Thumbs Up and Full Throttle: A Day at the Track with Our Racing Family.
Here's a snapshot that pretty much sums up our day at the track: Sam's in the driver's seat, casually throwing up a thumbs-up, while Georgia's outside the car, doubling down with two thumbs in the air. We were back in action, racing alongside our 'you might as well call them family' crew at AASP, with a big shoutout to GMP Developments for their support.
This wasn't just any race—it was a multi-hour endurance showdown packed with works drivers and friends, all bringing their unique flair to the garage. Racing with these guys is always a blast, and we even had one of our drivers take the lead for a few laps—a feat anyone will tell you is no small task. All in all, it was an unforgettable day of fun, fierce competition, and a whole lot of team spirit.

Mathew Mandipira: Testing the Waters and Eyeing New Challenges for 2025.
Our 2023 Hot Hatch Champion, Mathew Mandipira, took to the track for a testing session at the BRSCC Driven Minds event at Silverstone. Known for his love of close, wheel-to-wheel racing, Mathew has his eye on the Mini 7s Championship—a series that offers the intense tactics he thrives on, like bump drafting, slipstreaming, and working with breakaway groups to clinch victories. With his skills and passion, who knows where we'll see him competing in 2025? Stay tuned!
Jason Brough's Side Quest: A Day of Racing and Friendship with Joel Arguelles and Mathew Mandipira.
In this snapshot, we see the legendary Jason Brough doing what he does best—racing hard and having a blast. But this time, he called in some backup from none other than Joel Arguelles and Mathew Mandipira, two fellow 750 MC Hot Hatch competitors. Without hesitation, they jumped in to support Jason on a little side quest: racing in the BRSCC ClubSport Trophy.
Mathew and Joel took on the role of pit crew, keeping Jason in the loop with live data through coms, tracking his performance against competitors and advising on the ever-changing track conditions. They were the perfect team, feeding Jason the info he needed to push when it mattered most.
All in all, it was an awesome experience, with the trio having a great time and proving that racing is always better with friends by your side.
Champions on a Budget: Mathew and Joel's Unstoppable Season.
What a season it's been! Mathew Mandipira and Joel Arguelles, our dynamic duo, have absolutely smashed it this year—racking up race wins, podiums, and even a few lap records along the way. Despite being the team with the tightest budget, they’ve pulled off some incredible results, and it all came together at the 750 Motor Club’s awards show, where we proudly took home the 1st and 2nd championship trophies. It just goes to show, passion and determination can outshine even the deepest pockets!
Engineering Legends: How Alex and Jason Kept the Championship Dream Alive.
In this photo, we've got the ever-cool Alex and Jason proudly holding more trophies as engineers in the 2023 season than all of our racing drivers combined managed in their first seasons. These two legends were the unsung heroes behind the scenes, saving the day—especially for Mathew Mandipira and Joel Arguelles—after incidents or minor mechanical hiccups threatened to knock them out of contention.
Thanks to Alex and Jason's quick thinking and expert repairs, neither car missed a session, ensuring no points were lost. With these light-hearted, charismatic masterminds on their side, Mathew and Joel stormed their way to a 1st and 2nd place finish in the Championship.

From Leak to Legend: How Teamwork Turned Mathew's Race Day Around.
In this photo, we catch Mathew Mandipira being interviewed by the 750 Motor Club’s own, discussing the dramatic turn of events from a recent race. Enter David Walsh, in his storm-white Clio 197, who wasted no time making his presence known. David stormed onto the scene with a pole position and a commanding performance in race 1, leaving Mathew and Joel in his dust. But the plot thickened post-race when a small gear-changing issue on Mathew’s car was traced to a sneaky little leak. No wonder he was lapping 2 seconds slower than his usual pace at Snetterton!
But the story doesn’t end there. The Racetrack Motorsport crew, along with championship rival Jason Brough, rolled up their sleeves to get Mathew’s car back into fighting shape. Parts were swapped from the spare race car to Mathew’s trusty #Car69, and with the team’s tireless efforts, he was back on the grid for races two and three. The result? Mathew took back-to-back wins in comfortable fashion.
In this moment, you see Mathew trying to keep his cool after that hard-fought race 2 win, fully aware that it was a total team effort that got him there.
Donington Drama: Joel and Mathew's Thrilling Season Opener Showdown.
In this snapshot, we see Joel Arguelles on the left and Mathew Mandipira on the right, gearing up for the season opener at Donington Park—a day full of success stories and a bit of mayhem. Joel, known for his skill in wet conditions, stormed through qualifying at his favorite circuit, securing a spot right at the top of the grid. Meanwhile, Mathew took a gamble by switching to wet tyres for qualifying, but it didn't pay off, leaving him starting further back.
This setup made for an exciting race one. Joel started strong up front, while Mathew had to fight his way through the pack. In the last couple of electrifying laps, Mathew navigated the field, clawing his way to second place. The real thrill came as Joel, using his championship-winning karting skills, defended against Mathew's side-by-side attempts, ultimately securing the race win.
Blyton Thrills: From Spins to Wins with Our Supporters.
Motorsport on a budget rolled on in style at Blyton Park, where we decided to give back to our amazing supporters and see who’s got the racing bug. Dave, Craig, and Tom jumped behind the wheel of our Clio 197 for a friendly head-to-head, pushing their limits and having a blast. The real thrill, though, was getting monstered around the circuit in Tom’s beastly C63—especially in the wet, where tank slappers were the name of the game as Tom floored it out of corners.
The day was a massive success, with Mathew Mandipira on hand to guide everyone to their best performance. The experience was so inspiring that Craig Turner—our ex-royal forces engineer and current team engineer—went out and snagged his own race car, ready to join us on the grid this season. A perfect day of fun, fast cars, and a bit of friendly competition!
Silverstone Thrills: Clio Arrive & Drive Fun with SK Motorsport.
Here’s a shot of two of our Clio race cars all set for an epic 'arrive & drive' at Silverstone, thanks to the awesome team at SK Motorsport.

