A Tyred Dads Racing Club Blog

Another new car blog…

If you’ve some how stumbled upon this probably poorly written paragraph then I imagine you have transferred over from the Tyred Dads Racing Club YouTube channel meaning you already know we’re a bunch of mates with a love of engineering, a lack of personal safety and more specifically a questionable obsession for cars.

If you have no idea who we are then I apologise in advance for the terrible jokes and back yard engineering you will witness in just about all of our videos. This, however, is my little safe haven and you’ll understand what I mean by that in the next paragraph.

My name is Jake, and I could waste more of your time telling you how engineering runs in my blood and cars are my life…but I imagine if you’ve even got this far though then you live in a similar world to me and the rest of the TDRC. We all live and breath cars and I have been lucky enough to own a lot of cool metal from track cars, show cars, drift cars and everything in between! I’ve also worked in a wide variety of automotive based jobs. I started in a real back street tyre shop many many years ago and more recently spent most of my life tuning and building high power JDMs and providing track side support for some prototype testing. I’ve loved all of my career but my real passion is driving, or taking photos of what I’m driving, and this is where this section of the TDRC, my little blog, comes in to play.

I know a lot of people with cool cars, I also meet a lot of people with cool cars. Most of which are happy for me to drive or at least shoot whatever they are in possession of at the time and this is where I will be putting all of that content together. It’ll be a combination of my thoughts on cars I get to drive, photo or video shoots of the coolest stuff I can get my hands on and coverage of any events or trips and track days we go on as the TDRC.

Whether you like reading or you just prefer the pretty colours like Simon, we’ll have something here for you. Don’t forget to head over to the YouTube channel and tell him to stop talking about lathe chucks or machining angles and hurry up and build his starlet!

I think the next post will be about a car I’m very confused about and have been for years. The F80 BMW M3. I both love and hate it but I’m not sure which side of me wins.
