Update: Some of you might know the Volkswagen Racing 2007 Season started for us just over two weeks ago.

We finished preparing the car for the opening round at Oulton park at the last minute, about 9pm on the sunday with the our scurtineering for season commencing at 7.30 on monday morning.

The car passed with no problems but disatster struck when the car hit a patch of iol dropped by a formula Ford car sending tony off the road. The car missed the barriers, but the water rad, underside of the car and our brand new front splitter were all damaged.

The team did a brilliant job of fixing the car to get it out for race one where we had to start at the very back of the grid.

Tony had a storming drive through the field and managed to grab 4th place, placing him 3rd on the grid for race 2.

More heartache in race 2, Tony damaged the car having been forced of the track in avoidance of a start line shunt involving the 2 beetles that were ahead on the grid. The car was damaged on the front passenger side corner, and the tyre was damaged.

The Race was stopped, and with Tony limping the car back to the pits the guys were able to sort the car out and borrow a wheel from CVW Racing so it could make the restart, albeit from the pitlane. Another great drive saw him finish 6th place and placing him 4th in the championship.

I have an update from Donnington at the weekend just past. I will update you with this shortly.
