CSCC R-Werks Special Saloons & Modsports
Donington Park National 21st June 2026 race report

This was our first race of the season and we were hoping for a trouble free day…..however nothing ever goes to plan!

It was a scorching hot day and the sun was shinning as Tim & Dolly headed out for qualifying.

Initially everything was going to plan and Dolly felt on point and engine strong, having got the compulsory three laps in Tim started to push and then the problems started….suddenly the clutch started to slip….sh*t that’s not what we wanted to hear after the winter rebuild/re-design clutch issues was the last thing we expected!

Tim did another couple of laps to assess how bad the issue was and if it was manageable before cutting short his qualy and returning to the paddock.

Dolly was checked over and with nothing obvious, as in no oil leak or anything, and the way the symptoms came on it left only one culprit and that was that as everything heated up and expanded the new concentric clutch slave clearly didn’t have quite enough clearance to the pressure plate and started to hold clutch on ever so slightly…..not a lot we can do about that in the paddock was Tim’s initial thoughts….

But then as we all tucked in to our lunch Tim had a brainwave…..while we couldn’t do anything about the actual position of the new clutch slave without removing the gearbox we could move the whole gearbox instead! Tim checked his spares box and dug out some large M12 washers…..”what about if we unbolt the gearbox and put a washer in between the bellhousing and block at all the bolting points?’ he said to the team, it will have the same effect as machining 2mm off of the concentric slave mounting plate!

The team set to work but were against the clock as we were first race after lunch and sadly we finished literally as the cars left assembly.

But with everything done and bolted back up it was a case of sit and wait for race 2 to see if the ‘Paddock fix’ had worked…..Tim was quietly confident….

Fast forward a few hours and off Tim and Dolly headed to assembly….starting 20th and last it was time to have some fun!

As the lights went out we were off…..we’ll let the in-car footage of race 2 tell the rest of the story! https://youtu.be/durbGxPmcI4?is=jB8WENmaTY__G_2B

As always a massive thanks goes out to all our fans, followers and especially our sponsors.

Gas N Gears Ltd.for the amazing 2.0l 16v engine and 6-sp dog gearbox. The bottom end of the engine is now in it’s 4th season and the knife edged crank still revs to 8k plus with no issues with the correct clearances and lubrication system 💪🏻

A.K. Bryan Mould Engineers for all the bespoke laser cut profiles and formed sheet metal parts….these are parts not many would spot on Dolly but without them she wouldn’t be what she is.

Race Dyno Tuning for the amazing attention to detail with the mapping, squeezing every ounce of power out whilst still airing on the safe side for durability.

Alloy Racing Fabrications for all the bespoke alloy parts on Dolly, from the custom radiator at the front to the custom foam filled fuel cell at the back and everything in between. Of special mention has got to be the oil/air separator, I went to Jim with a concept and he improved on it and gave us what we run today….which is a massive part towards increasing engine durability and reliability.

The TeaMoll Motorsport Team will be making the short journey down to our local circuit Donington Park this Sunday for the CSCC R-Werks Special Saloons & Modsports races.

With Tim having had to have surgery on his knee earlier in the year this will be he and Dolly’s first outing of the year.

If you’ve been following the updates you will know that there have been a few updates over the long break to improve reliability and the Team are as ready as they possibly can be, we had hope to showcase our new composite inlet manifold design, but unfortunately haven’t had the time to do the necessary back to back testing and mapping……so this will be going on after this weekends racing.

For those at a loose end this Father’s Day weekend we have attached the timetable for Sunday’s racing. As always live timing and results will be available on TSL Timing along with live trackside commentary

So with our first race of the 2026 season at Donington Park next Sunday we have been busy getting Dolly ready.

The new AP racing concentric clutch slave was fitted to the Gas n Gears built dog box along with new braided lines from HEL and the gearbox refitted and clutch bled.

Inlet manifold and ITBs have been refitted, we had hoped to be able to get our new composite manifold fitted and mapping tweaked, but unfortunately time has not been on our side….so looks like this will have to be done after Donington.

We then turned our attention to the alternator, which stopped charging during the last race meeting of 2025. We had hoped that it may just be a loose wire but unfortunately the regulator is knackered, so the alternator was removed and sent to Brise for repair, luckily we have a spare that has been fitted while the other one is in for repair. We then gave the underside of Dolly a good clean, fitted the freshly serviced extinguisher, fitted a new rain light and did a full spanner check.

Tim and Dolly have unfinished business at Donington as the last three visits have certainly not gone to plan…..

Weather is looking dry, so if you are local and at a loose end why not pop down!

As always a massive shout out to all our sponsors and supporters.

What's been going on in TeaMoll HQ this evening ...

So with the racing clutch back from Helix and the lightened flywheel back from our Sponsors Gas N Gears with a further 0.8mm material removed to allow for the new concentric slave setup, we set about getting the clutch and flywheel mounted, torqued and marked up in preparations for the new braided concentric feed lines being delivered any day now!
It was a warm one in there today, and I had to go topless so sorry if you have just eaten!!!
With some spare time until the gearbox can be fitted, the trailer has started to be serviced and it looks like we could be on the front foot for a change.
Tim will be fitting the velocity stacks back onto Dolly over the next day or two, then we can both get her serviced and be ready for Donny on fathers day!!!

