The 2026 Season – Donnington (Races 21 to 25)
Only one test session was booked for the weekend, Archie on the Thursday. Testing is always Thursday at Donnington, extending the “weekend” by a day; so, we arrive on the Wednesday and leave Sunday night. The highest speed of the truck, as confirmed by the stewards...
The 2026 Season – Snetterton (Races 16 to 20)
The mojo has returned! The first test session for Archie did not go well, but after that we had a little luck, for once! Its not exactly clear what happened but we suspect an injector failed and caused a pool of fuel to burn directly on top of the piston rather than...
The 2026 Season – Pembrey (Races 11 to 15)
Firstly, what happened at Thruxton? Archie's gearbox seized up at the workshop on the Friday morning, preventing loading and making that truck unusable. So much time was spent trying to rectify these faults, that it was not possible for the team to meet the final...
Stronger Together Project
This year at CTS Racing Team British Truck Racing Championship #40#41 we have decided to engage and support the "Stronger Together Project" fundraising group as our chosen charity to support for 2026. The Stronger Together Project is a community led fundraising group...
The 2026 Season – Brands Hatch (Races 1 to 5 and the new season opener)
So, to be frank, a disaster in many ways, for Team CTS. The old Volvo had been scrapped during the offseason, with the exception of some major components and some other minor bits and pieces. The team had acquired a new fabricated chassis / subframe some years ago. ...
The 2025 Season – Brands Hatch (Races 30 to 34 and the traditional fireworks).
The last weekend of the 7 meeting series (8 weekends if you include testing) for 2025, what a year! Storming through the pack for the first few meetings. 9 first places, 1 Second place, 2 broken windscreens, a “not placed”, a suspension failure and a gear box...
The 2025 Season – Le Mans (France) (Races 26 to 29).
For us, it is one of the highlights of the year, to race on the famous Le Mans circuit, especially as its an “all truck” weekend with huge crowds. This weekend also hosts rounds of the French national Truck Racing Series, along with the FIA European Truck Racing...
The 2025 Season – Snetterton (Norfolk) (Races 21 to 25).
So, the middle of the season, Frankie had started the season well, and a lot had been changed since Donnington; new brake callipers, brake discs, brake pads, wheel bearings and water jets along with a different turbo too. So, fingers crossed for the Iveco. Practise on...
The 2025 Season – Donington (East Midlands) (Races 16 to 20).
So, to Donington, perhaps the traditional home of British Truck Racing, maybe even European Truck Racing too, the summer “holiday”, the party event. Here it all started 41 years ago, November 1984 – I was there (aged 13 !). There may have been a small “club” event...
The 2025 Season – Thruxton (New Forest) (Races 11 to 15).
At Thruxton, due to noise restrictions, there is no testing on the Friday. Instead of leaving “HQ” on the Thursday, everything is put back a day. For once we were on the ball and loaded and ready before time, rather than just after. I even had time to sweep out...
The 2025 Season – Pembrey (South Wales) (Races 6 to 10), the “highs” and “lows” of racing (again)!
So, the team trooped down to South Wales. It is one of our longest drives of the season, with the exception of Le Mans, arriving Thursday afternoon to set up the Paddock for the three testing sessions on the Friday. To cut a long story short, Friday was not the best...
The 2025 Season “opener” – Brands Hatch (Races 1 to 5), the “highs” and “lows” of racing!
We knew Frankie would be fast, well at least we knew she would be “faster”, but what about the competition – would they have made improvements too; and would they be more or less effective than ours? In reality, we had “shaved” nearly 3 seconds a lap off last years’...
