Welcome to Wolf Racing
I've always been obsessed with vehicles, both unpowered and powered, from bicycles and skateboards to aircraft and trains. Since I could drive I got more into cars and racing and I've done as much as I could. I've watched everything from banger racing to drag racing, drifting, Le Mans, NASCAR and Formula 1. I've been a spectator, BTCC team fire marshal, accredited photographer, pit lane marshal, British GT grid guy and racing driver. I've also been into the car show scene, having owned Japanese classics, such as a Mitsubishi GTO twin turbo, Toyota MR2 race car and two highly modified Mazda RX7s. I've also owned a couple of Fords including an XR3i, XR2i and a Sierra Cosworth replica.
I am a gamer, content creator and photographer. My background is in software and I.T. and I'm also a supercar instructor. I have appeared in Racecar Engineering magazine in the main feature, a local newspaper, newsletters and a couple of other car magazines for racing and my cars.
I've wanted one of these rapid slicks and wings race cars for a long time, and I finally got one ! It needs some work and money to get it up to date and ready to race, but we'll get there.
Info
A proven ‘slicks and wings’ racing car powered by a 1000cc superbike engine and a standard 6 speed sequential gearbox. The car weighs 410kg including driver and with close to 200 bhp results in 0-60mph in just 3 seconds and on to 150mph, while revving to around 14000rpm.
Chassis
Mk6/7 Jedi. Motorsport UK-homologated tubular steel spaceframe chassis with removable GRP seven-part bodywork. Built-in front end crash structure, removable foot box protection, side impact bars and anti-intrusion plates. Fitted with stressed aluminium plates for extra rigidity. MIRA tested, Motorsport UK-certified ROPS.
Engine & Transmission
Any pre-2006 production motorcycle engine, although popular choices are Yamaha R1 (2004-2008), Suzuki GSX-R1000 (K5, K6, K7, K8) & Suzuki GSX-S1000 (2015-2018) with very limited modifications.
Suspension & Brakes
Fully adjustable unequal length wishbone suspension with double adjustable coil over Jedi Racing-spec dampers. Two-pot AP Racing (front) and Brembo (rear) calipers with solid grooved discs.
I raced in Formula Vee and racked up 8 tests and 10 races at Mallory Park, Donington Park, Brands Hatch, Oulton Park and Silverstone. Budget limitations meant I had to sell up.
I bought a Toyota MR2 mk2, and spent a year pulling it apart and converting it into a race car with help from friends and Rogue Motorsport. I did a few track days and I raced in the televised Powernights Series run by the BRSCC. Two races at Silverstone and two races at Donington Park. The car sustained damage at Donington Park and again on the road, resulting in me selling it.
Karting
I have completed hundreds of laps and many hours on indoor and outdoor circuits, in karts up to 70mph. All arrive and drive practice and casual races.
Rally School
I completed a day at a rally school where I got to drive on a variety of gravel and tarmac tracks. The cars included an "ex-works" Toyota rally car, a Sierra Cosworth and a 350bhp Group A Escort Cosworth
Saloon and Sports Car Training
I have done a couple of saloon car training courses with a race instructor onboard. I drove on track in a Subaru Impreza, VW Golf GTi, Ford Fiesta XR2i, MG ZR-160, Toyota MR2 mk2 and a Chevrolet Corvette
Track Days
I have done a couple of track days in my own cars at Donington Park and Silverstone.
Super cars
I have driven a Ferrari 360 and Lamborghini Gallardo at Silverstone. As a super car instructor I have driven and instructed at many circuits and airfields in Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 Turbo, Audi R8 V8 and V10, Aston Martin Vantage, Vanquish and DB9.
Other Vehicles
Other vehicles I have driven include American muscle cars, movie cars, classic cars, police cars, ambulance, fire engine, trains, articulated HGV, 7.5 ton HGV and 4x4 off road
Formula Ford Race Training
I completed two intensive race training programs in Formula Ford 1600 race cars. In each training programs, 50 laps were completed in 5 sessions and every lap was data logged and analysed.
Formula Ford Scholarship
I entered a yearly scholarship three times at Three Sisters race track, coming 14th out of 130+, just two places short of winning a drive around the circuit in a Formula 3 car and a chance for a fully funded season in Formula Ford 1600.
Mazda RX7's
After the Toyota MR2 I had a modified Mitsubishi GTO with Veilside bodykit as my daily car, after the gearbox failed and the replacement not feeling right, I sold it. I then got into Mazda RX7's. I spent countless time and money modifying and changing things, importing a lot of aftermarket parts from Japan, and going to Ireland to collect a rare carbon RE:Amemiya GT300 bodykit. My plan was a carbon RX7 GT300 Time Attack car. I had a house full of parts but couldn't find a garage I trusted to do all the work. The amount of work needed to complete the project had gone way out of my budget. Eventually I sold everything, but at least I broke even with what I had spent on RX7's
I have raced in the 750 Motor Club Sim Championships since the beginning. Some of the competitors are real race and championship winners. My sim rig is evolving but is based on a PC system with Virtual Reality, motion platforms and a race seat. My main race sims are Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione and iRacing.
Photography has been a huge part of my motorsport journey. It got me places I wouldn't normally go and gave me a reason to be standing in all weathers every weekend at UK race tracks. Over the years as my experience increased, my cameras and lenses were upgraded, eventually to the best professional kit Canon has to offer. Through photography I was able to meet lots of people in motorsport. I had a motorsport photography website that ranked highly on Google. With increasing circuit entry fees I turned to nature and wildlife photography.