Much love, Gonk and Tim TeaMoll Motorsport .

With the 2026 season already underway, we have been a bit quiet……don’t take this as a lack of activity however!

At the end of last year Dolly and Tim’s other projects were moved to the new TeaMoll Motorsport HQ and first job was to identify the cause of the slipping clutch Tim experienced during the last round of the 2025 CSCC Special Saloons and Modsports season at Castle Combe.

The gearbox was removed to find a failed clutch release bearing that in turn had damaged the guide tube and seal beneath it causing gear oil to leak on to the clutch.

Tim decided he wasn’t happy with the standard release bearing setup so set about sourcing parts to convert to a AP Racing concentric clutch slave to eliminate the problem moving forwards. While the box was out it was shipped down to our sponsor Gas N Gears Ltd.for a strip and check…..lucky we did as Mart found that the plate diff pre load was well below optimal….so this was sorted along with any other parts that required servicing and it is now ready for refitting.

While the box was out Tim started thinking about other improvements and thanks to the Xmas present he never knew he needed from Stella of a 3D printer……he came up with a new carbon composite intake manifold design that we believe is better than anything else on the market currently from a flow perspective, not to mention the weight and heat transfer reductions that should all lead to improved cylinder filling and performance. Paired with his new design he has also designed the TeaMoll Motorsport range of composite velocity stacks which use an exponential curve internal geometry to maximise airflow.

Watch this space over the coming weeks for back to back Dyno test results.

The velocity stacks are already available for anyone running DCOE type ITBs and can be supplied to suit any diameter ITBs and length to suit your requirements. PM us for further details 🏁

Due to Tim having to have surgery on his other knee earlier this year, the first outing for Tim and Dolly will be Donington Park on the weekend of 21st June and he will be looking to capitalise on the new parts fitted over the winter 💪🏻🏁

Another piece of the puzzle completed by Gas N Gears Ltd.

Sometimes, you get asked to do things you don’t like but when needs must you make an exception.
This CG flywheel for Teamoll motorsport is now sporting a new clutch plate which is thicker than the original.
Because of this the clutch fingers are laying too far towards the clutch.
It doesn’t sound much but 0.8mm has to be removed from the face. Usually I’d pop this in the lathe but I know from experience that even with a good insert and a relatively slow speed there’d be vibrations or issues with hot spots so I setup the rotary table and milled it off.

It’s now ready for the new AP racing hydraulic release bearing setup ( adaptor plate from Aantepastebak.nl) 👍🏻

Something a bit different for the day today…..Tim is out testing in this…

29/09/2025

So it’s been a while since our last post as honestly didn’t have time to post an update …..so long post warning!

After the failure we experienced at the Oulton Park Gold Cup, Tim pulled the engine and stripped it to assess the damage……and it was extensive! Root cause is suspectes to be a dropped valve, exactly what caused that is unknown, although there was evidence on other pistons of valves ‘kissing’ pistons, so piston to valve contact is likely cause.

Head was stripped and assessed and was sent off to Alloy Racing Fabrications to be welded prior to going to EXON race engines to have new seats put in.

Meanwhile block was stripped and taken to Sheffield Engine Services to have the damaged bore lined. Luckily we had a good spare piston and the rod was undamaged. Because of the evidence of piston/valve contact we took opportunity to sink the valve pockets an extra mm to give some extra clearance.

Once everything was machined Tim then set about getting the engine rebuilt and back in Dolly…..he had a deadline to make as he was determined to do the last round of the season with the CSCC Special Saloons and Modsports at Castle Combe.

With the help of R-Werks the engine was back in and running the weekend before Combe and Race Dyno Tuning were able to get it ran in on the Dyno and mapped ready for the weekend.

With Tim heading down to Combe via Heathrow to pick up his sister and family on the Friday it left the duty of picking Dolly up and bringing her down to Combe with Dave Cleland….cheers Daddy Dave!

So Dolly flew through scrutineering Sunday morning and was ready to go…..or was she…..battery was flat so connected up jump pack to fire her up and headed out, however after just 2 laps Tim got a low battery warning on the dash….he coaxed her round to make sure he got the compulsory 3 laps and then parked her up. Despite the early bath we qualified 7th overall and 3rd in class.

Tim checked all wiring and found that alternator was dead…..it was decided to strap a second battery in and charge both up and along with the jump pack connected hope that it would last the race distance.

Race 1 and after a decent start Tim was up to 4th overall and 1st in class, but the race was pretty much a non event as after 2 racing laps safety car was deployed and the race finished behind it…..but a win is a win!

Race 2 saw Tim line up 3rd and despite a few cars changing places this is where he finished with a 3rd overall and 1st in class again.

A great end to a long stressful few weeks!
