The basic ethos of the V.A.G. Trophy Championship is of close racing with good driving standards at the premier UK tracks, in a friendly and helpful environment.
The current committee comprises of Stewart Lines, & Nicki Lines.
We have always negotiated hard to reduce grid costs where possible and use money from sponsors as a balancing factor when calculating on entry fees.
We aim for all race events to be sociable, with barbecues featuring during the season and the now legendary ‘End of Season Bash’ and award ceremony, which is always an entertaining evening, with 100 + guests (and some VERY late nights!).
In summary, we will work hard to provide the best stage for our competitors to race, in a friendly, open and honest environment
