TEG Sport helps Higgins break TT Race record !

The Subaru, both prepared and run by TEG Sport and driven by Mark Higgins, flew around the 37 miles long closed road in 19 minutes 37 seconds averaging 115.5 mph, and hitting a top speed of 162mph through the speed trap. The previous record was set over 21 years ago by Tony Pond in a Rover Vitesse on slick tyres. Pirelli provided the P Zero Trofeo tyres which made the record even more of an achievement as they are a road going legal track tyre.

The Subaru is a production US spec WRX Sti and TEG Sport were tasked to carry out several modifications that still enabled Subaru America to class the car as “production based”. This included roll cage, seats, belts, fire extinguishers etc. They also allowed re-programming of the standard ECU’s and up rate the dampers and brake pads for safety reasons. This made the attempt possible and safe at the top speeds required to break the record.

Stuart (Newby), Aaron (Parker) and Geoff (Hall) have been on the Isle of Man for 10 days overseeing the record attempt and running the car.

“We were asked in December if we were interested in taking on the challenge and work to be carried out and we jumped at the chance. The opportunity to work with Subaru America was too good an opportunity to miss. The original driver was to be David Higgins but as his commitments in America clashed it was a last minute change to Mark Higgins. We have worked with Mark before and were happy to be reunited for this world record attempt. Subaru America and Automotive events were great to work with, we did a lot of media work while we were out there and it opened our eyes to the amount of work involved pulling something like this off”. Stuart commented.

With the car now back at TEG Sport, it will be checked over and cleaned prior to it’s journey back to America where it will be used on PR days and shows.
