East Sussex, Performance car garage, Auto Upgrades, have committed two of its demonstration cars to taking part in the Fueltopia Barrel Sprint series being held at Santa Pod on August 21st 2011

A Nissan GTR and Honda Civic will be taking part in the new race series that see’s drives go head-to-head in a race that’s a mix of drag and drift racing. Each driver must navigate 360 degrees around three barrels over a 100m sprint. The FBS is more about driver skill than all-out power and it’s also a great place for companies such as Auto Upgrades to showcase their mechanical talents and skills in preparing cars for track and street use.

Auto Upgrades, Nathan Clear, said “I think it’s another excellent idea from the guys at Fueltopia and a privilege to be invited to take part.” The East Sussex, garage owner has been into cars since he was a young boy and in 2002 opened his own workshop which carries out all aspects of mechanical service and repair to Japanese & German performance cars.

The Fueltopia Barrel Sprint series is open to all cars that are road legal and to those drivers with a full UK driving licence. If you fancy testing your car handling skill then you can apply for more information at http://www.fueltopia.co.uk or arrive at Santa Pod on Aug 21st. £10 entry and £25 driver sign-on for a day of high-octane adventure.
