The race series commenced in 2007 with great success, and was awarded Championship status by the Motor Sports Association (MSA) for the 2008 season.

The regulations have been developed to provide low cost competitive racing, with the intention of preventing those with large budgets from ruling the grid. Competitors should be able to prepare a race car for as little as £2500.
Regulations include:-

•    2 Race Classes – 8 and 16 valve
•    Standard engines with standard or control camshafts
•    Exhausts free from manifold back
•    Free spring and damper rates
•    Toyo control tyres

10 races (race + practice) will be hosted at UK’s premier circuits, including Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Donington, Outlon, Mallory, Cadwell Park and Snetterton. This MSA Championship is part of the 750 Motor Club calendar for 2008.

The response to the championship to-date has been phenomenal, we have been very encouraged by the numbers registering for the 2007 and 2008 seasons, the support shown by companies such as Toyo, Prolong oils, Newman Camshafts, Gaz Suspension, and more generally from motorsport enthusiasts and racers.

We have had press coverage in many motorsport and Volkswagen magazines, including Autosport, Motorsport News, Golf Plus, Full Throttle Magazine, and exhibited at the Autosport International Show 2007 and 2008 at the NEC in January. With Marcus Pye in his Autosport Magazine column announcing that the series was ‘One of the highlights of the show.’

Registered competitors have come from throughout the UK, and from a range of backgrounds, including seasoned racers, sprinters/ hillclimbers, trackday participants, and GTi enthusiasts. We feel it is important to race in a friendly and helpful atmosphere, making race days a social occasion. We are more than happy to offer advice on any aspect of racing, including getting an ARDS licence, preparing the car, and what to expect on race days.

Finally, we would welcome any feedback you have throughout the season, relating to any aspect of the Championship from the regulations through to organisation/ administration (contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
