TV Live 2011 Show Report

BTCC racers, track action, club cars and sunshine. For the Performance Vauxhall fan, Total Vauxhall Live sponsored by Courtenay Sport was as good as it gets.

Take a look at our Official Total Vauxhall Live 2011 gallery!

There was an intoxicating mix of track action, club displays and famous race drivers. All combined to create a unique atmosphere and a very special Vauxhall event.

BTCC racers James Nash and Tony Gilham took to the circuit in their Triple Eight BTCC Vectras, and they didn’t hold back either, hell no, at one point they were trading paint!

Just as epic was Ric Wood in his DTM Astra, the MD of CNC Heads races his V8-powered, 585 bhp monster in the Dutch Supercar Challenge and regularly humbles exotic Dodge Vipers and Moslers. And it was great to see it hooning around Castle Combe.

Headline show sponsors Courtenay Sport had a bustling stand, packed with an excellent range of performance Vauxhalls and plenty of knowledgeable chaps to help answer all your tuning queries.

One of our highlights of the show though was the astonishing 28 Lotus Carltons that were assembled by the Autobahnstormers to celebrate the car’s 21st birthday. The cars even took to the circuit for a special display lap, it was some sight we tell thee!

Auto Series sponsors Adrian Flux were also on hand, giving out free quotes and challenging people to take on their giant Scalextric and come say hello to the lovely Flux Babes. The Flux Babes tirelessly walked around the entire show and finally chose the VVOC as winners of the Adrian Flux Best Club Stand who were presented at the end of the day with a rather nice trophy.

Now standard Signums are rare enough, but modified ones are almost non-existent. So it was no surprise that Aaron Taylor’s Vauxhall Signum decked using Rayvern Hydraulics over a set of Image wheels, 8×16 at the front and 9×16 at the rears won the converted Power & Style Awards in association with Yokohama.

Other features included the awesome Westfield passenger rides in the Live Action Arena, the Official Partner Showcase & Retail Village featuring Meguiar’s, STP, Milltek, TSW and Maxxis.
