Racing Tdi

My friend Lloyd Allard published some movies of in car footage of the last race at Snetterton on the VW Cup. This movies are a great proof of the power of tdi engines. In this case, you can see it side by side against R32 engines. Please visit is site ATMR and the in car movies page.

Here is the final standings at the british VW cup. 1 Philip HOUSE 236; 2 Shaun HOLLAMBY 176; Mark SMITH 176 ; 4 Lloyd ALLARD 142; Martyn CULLEY 142

The Volkswagen Racing Cup season sped to a superb end at Snetterton yesterday (Sunday), with reigning champion Philip House claiming his second title and series newcomer Paul Taylor making a dream debut to win both Norfolk rounds.
Third place was disputed by the Bora of Berkshire’s Joe Fulbrook and 17-year-old Thackeray’s Exeter Diesels Golf TDI - a little too closely fought over as it transpired, for the pair clashed at Coram and again out of Russell on the seventh lap. The resulting damage forced Fulbrook from the race and delayed Hertfordshire driver Thackeray sufficiently to hand third on a plate to the TDI Golf of Cheltenham’s Lloyd Allard.
Allard was only just over a second behind House at the line, with Thackeray recovering sufficiently to hang on to fourth, a further eight seconds behind.

Congratulations to Allard for the first position in the diesel cars.

The Volkswagen Racing Cup is all set for a thrilling finale next weekend at Snetterton, with reigning champion Philip House preparing himself to retake the championship crown. The championship’s leading diesel driver, Lloyd Allard - currently sixth in the standings - will face a big challenge for diesel-class honours at Snetterton in the shape of Hertfordshire’s Dan Thackeray, who will celebrate his 17th birthday with an outing at the wheel of the Exeter Diesels-backed Golf TDI Mk V usually driven by Rob Palmer. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles MD Peter Wyhinny will be in action in his Caddy TDI, and there will be an old-model Caddy van for Surrey’s Giles Lock.
