We did 5 qualifying laps, then did 25 laps on a 1Km track. At some points in the day the rain did make an entrance but the slippery track just added to the fun and competitiveness.

Sin Cars at Silverstone

Sin Cars at Silverstone

Viper Performance continues to support German based car manufacturer Sin Cars with a supply deal for all of their silicone hoses.

The Sin Cars team are part of the 2014 British GT cup which made its way to Silverstone in August.

Team Sin Cars have spent the summer months manufacturing a new chassis for the Sin R1 Gt car. This has included extensive re modeling including changing the design and manufacturing techniques of the way the chassis is produced and will handle on circuit.

A new homologated ABS system and traction control has also been added to the list of driver assists. 
The new model will feature a new up rated LS7 engine that has been exclusively built for Team Sin Cars using high quality components.

We wish Sin Cars all the best in the GT cup and any future races.

Viper Performance proud to support Holeshot racing

Holeshot RacingViper Performance are proud to supply hoses, aluminium pipes, and fittings to Holeshot Racing.

Holeshot Racing has 26 years experience in all forms of motorcycle sport and we offer continued support through all events.

This weekend the team were at the Elvington Speed and Wheelie speed event, where they acceded 250mph on many runs. Cecil “Bubba” Myers and his friend Brock O Lee from the USA also joined the team.

Bubba managed some 180mph wheelies on the turbo ZX10R despite being his first time on a turbo bike. Brock flew through the 200+ barrier and ran 231mph, which was great for his first time doing a speed event considering he had not ridden a turbo bike before.

Holeshot racing bikeThe wheelie record was smashed again this year and was won by Egbert Von Popta at 199mph for the kilometer. Ted Brady achieved 197mph and 2nd on a Holeshot GSXR1000 turbo and last years winner Paddy O’Sullivan again on a Holeshot GSXR1000 turbo 3rd with 186mph.

We wish Holeshot racing the best for future events.
