse kind of pride and laugh!



Above is Trigger’s race car - in progress - which will debut in the 9th at Brands Hatch 

Craig has had a frustrating couple of weeks, as the ‘missfire’ gremlins keep raising their ugly head on his No ‘78′ car - He has submitted his entry for the Brands Hatch race s0 we are all hoping that the issues are resolved and he can come out and enjoy the race day.
