DW86 Testing a bit of speed!
With just 5 days before our first round of the season in a brand new car, we finally got to properly test the car. Of course it being a brand new very complicated build, it wasn’t long until we broke it. But the test session was very useful, and as the video shows, if it’s […]

Driftworks DWR32: Burnout Nomination

It still managed to fill our entire 12,000sq/ft facility with smoke for 3 hours though. The car he decided to use this time is our 620bhp […]
