Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th April saw the SuperPro VAG Trophy begin its fourth season with rounds one and two at Donington Park.
For the third year running, this National B status championship for Volkswagen Audi Group cars enjoys continued support from polyurethane suspension products manufacturer SuperPro.
The 2012 championship, organised and administered by MSVR, features five race weekends, each of them double-headers and therefore hosting two rounds per meeting as follows:
*Rounds 1 & 2* April 28/29 - Donington Park
*Rounds 3 & 4* May 12/13 - Silverstone National
*Rounds 5 & 6* July 21 - Oulton Park
*Rounds 7 & 8* September - 15/16 Brands Hatch GP
*Rounds 9 & 10* October - 27/28 Snetterton 300
As in previous years, the championship is open to a range of VAG models using a floor pan that was in production before 2006.
The cars are then split into two classes, defined by a carefully structured power-to-weight ratio - for both turbocharged and non-turbocharged engines – to ensure close racing.
Eligible cars are:
VW Golf, Vento, Polo, Scirocco, Corrado, Passat, Beetle.
SEAT Leon, Ibiza
Skoda Octavia, Fabia
Audi 80, A3, A4
“We are delighted to be supporting the VAG Trophy for a third season”, said SuperPro General Manager Richard Fearn. “Our wide range of suspension products includes applications for the vast majority of VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda cars. Therefore, this is an ideal championship for us, as it highlights the performance benefits of our products and helps promote them to VAG car owners, trade outlets and race teams.”
