Welcome to the V.A.G. Trophy website. E-mail

Following a successful first season in 2009, where the V.A.G. Trophy seems to have captured the imaginations of enthusiasts old and new, we are proud to announce our calendar for 2010.   

 

We believe the format and calibre of the tracks to be amongst the best in the UK, with six rounds (Donington pending) at the following circuits :

 

  • Brands Hatch Grand Prix.
  • Castle Combe.
  • Cadwell Park (Long circuit).
  • Oulton Park International.
  • Silverstone Grand Prix.
  • Snetterton.

 

We have forged a close link with Motor Sport Vision Racing (MSVR) for this season, which opens up the opportunity to take part in much higher profile race meetings. We will share the paddock with, variously, Formula Palmer Audi, Britcar, GT Cup, Toyo Tires Racing Saloons, Lotus On Track Elise Trophy.

 

Overview.

 

The series caters for 2 wheel drive vehicles from VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda introduced before 2006. We saw a very varied grid in 2009 and this looks set to continue.

Class A

 

  • @300bhp per tonne.
  • Engine swaps are permitted.
  • Mk1 Seat Cupra Cup cars in Cup spec allowed at @250bhp per tonne due to their superior chassis modifications.
  • Multi point cages.
  • Perspex windows.
  • Front and rear wings.
  • Turbocharged engines may use any turbocharger, and must run with a 34mm air restrictor.

 

Class B

  • @220-230bhp per tonne.
  • Ideal home for cars no longer eligible for VW Cup due to age.
  • Multi point cages.
  • Perspex windows.
  • Only Standard fitment turbochargers permitted.

  • Highly competitive racing. .
  • Strict driving standards (non-contact !).
  • Excellent value for money.
  • Friendly and helpful environment in which to race.
