Not quite the outcome we were hoping for, but what a weekend! 🤩 The Euro Finals at Santa Pod Raceway certainly gave us plenty to smile about, some serious MPH, and lots of memories along the way 🏁

Thursday:
Things got off to a slightly dramatic start when Bill red-lit on the first run 😬 It was the first run with our new transmission set up and he red-lit with a 0.004, so pretty close! But he quickly bounced back and ran an impressive 199 MPH @ 7.54, followed by a 7.45 in Q2 and Q3 😍🙌

Friday:
With the positive vibes flowing after two strong runs on Thursday, Bill stepped it up again and smashed a 200 MPH @ 7.27 in Q4, hitting a brand-new PB in the process! 😮‍💨🔥

Unfortunately, it wasn't until Bill returned to the pits from Q5, that we encountered some exhaust valve damage which in turn, went into the turbo, so that curtailed our weekend 😫 However all were still in good spirits, as we overcame our transmission and bumping issues earlier on in the season and ran a new PB 🤭🥳

Saturday & Sunday:
With the BMF officially in the sick bay, we kept those positive vibes going throughout the rest of the weekend. We switched gears and got behind our Topspeed street eliminator gang as they battled through their final qualifying rounds👏 We also had the chance to meet so many new faces, chat with everyone stopping by the pits, and watch people check out the Bentley up close. It’s always amazing to see the reaction and enthusiasm from everyone who comes to see the car🥰

So, while it wasn't the outcome we wanted, there were still plenty of highs — a new PB, a 200 MPH pass, an incredible team, and an awesome weekend surrounded by the drag racing family❤️

Thank you to everyone who came to support us, stopped by the pits, and kept the vibes positive. This may be the end of our 2026 season with the BMF, but trust us when we say that we will be coming back better than ever for the 2027 season. There is still plenty to build on and we are already looking forward to next season, and starting to add more power into the Bentley! 💪🔥

Topspeed Automotive acquires US Automotive to form UK’s largest American parts distributor.

We are delighted to announce that Topspeed Automotive has entered into an agreement to purchase US Automotive, a premier supplier of high-quality parts for American vehicles.

US Automotive, based in Bedford, have been providing parts, advice and encouragement to enthusiasts and restorers over the last 28 years. Synonymous with American themed racing, they were the exclusive supplier of race cars and parts for the ASCAR series that raced on the Rockingham oval track near Corby. They also have a huge pedigree in supporting teams in historic American racing, particularly Mustangs, Falcons, Galaxies and Cobras and the brand has been a prominent supporter of racing at Santa Pod.

Topspeed Automotive, based in Wellingborough, has been trading for over 50 years under both its own and the CM Frost brand, specialising in American car and truck parts, both standard and speed performance, for applications ranging from hot-rod and muscle cars through to drag race car components. Over recent years, this has expanded into automotive chemicals, oils and freight to complement the original business and is wholly supported by its sister company, Topspeed LLC, based in Dallas, Texas.

With this acquisition, Topspeed Automotive becomes the largest provider of standard and performance parts in this marketplace and the synergies of these two businesses are obvious.

Customers of both companies can expect uninterrupted service throughout the transition. Over the coming months, we will fully integrate US Automotive’s offerings into our platform, but from today we will be striving to maintain the high level of support both businesses are known for, and we look forward to welcoming US Automotive’s customers to the new organisation.
