With the reopening of the state of California earlier this year in June and after the 2020 event was cancelled, the 2021 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach was back on the calendar and took place 24-26th September 2021.  The Long Beach Grand Prix was the last race of the year and where Alex Palou clinched the championship .

We were pleased to be exhibiting again at this year's Long Beach Grand Prix in the Life Styles Expo - Booth 1115.  On display was 2 Zeros, both Cars on display were Mazda powered cars with a variety of upgrades including ATR Throttle bodies and upgraded front suspension and brakes.  

Thank you to everyone who visited our stand over the 2 days of the event, it was great to meet so many people over the weekend and see existing customers too.  The Newest GBS customer Aaron travelled to the event to help out on the stand and finalize his car's specification.

It’s been a busy few months with Zero Self Build Kit collections and several exports to the USA. Including the NEW USA Generation2 Zero demonstrator that we sent to Paul our USA representative, the Zero Kit was collected last month, and meant to be seen for the first time on its build trolley at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach but unfortunately due to several Covid related shipment delays it finally arrived but was just too late to make the event.

But we are pleased that it has now arrived and is safely with Paul for the build to begin, we will share more photos with this as the build progresses.
Please see link below to more details on the USA Self Build or contact us and we will answer all your questions.

GBS Zero Motul Edition livery competition winners announced!....

A_GBS Competition Entries Montage.jpg
A_GBS Zero Motul Edition Logo FINAL.jpg

With the judging completed in the livery design competition for the prototype Motul-Edition GBS Zero, Motul, Witham Motorsport and Great British Sportscars are delighted to announce the overall winning design and also the winning entry for the under 16 age group.
The winning design for the car came from Bedfordshire’s Martin Lines, whose livery concept was chosen from a number of excellent entries by the panel, which was made up of Motul, Witham Motorsport and GBS Zero Directors in what was a generally very high standard of entry. Martin’s design was selected for its ingenious use of all of the GBS Zero and Motul creative branding areas.

 Martin’s winning design will be revealed on the prototype Motul-Edition GBS Zero, when it is unveiled at The Classic at Silverstone at the end of July, for which Motul is the lubricant partner. Martin and family will be Motul guests at the event for the public reveal of the car and Martin’s prize also includes a behind-the-scenes tour of the GBS factory at Ollerton in Nottinghamshire. The design will remain secret until the event.

 The prize for the Under 16 category goes to Kent’s Kaira Milburn, who is 10. Kaira submitted an amazingly colourful design, as can be seen here, below left. Kaira’s concept impressed many of the judging panel with its current relevancy for the UK as well as its bold use of colour. Kaira will also win family tickets for The Classic at Silverstone, as well as a selection of Motul merchandise.

 “We had some great entries for the competition and were so impressed by the standard that it was very hard to decide which design to choose - so I would like to hugely thank everyone who took the time and the trouble to enter,” enthuses Motul UK & Ireland Area Manager, Callum Goodland.  

 Nigel Bottom, MD of Witham Motorsport added, “It was a really close-run thing, as the car would have looked really good in various of the livery ideas that were submitted, but I think when people see the actual design we chose, when it is unveiled at Silverstone in July, they will see why it was a winning livery.”

Motul-Edition GBS Zero

The Motul-Edition GBS Zero, features a host of Motul-inspired design features unique to this partnership and is currently being prepared for painting in the special Motul Build Bay in the GBS factory, in Nottinghamshire. In the meanwhile, work continues on the car’s 2.5 litre Ford Duratec engine, which is being built by renowned motorsport engine builders and suppliers of the engines for the British FIA Formula 4 championship - for which Motul is the specified lubricant - Neil Brown Engineering.

From its machining of metal billets, through all of the necessary turning, drilling and assembly processes to the first fill of all lubricants, as the final part of the car’s journey to finished automobile, Motul products are being used throughout. There will be regular updates on the build, and a short film on the car coming together, illustrating Motul’s “Cast, Drilled, Filled” concept,  will air in August.

