The Club's First Racer! - Part 2 - First Race!
Race Day… 31st March 2012
I woke up at 5am with Andy from Veysport at the door, and my car on the back of the trailer, ready for the journey to South Wales. Several fuel stops to fill the jerry cans were needed due to the fuel shortages! We got to Pembrey nice and early ready for the car to be scrutinised prior to qualifying. Getting Andy’s support was invaluable as he knows all the drills when it comes to racing - I’d have been lost otherwise even with the help of the other guys in the series. My family / girlfriend had also made the journey a couple of hours behind us and was great to have their support. My dad was an ex-bike racer and likes his motorsport!

The Club's First Racer! - Part 1 - Getting Set Up
This is the first in a series of articles by Mark Bennett who has finally scratched an itch and taken up racing in the VTEC Challenge series.
We hope you enjoy reading and following his progress!
After doing around 20 odd trackdays I’d started to get the itch to do some racing. I’ve got a huge passion for the S2000 and given my car was already track prepared, I started to look at what series I could do in the S2000 if I raced it. I also looked at Caterham series, and Mazda MX5, Civics etc, but in the end I chose to stick with the S2000. The main factor for me was that I just love the way it drives on track, and as a fan of the Best Motoring series and seeing what the car can do in race trim, it seemed like an obvious choice.
The car on track prior to race modification…
The series I decided on is called VTEC challenge, a nice series designed for only Honda VTEC cars! I contacted the organisers to get a feel for the series, and got a good feeling that it was a friendly series (as friendly as racing can get!) It looked like mine would be the only RWD car in the series…!

There will be an S2000 successor!
We have gleaned some information from a reliable Japanese source, who was talking to Minami San, the Creative Director of the new NSX Concept, at the Geneva motorshow.
Our source said "Mr Minami clearly said there will definitely be an S2000 successor one day. He also told me that he finally got permission of his wife topurchase the S2000 successor just before the [previous] project was stopped. He was so sad because the design proposal of that car looked so great.Let's all hope Honda will proceed from right where they've stopped at that time."
So what do you think the successor will be like? Could it be something like Autocar reported in 2010?
