Volkswagen ran 2 cars as works entries in 1992-93. The guest car was No.1 with such people as Chris Goffey getting one off drives. The factory car was number 11 which was being driven by Jonny Milner as he brought the Shell sponsorship with him from the british rally championship the previous year. After VW decided to launch the VW Vento Championship in 1994. VW agreed to sell both the 2 Shell Polo's. However, They both got written off at Thruxton at the last round of 1993, so they built a new car from a spare shell and thats the red No. 43 you see in the pictures.
As to where they are all now. Some of them ran in the BRSCC SuperCoupe Series in 1995 - 1999. Most were sold for trackdays (including mine) and were broken up for there parts after being crashed etc. I believe some engines & gearbox's have seen new life in road cars judging by the forum entries.
The G40 race car was great fun to drive. It hopped & skipped it's way round corners & carried alot of corner speed purely because the brakes weren't up to the job to slow it down enough. In fact they were so much fun to drive. I bought a road car version as well.
Happy days!!!
