This particular VL is no stranger to our Channel, featuring many times in previous radial round and private track hires (with previous owner Jarred), the VL is now in the hot hands of new owner Nigel and he definitely had his hands full getting this no joke radial car down the track on our freshly prepped surface!

A big weekend starting with the Friday where the car was overpowering the track early on, to the point that it got so out of shape it provided us with possibly the best save of any car we have ever seen on the Channel!

The quick reaction of Nigel led to a pretty spectacular moment, you can watch and find out exactly how it panned out!

After that the car was packed away in the pits for the day before things really got out of hand, Nigel was back out on the Saturday with the track having more rubber down and a tonne more bite and really got to work in the VL.... On the final pass which was an absolute cracker he certainly found himself some new aero mods by the time he crossed the line! (You can go and watch and find out about that one also, not going to give it away!!).

The Boosted 388ci is an absolute weapon, and we've seen the car deep into the 7's before so it won't be long until Nigel is pushing that even further as the car has everything it needs to really push the current PB's!

Looking forward to more of the Shields Garage VL on the Channel very soon!

If you haven't seen the behind the scenes documentary on what went into the track for the upcoming days prior to this event go and have a look!

The prep video has been months in the making with alot of thought, effort and preparation behind the scenes (and we mean ALOT) to make this a truly unique and educational watch for anyone interested in learning just what it takes to turn a track from 'ok' to 'elite'!

Seeing some of the W.A Radial Cars finally get the track they've been dreaming of here at the Perth Motorplex in Western Australia was a huge deal, and it's definitely only just the beginning now that we've seen what is actually capable.

Check out the interviews with the experts Justin, Lorenzo and Brendan to get the ins and outs of the weekend and what it took to put this educational documentary together.
