Silverstone Race Weekend Recap π
This weekend, Team Vannin Motorsport was at Silverstone running two Gen 1 VW TCRs across both the Club Sport and Club Enduro championships.
Car #88 experienced fuel tank issue starting the weekend, the team worked swiftly to resolve this. Ensuring ran effortlessly the rest of the weekend.
We also took on a new challenge, inheriting both Golfβs just two weeks ago along with some new customers. Despite the short preparation time, both cars successfully finished their races on the very first weekend under the Vannin Motorsport banner.
Car #10 had a coming together with another TCR during the race. Thankfully, there was no major damage. Thanks to the quick work of the Vannin Motorsport crew, repairs were completed rapidly, allowing the car to rejoin the race and finish the remainder of the event without any further issues.
Car #88
As Ricky famously put it, βIβm on fire!β π₯
After the cockpit began filling with smoke, the car was brought into the pits for investigation. The team quickly identified a small fire caused by excess fuel pick up from another car making its way onto the exhaust. Once the issue was resolved, the car was back on track and racing again.
A huge thank you to the drivers, customers, and team members for their hard work throughout the weekend. Despite a few challenges, it was another successful weekend of racing, teamwork, and determination.
Silverstone over and out!
