Millville, NJ – A close quarters duel with BRT’s Martin Szwarc ended in disappointment as the StudioVRM Prelude’s H22 powerplant expired halfway into the Round 2 Feature Race at NJ Motorsports Park. Adding to the frustration was the fact that the East Series Championship contenders were enjoying their most competitive race weekends of the year and were gearing up for a fantastic fight before mechanical gremlins struck for the second time in two races.

This weekend BRT returned to their home course at NJMP Lightning. Last year, the car was solidly still in the development stage and lacked both functional aero and brakes.

In addition to the aero and brake changes, the team decided to wrap the two front wheels with new rubber to get as much out of the car as possible.

Willows, CA - In only the second race weekend for the new Honda Civic Type R, Team
Gogogear.com managed to find the top step of the podium and take the car’s maiden victory.
The weekend was not without trouble as the team worked hard to optimize the cooling package
on the car. The cooler temps compared to Round 1 at Las Vegas helped bring the car alive and
allowed both drivers, Reza Arsham and Gordon Pun to explore the limits of the car further. Not
all the sessions were flawless however, the team only managed a couple laps on Saturday due
to a radiator hose coming loose during a practice session. Despite a few small hiccups along
the way, the team got the car ready for qualifying on Sunday and managed their quickest lap of
the weekend thusfar, a 2 minute 3 second lap, not blistering fast, but respectable for the car in
it’s current state. The small field in ST meant that the lap was good enough for pole position,
with the competitors also having car troubles of their own.

Willows, CA (April 30, 2023) – Seong Kim, driver of the #35 GoGoGear BMW, secured a P4
finish in the Touring Car class at Thunderhill Raceway. Teammates Gary Sheehan and Fred

of the 2023 Hankook Tires United States Touring Car Championship at Thunderhill Raceway, after an
epic battle, moving the driving team of Lepper/McColligan into the Sportsman Class Points Lead.

Chris Evertsen was driving The Speed Traveler #37 BMW. When the green flag dropped, the
battle was fierce and fair. The lead changed hands many times throughout the race between
Evertsen and Tom Lepper in the #30 Konig Wheels GoGoGear Racing Honda. A last lap mistake
by Evertsen proved fatal as Lepper made the pass for the win. On this day, Evertsen will just
have to be happy with second place...

Las Vegas, NV – Being part of a big team has its advantages and that was proven at Las Vegas. Ben Penn
was scheduled to drive his BMW 328i but time ran out and the car was not ready for the race. With his
championship hopes in the balance, Penn was offered a ride in another team car, last year’s
championship winning Honda Civic. With only one practice session to learn the track and having to start
in the back, winning was a tall order. But Penn managed to do really well working his way up to the lead
before a broken wheel stud finished his race in the Konig Wheels Honda Civic. “It was great to be able to
at least score some points and have a shot at the championship. It is a long season and this is just round
1 so anything can happen, said Ben Penn.

Las Vegas, NV - After officially debuting the Honda Civic Type R at the SEMA show back in
October at the Konig Wheels Booth, Round 1 of the United States Touring Car Championship
was the first time the team was able to return to the famous Las Vegas, Nevada to showcase an
off-season’s worth of hard work preparing the car for competition. The GoGoGear.com team is
no stranger to developing new platforms for racing and knows the challenges of new builds. The
first session out showed the potential of the car, right out of the gate the car ran well and was
functioning properly. The water temperature was creeping up as the session progressed, but it
was to be expected with the ambient temperature rising as well. Other than having to watch the
temperature, the car was handling well and was performing as it should. The balance of the car
was very planted thanks to the JRZ suspension and the large APR wing at the back for the high
speed corners. In the tighter corners, the Progress rear sway bar helped to rotate the car and
the Acuity shifter meant that shifts were instant and effortless.

