More secret testing

Posted by direct inject on October 30, 2008

Volkswagen trophy Truck information is very much looked for them days. This is another one of them view videos one can find on the net. We are not convinced that this is all “correct” - the audio seem to be highly edited… Just listen to the donw-shift sequence and the noice coming over. Sound more like a regular commercial use-vehicle shifting down with air support. We will see - the offical launch is at the 17th. of November in L.A.

The first clean Turbo-diesel vehicle ever raced in SCORE Trophy-Truck

Posted by direct inject on October 22, 2008

Making its debut in the race in the marquee SCORE Trophy-Truck division will be the new No. 81 Volkswagen Baja Race Touareg TDI, the first clean Turbo-diesel vehicle ever raced in SCORE Trophy-Truck. The new vehicle will be driven by the veteran team of Mark Miller, Cave Creek, Ariz./Ryan Arciero, Foothill Ranch, Calif. With seven career SCORE Trophy-Truck race wins between them, including three together, Miller/Arciero drew the 14th starting position for the race in the first Turbo-diesel to run in the featured SCORE racing division.


Check the video we found - VW Trophy Truck testing!!

Looking back!!
2007 Baja 500 was the test-run??

1.01 in Volkswagen Touagreg - I have a vague idea more people can pronounce that name after the Baja 1000 then now… ;-)
