I got the 4th place, I'm the only bug that use street tires. Most of them use soft compound. But the next week I'll have another race with new soft compound.......We'll kick their ass.

Hi Pratak, are you going to race your bug in Bangsaen Speed Festival next month? We will ship our cars there to race in a classic car race event. We are from Hong Kong and my car is a 1303 Beetle. Some other cars are Mini's, a Ford Cortina Mk 1 Lotus, Alfa Romeo, and a Ford Anglia, I guess.

I raced my bug challenging some Mini's in China in last few months.

We need more details! What year model is this based on?

Are they standard sized guards? What sizes wheels are you running?

By the way I like. I need to know more. Please tell

It is '73 1303 super beetle

The guards are stock with universal fibreglass flared wheel arches bolted on. I think they are 1.5" widened at the front and about 2" at the back.

Wheels are Porsche cookie cutters 15x6" on the front and 15x7" rear with Dunlop 03G tyres 195-50-15 front and 205-50-15 rear.

Engine - 92x74, customized cam from DRD in the US. Dual Dellorto 40 DRLA

SSC gear box with 4.375 final drive and Quaife LSD/T2 drive flanges (will change to 3.875 drive soon)

Suspensions are 944 all round (front VW Golf struts and rear 944 alu arms). 160lb front coilovers and 25.5mm 944 turbo torsion bars rear

Brakes also from 944NA with EBC yellow pads

Nice bugs. I would love to hear and see more of these great little race cars. Like, what are the events you are running in? (historic racing against the minis etc and what distance/laps etc are you running at). I am also interested in what type of cooling systems are you all running. Looks like the Beetle racing in your part of the world is alive and well.

Actually it's a shame that not many people are interested to race their bugs in Hong Kong. The race I participated was actually a race for Mini's only but I begged the organizer to let me join as there were no other bugs I could race against.

The circuit where I raced is in China. Each lap distance is 2.8km. The months I raced were almost the hottest time in the year. The oil shot up to 260F and the CHT was 400F. Sometimes I needed to slow down to avoid the CHT rising too high. The cooling of my bug is just the stock dog house plus an external oil cooler mounted in the front.

I think Pratak in Thailand is more lucky. There are more people racing their bugs.

Did you have to any mod's to get those wheels and tyres under the guards?
And are the guards standard?
Your wheel/tyre-guard combo look tough, I love it!

Hi Pratak,

My bug and also some other classic cars from Hong Kong (total 15 to 16, I think) are on the way to Bangkok. I will go to Bangsaen on 10 Nov. Do you know how many cars in total will race in the Euro Classic event? And what kind of cars? (I watched last year event in Youtube that there were many BMW E30's).

See you soon!
