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!!
