On Sunday 3rd August 2008 Ultimate Street Car will host the second event in the Euro Sports Compact series at Santa Pod.

The Euro Sports Compact is for contemporary European cars with European bodies and same manufacturer engines, from 4 to 6 cylinders, with open tyre choice.

The first Euro Sports Compact shootout took place at the Performance, Tuning & Modified Show on 11th May 2008 at Santa Pod Raceway, read a full race report on the PTM Show site.

With our very own James Hodson winning the first Euro Sports Compact event earlier this year he's in an ideal position to consolidate his position leading the Euro Sports Compact championship! Another VW Pro regular, Paul Jordan is also in attendance in his 4WD Scirocco trying to make sure James doesn't have it all his own way!

Andy Nichols looks set to return in the mental MG, but there's plenty of other VW's to support, in addition to the two VWDRC entries you'll also see a host of GTi Festival regulars; Grant Parker's mental 4x4 Audi powered Mk1 Golf, Andy Waite's 20v Turbo Mk1 Golf, and Mark Gunns' lovely 10 second 4x4 Corrado!

TV show 5th Gear are sure it's gonna be exciting and are covering the event! So if you enjoyed Bug Jam and like to party USC will be right up your street, if you wanna see some of the quickest European cars in the country then show a bit of support for the VW badge (and especially James and Paul from the VWDRC!) and get over there!!

Well we're back from an absolutely mental weekend at Bug Jam 22, absolutely awesome racing this weekend and the top 8 in Sportsman qualifying were separated by only 0.1 seconds!

Here's the racing results anyway, well done guys!

Voted By the Racers and with so many cool people in the club this is always a hotly contested prize, with a number of especially cool things going on at Bug Jam this weekend was especially close! When all the votes were in and counted up the eventual winner was Abi Tether in the Sambasaurus, well done on the 16!

Congratulations to all the racers in all the classes. What a fab weekend!

Yes! That time is upon us. This weekend sees the highlight of the VWDRC's season, Bug Jam 22!

It's a massive weekend with 40 cars entered in the VW classes and support from a number of special guest, Street Eliminator, Junior Dragster, Super Modified and Sportsman ET.

There's a load of people to look out for, Justin Rivett's Herbielizer has been looking strong with some lovely looking wheelies in testing. Pauly Herbert returns to VW Pro now he's out of plaster. James Hodson has been on fire recently looking for more 10's from his street driven VW Golf! Jason Aldred is gunning for a European record in his Buggy.

Darryn Coleman returns to the track in his 485bhp (with 550ft.lb of Torque!) Subaru powered Beetle which will look awesome next to Andy Raw's V8 powered Beetle funny car. Alongside regulars like Mark Skeen, in his nitrous assisted Bay Window, Ian Huggan, complete with even more trick STi bits and Matt Attwood with his supercharger VW Alternate Engine has a few debutants too, specially good luck to everyone taking to the track for the first time.

A bumper entry of 19 in VW Sportsman sees championship contenders Spencer Tramm, Craig Allen and Russ Weir battle it out. With returns from Luke 'Major Lucky' Stevenson and Stuart 'Tick Tock' Hinds it's sure to be close! Keep your eyes on Abi Tether and Mark Malone in their Samba and Type-25 respectively for some biiiig burnout action!

All in all it's going to be a great weekend, there's always tickets on the gate so get yourself down to Santa Pod for the weekend and come join the fun!!

Sportsman leader Spencer Tramm helped me out with the points this week, hence they're done real quick, thanks Spencer.

Special congratulations to Shane Rae for his Eurodragster sponsored Perfect ET at this round :)

It's tight at the top of all the classes and it looks like the second half of the season is going to be a good one!

Sorry for the late notice but it's that time again! This weekend sees the VWDRC take to the track at the SPRC Summer Nationals at Santa Pod.

There's a whole range of classes on offer this weekend including all 3 of the VW classes, Pro Modified, Top Fuel, and a whole load more!

There's a number of people returning from absence this weekend. Abi Tether is back from a break in her 21 window Samba in VW Sportsman, Steve Parfitt returns to the track in his 'Quarter Pounder' car in VW Pro and Matt Attwood's got the super charger setup back on the Fasty in VW Alternate Engine. Add to that James Hodson's attempt to win back the European Front Wheel Drive record in his Golf and more action from Andy Raw's V8 Beetle funny car and it's a weekend not to miss!

In short, get yourself down to Santa Pod this weekend! Don't miss it.

Yes, just days after Big Bang the VWDRC is out racing again!

This weekend sees Shakespeare County Raceway's Springspeed 2008 event, at Shakespeare County Raceway near Stratford-upon-Avon.

Sadly due to the damage suffered by many of our cars last weekend we're a slightly depleted field this weekend but we still think it's gonna be a good one!

Come join us this weekend (3rd, 4th and 5th May 2008) at Shakespeare County Raceway near Stratford-upon-Avon for a great bank holiday weekend of racing.