 As Motul UK Distributors, Witham Motorsport are the driving force behind the project. As Nigel Bottom explains, “ The impressive engineering talent of GBS meant there was a great story to be told about building a car from start to finish uniquely using the whole array of lubricants from Motul. The car project is a logical extension of this concept of Cast, Drilled, Filled and so we have embarked on what is a truly novel venture for a lubricant brand.”

The Classic at Silverstone runs from the 30th of July to 1st August and is set to be a memorable weekend for Motul fans as well as for lovers of historic motorsport - and classic motoring in general - across the UK.

Saturday 26th June

We are excited to share with you all that we have now confirmed the new date for the first 2021 GBS Cars & Coffee event, which will be taking place on Saturday 26th June at GBS from 10am-2pm.

As many of you know everyone at GBS has a strong passion for cars and anything to do with motorsport and we love our Cars & Coffee events and Track Days etc. But sadly, last year (2020) and earlier this year we have not been able to host and exhibit at any events due to Covid-19.

But as the lockdown restrictions are now easing and we are slowly getting back to normality we felt now is the right time to host our popular Cars & Coffee event at GBS.

The GBS Cars & Coffee event at GBS was created in 2016 and has since been a massive success & we have continued to hold the event again for several years. Our Cars & Coffee ( & Cake) events often see our car park overflowing with many different sports cars, the event is also becoming renowned for its home made cakes!
Its an event that we have created that gives the chance for you all to have a ride out in your sports cars / meeting point and enjoy a coffee (plus biscuits/ cake of course) and chat about your cars, all are welcome to join us in any car (modern or classic including bikes).

Help us make Saturday 26th June the best GBS Cars & Coffee event yet & raise more money for two great charities…. We will be collecting for the Notts & Lincs Air Ambulance & Cancer Research.

On the day the Kit Spares shop and showroom ( www.kitspares.co.uk ) will be open 10am -1pm, with social distancing and restriction on numbers entering at one time. Please feel free to call and pre order ready to collect on the day.

We’ll be adhering to the latest Covid-19 guidelines, and will do all we can to make sure the event can go ahead safely. All the GBS team look forward to seeing you all.

NEW PARTNERSHIP PROJECT WITH MOTUL..... The Zero Motul-Edition.

A_GBS Zero Motul Edition Logo FINAL.jpg

We are excited to announce our new partnership project with Motul and Motul UK Distributors Witham Motorsport. Motul and the Witham Motorsport have supplied us with their products for several years and we are excited to be working with them on this new  project, which will be revealed end of July at the Silverstone Classic Show who Motul are also in partnership with. 

The Zero is hand built bespoke to your individual specification and this Zero Motul Edition is certainly an example of that, the car that has been spec’d out between ourselves and Motul has some very nice unique Motul Design features that we can’t wait to share with you.   

The Zero Motul Edition will be powered by a Ford Duratec engine, specially prepared by Neil Brown Engineering, the company that provides the motive power for the UK FIA Formula 4 championship  - a series where Motul is proud to be the lubricant partner, providing the spec engine oil for all competitors.

We believe this is going to be the first car in the world to be made and run on lubricants from the same manufacturer, in this case Motul. From cutting oils to hydraulic fluids used in the manufacturing process to make all the parts, to fluids used throughout the car, including: engine oil, gearbox oil, brake fluid, engine coolant, greases and even Witham screenwash, this will be made to a performance standard with bespoke specifications.

Also Launching immediately is a competition where enthusiasts can design the livery for this prototype car and subsequent production examples. From today, through to the end of May, anyone in the UK can download the car’s blueprint drawings as part of an official entry form on a dedicated competition webpage, which they can then design up and submit, for the chance to be part of the official unveiling as Motul’s guests at the Silverstone Classic, seeing their livery design becoming reality.

This somewhat special opportunity will see the winner receiving family passes to be Motul’s guests at Silverstone’s Classic and some great Motul gear will head the way of the winners together, of course, with the overall winner seeing their design come to life. A panel of judges, which will include some well-known names from the world of motoring, will decide on the winning entries. 