Joel's Cadwell Park Showdown: Conquering the Mini Nürburgring.
Joel put on an absolute masterclass in Race 1 at Cadwell Park, clinching the team's only podium and race win of the weekend. It was a thrilling battle, with Joel going wheel-to-wheel against Jason Brough in the YGHP Renault Clio. The two drivers showcased some seriously clean, respectful racing, proving that intense competition and good sportsmanship can go hand in hand. All this action took place on the UK's very own mini 'Nürburgring,' making Joel's victory even sweeter.
Mathew's Masterclass: Chasing Down Victory with Speed and Style.
Here’s Mathew Mandipira in his element, chasing down 1st place in his Clio 197 with laser focus. After the team’s mandatory pit stop, Mathew was on a mission, pumping out fastest lap after fastest lap to close the gap. This drive quickly became one of his favorites—overtaking for position, using slipstream, and nailing those aero tactics made for a seriously exciting stint. It was all about precision, speed, and that relentless push to the front.
Race Driver Trackday: Preparing for the 2025 Season with Racetrack Motorsport and SK Motorsport.
We had an incredible day at the Bedford Autodrome for the Race Driver Trackday, hosted in partnership with SK Motorsport. It was a fantastic opportunity for drivers to try out a range of cars and get a feel for what they'll be competing in during the 2024 season.
Our Championship-winning Clio 197 was out on track, as well as the Clio 182, which secured third place in the Championship. Craig, our newest driver and a key part of the team, was there getting stuck in as he prepares for the season ahead.
A special shout-out to our mates at SK Motorsport, one of the headline sponsors in the Hot Hatch Championship, for their continued support. Shay, who’s already won races in the Clubsport Trophy, had his trusty EP3 Civic out on track, giving everyone a masterclass in how it’s done.
All in all, it was a brilliant learning experience for everyone involved.

Craig's Standout Performance: Mastering the Track in His Cooksport-Built Clio 197
Craig, our masterful engineer with an ever-keen eye for detail, lined up his Cooksport-built Clio 197 in the assembly area, ready to join the grid. As he rolled out with the rest of the field to take his starting position, the team cheered him on from the pitwall, eager to see his next move.
In what became one of his standout wheel-to-wheel performances, Craig expertly launched off the line, made bold moves both inside and out, and skillfully ducked into the slipstream for maximum effect in the braking zones. For his first year racing, Craig’s picking up the craft at an impressive pace.

Mathew and Joel's Clio 197s Shine in Unique Relay Race at 750 Motor Club Roadsports Series
Both Mathew's and Joel's championship Clio 197s were parked up coolly in the garage, ready for a unique shared relay race within the 750 Motor Club's Roadsports series. Unlike the usual driver change, this event saw the car and driver switch out in rotation, adding an exciting twist to the competition.
The atmosphere was electric, with many of Mathew's and Joel's old school friends turning up to cheer them on. It was a real spectacle, as it's not every day you see cars run in relay within the Roadsports series. A fantastic show of teamwork and support all around!

Joel put on a dominant performance in Motorsport UK's first indoor karting championship in partnership with Teamsport Karting, cruising to victory against some seriously tough competition. It wasn’t the first time the team tasted success either—Mathew had won the same event a few years back before Teamsport got involved.
Joel’s win has taken both drivers, and the team, to new heights, opening doors to even bigger competitions. Their success is a testament to all they’ve learned through competitive wheel-to-wheel karting, and it’s clear they've got the skills and experience to keep winning.
