2011 will see the start of a new Mk 2 Golf GTi Series that will cater for 8v and 16v cars in two classes. The Production GTi Series will be a one-make race series specifically designed to provide close, friendly and reasonably-priced racing for varying drivers from novice to seasoned veteran.
The club has been established as a result of several approaches from drivers looking for an alternative stage to race their Mk 2 Golfs that have previously been used in other championships.
The Series will run as a club with a voluntary committee comprising of experienced administrators and drivers to encourage maximum competitor input. The voluntary committee will benefit from the administrators experience of successfully running a number of championships for several years at club level.
Our ethos is safe and affordable racing. We are a non-profit making club run on behalf of the drivers. Any surpluses will be reinvested for the benefit of the drivers and the series. To insure safe and close racing we focus on enforcing strict driving standards and policing of technical regulations. We believe that these criteria are the back bone of a successful club level series.
To date we are expecting between 22-27 cars for the first race at Castle Combe. In association with our sponsors we plan to run various initiatives to insure the series receives maximum media coverage both in motorsport industry publications and more specific manufacturer based magazines.
Our racing calendar for 2011 is:
2011 Calendar:
Castle Combe • April 25th (Easter Monday)
Thruxton • June 11th/12th
Donington Park • July 23rd
Brands Hatch (Indy) • August 14th
Snetterton (300) • September 18th

Our aim is to achieve full grids for every race. That will mean between 30-40 cars on average,competing at each meet. We are keen to help drivers drive their costs down by arranging offers or discounts on products they may need to develop,maintain or enhance their race cars. As the committee all race, we understand the drivers needs and ultimately would like to help them race in an environment they feel welcome,trust and ultimately enjoy. We believe this is achievable on all levels.
