Many of us discuss what a true ‘drivers’ car should be, most say that 3 pedals and driver input via the gear shifter is an absolute must. Some say that the transmission doesn’t make a difference and that automatic gearboxes such as the DSG (direct-shift gearbox) will offer a similar driving experience, if not better. Let’s [...]
The Most Luxurious Off-Road Vehicle? Lately, the Porsche Cayenne 955/957 has been gaining serious popularity online, with overland builds frequently appearing across Instagram, YouTube, and other social platforms. And for good reason. Read [...]
Round 5 of the 750MC RoadSports Championship was way back in August at Silverstone. That was a disaster for me. The previous round of the Club Enduro Championship was at Oulton last month, and I managed to win in tricky conditions, confirming my defense of the Class A championship. Ryan and Dylan were not [...]
We commonly see failed High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) on modern Common Rail Diesel Engines resulting in a tangled web of issues, expensive repairs and headaches. The most common symptons are poor startup or a lack of power (especially under hard acceleration).99% of the time HPFP failure is most likely due to internal wear or metal-on-metal [...]
This is the story of one customer’s idea to travel the entire length of the UK on just one tank of fuel!If you’re thinking this was attempted by some super-efficient 1.2 TDI Audi A2 with an oversized fuel tank, you’d be very wrong…The customer wanted to see if this was possible in his daily-driven BMW [...]
After the disaster of Silverstone for the 750MC RoadSports, we had a few weeks to gather ourselves ready for the Club Enduro race at Oulton Park. This time we would have both cars. All the details and dates for future races we are entering can be found on the Darkside Motorsport Page. Below is the [...]
This weekend is the first time the 750MC RoadSports race is not on the same weekend as the Club Enduro Championship until the last race of the season at Donington. ClubEnduro will be on its own at Oulton in mid-September. Last time out at Snetterton, we had a bit of a nightmare, that resulted in [...]
Last time out at Anglesey for Round 3 of the 750MC RoadSports and Club Enduro Championships yielded mixed results again, but at least by the Sunday we were looking good pace and reliability wise, even if the results didn't show for Ryan and Dylan. Round 4 would be the last time Roadsports and ClubEnduro would [...]

Silverstone was a frustrating experience for me and Dylan, with the TCRs being much faster in a straight line, we were on the back foot all weekend. We salvaged what we could, and luckily still led both championships. Round 3 took us to Anglesey, on the tight and twisty Coastal Circuit, which should suit [...]
We had a mixed bag at Croft last time out, you can read all about it in the previous blog, but Ryan and Dylan didn't finish due to the KOTOUČ Sequential Gearbox causing some serious issues (more on that at a later date). Round 2 took us to Silverstone on the GP layout. With very [...]
Recently we have experimented with Thermal Imaging technology, in particular the TOPDON TC002C Infrared Camera, a specialised thermal imaging camera compatible with iOS Type-C devices such as the iPhone 15 & 16 models. But how does this revolutionize the Motorsport / Automotive industry? Motorsport To achieve record breaking lap times, temperature has a big role to play. [...]
The 2025 season meant little change for us in terms of cars, with just some minor tweaks, with Ryan and Dylan using the KOTOUČ Sequential Gearbox and also sorting a 2nd set of Öhlins Suspension from Mick Gardner Racing. We would be racing in the 750MC RoadSports, which for this season is [...]
Wheel Spacers Wheel spacers are unquestionably one of the simplest and cheapest modifications to enhance your vehicle's appearance. By reducing the offset of your wheels and spacing them further from the centre of the car, spacers can minimise arch gaps and give your vehicle a more aggressive look. Not just for looks. Wheel spacers are also perfect for [...]
With just over a month since our fantastic 1-2 finish at Oulton Park, it was another RoadSports and Club Enduro double header at Donington on the GP Circuit. A 45 Minute Race on Saturday, then a 2hr race on Sunday. It would be the final round for both races this year. I was alone for the [...]
After a great result at Silverstone, we had a 5 week break before we out again, this time for a 100 minute Club Enduro Championship race on Saturday at Oulton Park. I would be driving the #1 TT on my own, with Ryan sharing the #6 TT with Dylan again. We'd secured a P1 for the [...]
After the disaster at Cadwell, it was time for another double header at Silverstone on the International Circuit. We would be doing a 45 Minute 750MC RoadSports Race on Saturday, then a 2hr Club Enduro Championship race on Sunday. I was alone for the full weekend, Ryan was Solo for Roadsports, with Michael joining us solo [...]
After a long day at Oulton for TimeAttack, we had to pack up and drive across to Cadwell. Straight there is around 3 hours, but we had to drop the Ibiza and RS3 off at HQ, so that added another 30 minutes or so. Paul, Tomas and Tye had taken the Truck in the afternoon, [...]
