Eibach and Bilstein offer £1000 prize at GTI International Show
The two greatest names in suspension have teamed up yet again to support the VAG scene’s favourite show; GTI International. Eibach and Bilstein have joined forces to sponsor and run the handling circuit at this year’s show – offering a tantalising £1000 prize purse to the three best drivers of the weekend.
Held at the Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground over the 23rd and 24th of June, GTI has grown to become one of the most important shows on the VAG scene – a fact that will be celebrated by one of the best sponsorship and show content line-ups ever seen at the event.
The Eibach/Bilstein handling area will feature a demanding course and the chance for every show-goer to pitch their driving and car preparations skills against the clock, in order to find the fastest three drivers over the weekend. The fastest time at the event will take home a £500 Bilstein voucher - towards anything they like from the range, with second and third place netting a £300 and £200 Eibach voucher respectively.
It’s not only guests that will be vying for top honours at the event. Both Eibach and Bilstein have also invited some of their best-known dealers to enter a ‘Tuner Challenge’. Here, some of the UK’s most finely-prepped cars will battle against each other for the honour of being the quickest professional outfit. One thing’s for sure, it’s going to be an impressive spectacle over the two days of the show.
There will also be a Golf GTI race car, completely decked out with a plethora of Eibach and Bilstein upgrades offering demo and passenger rides throughout the weekend, so even if you don’t fancy your own chances at posting a quick time, simply buckle up and enjoy the ride! Eibach and Bilstein technicians will also be on hand to offer fitment and set-up advice completely free of charge, so there’s no excuse for leaving the show without a thoroughly sorted chassis!
Commenting on the firm’s involvement at this year’s event, Eibach’s general manager (and tuned Corrado owner) Greg Kirby said, ‘We are delighted to be involved with ‘Inters’ for 2012. The show line up looks great, and alongside our technical partners at Revo and Milltek, we think it’s going to be a fantastic weekend. The prize purses should hopefully make things a little more interesting on our handling course, but ultimately, it’s all a bit of fun. We expect the Tuner Challenge to bring out a few sorted machines though, so make sure you drop by and get involved.’
