Sat 28th August and Lee Adams and Les Mutch win Scottish Championships in Graeme Wight Junior Racing vehicles.
Sunday,  Lee cements the driver and car combination with the outright record at Forestburn

Les Mutch is the 2010 Scottish Road car champion in the GWR Dax

This site is changing, it was to be about electric racing and the BRM, but that's on hold, so now it is about the electrifying racing that the GWR built cars can provide. The first one was the awesome Arrows V10 Predator, which gave a sound and a thrill well better than any modern F1 car, then came the bike engined Raptor which takes any bike engine and now has several records in it's first couple of outings. We're sticking a 2500cc KV6 Rover engine into the Imp, Kevin (shop steward) is rebuilding his Mallock after someone cut it in 2. A Skoal Bandit RAM turbo car is next on the blocks. It needs a rebuild after someone turned the boost gauge the wrong way, then crashed using the (very) loud pedal.

Raptor at Kames Oct 4th 2009
And still the outright records continue to fall to the New 1600cc Graeme Wight Racing Raptor at the hands of Lee Adams. Here's a video of the GWRacing Raptor taking a track record at the picturesque venue at Kames. The car is available to order now and will take any size of driver. 2T4T came along and filmed the action.
Watch the videos - Offboard practice   Here's the onboard of the first practice run

No body expected the pig flu, or that the bees would all die, or the recession was on its way (however, as usual all these things were known about!). So progress on the Electric Racing Vehicle project is a bit delayed, but not stalled. In the meantime there has been much activity towards the completion of the Raptor bike engined hill climb car, pictures to follow.., a new design for a road car, with just a bit of aero. The Predator V10 might make a couple of appearances, but other commitments have to come first. I like Worcestershire.

News - the V10 Predator is for sale - £100k Own a piece of history, a British National Top 12 winning hill climb car with a Formula 1 V10 engine (but lots lighter)!
We are looking to sell the Predator because of other commitments, see below.
This car has has only just started to show its form and there is a lot more to come from it.
There are new gears and dog rings designed for it to cure its last week link.
The latest set up on the car (Doune) is very good and its handling is just amazing, still not that good off the line but with a lower start gear and a little more mapping of the launch control and it will be there. You can see the videos below.
The engine has only done a few events since it had a no expense spared rebuild and would be good for a couple of years before needing looked at again.
The car comes with lots of spares, engine parts, wish bones and its own tooling (body and chassis) drawings and everything needed to run and look after it. I want to still be on hand to help with its development, its my baby. With a larger oil cooler and fuel tank it could do sprints as well. More details on request. Reason for sale gone all green.

Some old news.

The Predator wins at Doune. The first trophy was a third place at Doune several years earlier and I gave the glass trophy to McB (Richard), I thought more glasses would be easy, but that was not to be the case, and I am not giving this one away! Sept 2008 the win happened, a dry track in the first run off and basically it was Martin Groves or me that should have come home with 'my' record. 36.25 took the first run off win. Martin took the second run off at 36.01 I only managed a 36.5. We would both have been under the record and who knows who would have kept it, but after a poor start I opened the gearbox trap door (Wacky Racers) and laid a healthy stream of oil up the hill with the a hole punched through the carbon fiber gearbox, this and the cement dust put down to clean it up probably did not help Martin on his subsequent run. (Mutley type snigger). Anyway the car caught fire at the top of the hill.

The website is about me Graeme Wight, my dad's also called Graeme Wight, so I have the suffix 'Junior', so it's the Junior blog/website. Not the usual corporate end I must display now for the sponsors. This is my bit about before I knew them all, what some of them and I have achieved together (Martin Ogilvy and the Predator), and what we are going to achieve together. The website is done by Richard Dunn from 2T4T and we collaborate. The V10 F1 hill climb car is up for sale due to  to the for the Bee Electric four wheel drive hill climb project, see the Press release below. I also have the B.R.L. (big red lorry), an Imp, a KV6 engine, a V6 touring car engine that last bounced it's valves at Shelsley Walsh (here's the fume afterwards). I have a team (see team profiles coming soon), a wife, kids, cat and dog. Oh, and a pub! The Ploughmans in Peterculter - It's A Real Pub www.arealpub.co.uk ! :-) I have a history, and several records, I appeared at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, but they wouldn't let me do a run off, I just did enough to qualify! The website was started late October 2008, so there's plenty of updates to happen.
