Default News: MeisterR Sponsored Performace AutoWorks’ DC2 retires.

We want to give a great send off to Performance Autoworks Honda DC2 Integra as it has now retired from racing.

MeisterR sponsored the DC2 VTEC Challenge car for 2011, 2012 and 2013.
The DC2 ran an off the shelf MeisterR Zeta-R coilovers with minor springs rate changes.
This DC2 completed the 3 racing season with no rebuild or service to the coilovers.
Over the three years period, the DC2 won Class Champion in the VTEC Challenge every year.
It also took 2nd place overall In the Dave Allen Memorial Trophy “All Corners” race at Castle Combe in 2013.





Here is a video from the first race of the VTEC Challenge in 2011



Overall Stats:
VTEC Challenge Class Champion – 2011, 2012, 2013
32 race starts (2 DNF)
29 outright podium finishes
26 class wins
18 outright wins
(1 set of MeisterR Zeta-R coilovers)
(0 replacement dampers)

Richard from Performace Autoworks also added “Very proud of that record with the car…especially as we never really developed it anywhere near as much as we could have.”
We at MeisterR are proud of Richard’s achievements over the years and are happy it proved that our Zeta-R coilovers were able to perform successfully in the racing circle with very little maintenance.

We look forward to Richard’s next project… Stay tuned to more news from MeisterR.

That video didn't do Richard any justice as it was the FIRST time the car has been out.
And there was some issue with the short shifter he installed (it doesn't go into gear).

That was fixed at the next round and he had no problem since… but not the best video to show his gear work.

He was gearing down at wrong times, although the car had plenty of pace compared to the others, they wouldn't of got past him at all if the gears were used correctly.

Well, Richard is a good driver but not a pro-driver.
After all, most pro-driver actually don't know much about the cars, they leave it to the supporting team.

Richard build, setup, and maintain his own car… which is pretty rare to see.
