CTSCC - Tonight at 9 on Speed...

Tune tonight at 9pm EST for the broadcast of last weekend's final race of the CTSCC season, which took place at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah. I haven't posted the results yet (although they're all over if you look) as APR was finally showing a strong hand from the start rather than struggling mid-pack.



The Mk6 took it's first poll position and has a hungry pack ready to take it down as soon as they can. Will the boys from Alabama be able to hold them off? Find out tonight...

Video Post: The Rollgolf

Proof that fabrication skills, free time and a few beers may not always prove the safest combination, but most certainly the most entertaining. My favorite part? Although the When Johnny comes marching home background music is nice, it has to be that this is all being done in what looks like a pretty nice, regular neighborhood, but not a cop or complaining resident is in sight. I need these kind of neighbors...

Edition 38 - 2010

My good buddy Scott aka Mr.Rallye sent over a link to some of his most recent travels over in the UK, including a massive set from the UK show, Edition 38.



As usual the Brits have it down when it comes to the older cars...Mk2 in particular. Building up a really nice Mk2-based car seems to be a bit of a lost art over here in the states, with even the Mk1 overtaking the number of truly notable Mk2 cars.



Not a huge fan of air-ride or 4-spoke wheels, but there are always exceptions.



Love this Easter-egg blue Golf, but love the BBS wheels even more.



Check out the full set of almost 300 photos over at Mr.Rallye's Flickr. He's got plenty more from Worthersee as well, so be prepared to spend a few minutes digging through the options!

CTSCC - APR Motorsport on pole position in ST

The final round of the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge begins at 2:45ET today, at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah. APR Motorsport has scored pole position in the ST class with the #91 Mk6 GTI. This is the first time that the Mk6 has been on pole, and the strong starting position should aid them in a strong finish in the ultra-competitive CTSCC. If they can end the season on a high note it should prove to be a great boost for 2011. Check it out at 2:45ET today, live on Grand-Am.com - live timing and scoring plus live audio.

We here at Der Wolfsburg Rennsport apologize for a slacking coverage of the CTSCC. Things have been extremely busy outside in the real world so the time to keep up has been missing from the schedule.

Save the 8v - Buy this race motor edition

This, is what, I'm talking about... A real-deal race motor, if only I had the $3k laying around.

This may not be a VW or Audi, but it's pretty hot

Big fun in Baltimore - ALMS joins Indy exactly one year from now

There was a big announcement from the American Le Mans Series yesterday, officially confirming the numerous rumors that had been circulating for the past few months: Yes, the ALMS is officially going to be making a stop in Charm City USA. The great Memorial Labor Day bash, part of the Indy Car weekend that the Baltimore Racing Development has been working on for the past few years, has just been put on must-attend status for us here at Der Wofsburg Rennsport.



Aside from the fact that there have been no Mid-Atlantic ALMS events since the very short liveed Cadillac Grand Prix of Washington DC, Baltimore is our home town and knowing those streets and the environment of downtown Baltimore, it will be a heck of an event for sure. The Baltimore Grand Prix, as it is officially known, will take place over the weekend of September 2nd through the 4th, and will feature the IZOD Indy cars as the main event for Sunday, backed up by the ALMS on Saturday.



The announcement was made official yesterday afternoon, fittingly, at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The streets to be used for the track are already under reconstruction and improvement, and based on what we have seen it should be an excellent layout, with great vantage points and a supurb backdrop, fitting the world class racing the ALMS is known for.

More as it develops, but if you're on the east coast you owe it to yourself to be in Baltimore next year for this event. We certainly will be.