Las Vegas, NV (April 16, 2023) – Seong Kim piloted the GoGoGear #35 BMW to second place

Speedway for The Speed Traveler GoGo Gear Honda S2000, driven by Charlie Frank
and prepared by crew chief Raymond Brenneman.

An overall USTCC win in the Round 1 Feature Race was the last thing Roger Maeda expected after electrical problems put him out of qualifying and a post-Heat Race crash cracked the Prelude's front splitter.

Yet, through the perseverance of his crew, an aggressive heat race performance on Saturday, and a determined drive on Sunday, the StudioVRM.Racing team crossed the finish line first in both the Sportsman Class as well as the entire USTCC grid.

In the most well attended opening Mid Atlantic Road Racing Series event since 2013 the USTCC East coast drivers filled in to historic Summit Point Motorsports Park.

Codriver Reza Arsham would miss the weekend due to illness, which put Sheehan on double-duty for the double-header. Arsham/Sheehan came into the weekend just 15 points between the championship leading duo of Gary Trudeau/Dave Brown driving the Red Panther Racing Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8L. The pressure was on as two race wins was the likely scenario for Arsham/Sheehan to finish ahead in the points championship.

Gary Sheehan got back behind the wheel of the #31 GoGoGear Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8L for race 2 of the IndyCar weekend at Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca on September 11th.

The #52 Hyundai Genesis Coupe sponsored by Automotive Calibration Services and Gary’s Airbag Service performed well all weekend long.

Walnut Creek, CA – All weekend long Reto Baumann was running on old sets of the Hankook Motorsport’s tires, turning competitive laps. Team Red Panther Motorsport was looking forward to that race with a brand-new set of sticky tires mounted, the temperatures having dropped to a perfect level for the Garrett turbo powered #53 VW Jetta 2.0 GLI DSG. Everything was looking good and Reto Baumann, not having turned laps at Sonoma Raceway for about a year, was continuously improving his lap times. But it wasn’t to be…

San Ramon, CA – Finally Reto Baumann was able to get back in the driver seat. Practically the first time this year that he was able to wheel the #53 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 GLI powered by 034Motorsport. And Auto Club Speedway at Fontana, CA is a track he doesn’t have that much experience on. It provides a unique and super-fast challenge with using the NASCAR oval banking for T1 and T2 which are taken at around 145mph flat… Your brain surely tells you one thing, but your right foot must stay planted firmly to the bottom of the accelerator and you trust your car and the physics to make if through. You don’t have that on any of the other tracks in California.

San Ramon, CA – Following her United States Touring Car Championship (USTCC) debut in the Touring Car class last month at Sonoma Raceway, Marion Engelke drove to P3 at last weekend’s Round 3 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA in only her seventh wheel to wheel race (Still one more race to leave the Rookie status behind).

Thunderhill was a rough start to the season for Milburn Motorsports, who ended up coming up short due to issues with a newly installed shifter in their car.

I spoke with Sean early in the weekend about what changes they had made since Thunderhill, and how they planned to come out on top this weekend. Sean explained, “We made some setup adjustments to the car after round one, trying to figure out the most optimal way to get the car to rotate reliably. After going out in the car for practice and qualifying, I am confident that the changes we made have put us in the right direction."

Thus, Justin decided to make use of some additional track time through TrackMasters on Friday afternoon prepping for Round 2 of the 2022 United States Touring Car Championship.

San Ramon, CA – After what happened at Round 1 and Thunderhill Raceway, it was no wonder Reto Baumann was looking forward to Round 2 at Sonoma Raceway. But again, it wasn’t to be. Coming back from a vacation trip, he had a positive COVID infection and had to call up an Emergency Driver in the person of Gary Sheehan, who was happy to jump at the opportunity to drive the #53 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 GLI powered by 034Motorsport. Another unexpected turn for Reto this season.

San Ramon, CA – This was a long time coming: Marion Engelke’s first ever race in USTCC – United States Touring Car Championship (and fifth of her race career).