Updates on the Motul-Edition GBS Zero can be found on Motul, Witham Motorsport, GBS and related UK Social Media.
More details of the Livery Design Competition and official entry form are available here .
The Classic at Silverstone runs from the 30th of July to 1st August.

We have two GBS YouTube Channels that we are pleased to have shared several videos with you on now, and are pleased to have over 1.5K Subscribers. Our latest video is a short video talking through the wiring and brake line installation on a Zero chassis, there is also a walkaround video on a factory built Zero powered by a 2.5 Duratec Engine that shows some up close detail on the car. We are currently working on many other videos that we will be sharing on our YouTube Channel with you very soon, so keep checking!

Customer enjoys Hill Climb in the Zero…..

Earlier this week it was nice to receive some photographs from a GBS Customer who at the weekend enjoyed doing a Hill Climb Sprint in his Zero at Aintree, where he came third in his class.
Its great to see everything opening up again and events like these happening, we look forward to being back out on the track later in the year with you all in the Zeros.
Its our GBS Zero Run Out this Saturday (1st May) so we look forward to sharing more photos and videos with you from that next week. To join us in your Zero and to see more details please click here.

Behind the scenes of how the Zero Chassis is Powder Coated....

The Zero chassis is powder coated as a standard option on all self build kits and factory builds and is a very important part of the Zero build. The powder coating process makes the chassis and components more resilient, gives a superior finish to paint, is long lasting and hard wearing and offers excellent corrosion protection. Here we share with you more details on the process and a few behind the scenes photographs of the process in action.

AA_IMG_4840.jpg
A_IMG_4972.jpg
A_IMG_5001.jpg

Once the Zero Chassis production is complete and all the required welds are flattened off, the chassis is now ready for the Powder Coat process to begin. Here you can see the process of what happens when a Zero chassis is powder coated.
The chassis is placed in the Shot Blasting Chamber where it is blasted, the chassis is then blasted, the blasting process removes any dirt from the chassis. Then the powder is applied using static charge. This is a two stage process first being primer, and the second black satin top coat. The Chassis is then placed in the oven and heated up to 200 Degrees. This allows the powder to fuse and bond with the chassis, this process is done over a period of time. Whilst the chassis is still hot from the primer, the final top coat is applied using the same electro static process. Once again the chassis is placed back in the oven for the final time to be fully baked and hardened. Then we have a finished Powder Coated Zero Chassis ready for the build to begin.

It was also great to receive some photographs from GBS Customer Simon Murphy who’s Zero passed its IVA test earlier this year, which is now all registered and being enjoyed on the road. Also below are two other very nice Zeros that were IVA tested and registered last year that have been out and about being enjoyed.
We can’t wait till we can hold our next GBS Cars & Coffee event later this year and welcome you all back to the factory. There will be many new Zeros that I am sure will be joining us for the first time. We will be confirming the GBS Cars & Coffee date soon, once we know more on the lockdown restrictions being eased.

To enhance our manufacturing capabilities here at GBS, we recently invested in Autodesk software platforms via Cadspec. We wanted to design, manufacture as much as we can in-house and this gives us a lot more flexibility on the design, options and performance, which we can then pass on to the customer.

We are pleased to say that we are really pleased and excited about the new software Autodesk as it is helping us to grow our manufacturing and engineering capabilities. On a recent component that we had in production it saved us a whole 7 minutes, which is a massive time saving.

We manufacture a full range of components in house for the Zero and other sports cars, to see more about the products that we manufacture please visit www.atrproducts.co.uk and follow us on Instagram to see more behind the scenes of what we are upto.

It was also great to be featured in the March issue of the MTD Magazine about our recent investment in Autodesk with Cadspec. We look forward to working with MTD Team again later this year and doing more track days and events together.

All of the ATR Product range is available online from Kit Spares, visit www.kitspares.co.uk to see the full product range.
