TTUNDRA Double Dose: 18/19th April 2015
“Licks will be shared, none will be spared.” That’s what the man on the mic said. Even for the ‘test and tune’ Saturday competition was stiffer than stiff with their second installment of the AWD Shootout at Camden. Competitor turnout reflected that a $3000.00 cash prize was more than enough incentive to get them to come out and try their hand at this dial-up competition thing.

AutoSport Drag & Winding #1 2015
AutoSport Racing launched its 2015 Drag and Wind(ing) series of Events on 1st March at the ARC Car Park. With a mixture of rain, high breeze and then the best Caribbean weather, competitors welcomed the return to the original concept of Drag… and then the winding segments. This again proved quite attractive to both driver and patrons alike, since the “race” aspect from the start always kept everyone glued to see who would arrive at the first turn the fastest.
