GBS becomes involved in a Zero Emission Vehicle Technology Project.....

We are excited to be part of this project in collaboration with Trelleborg Applied Technologies , Far-UK Ltd , Engenuity Ltd. Funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) through The Niche Vehicle Network, Trelleborg’s applied technologies operation will undertake a research and development project focused on electric vehicle (EV) battery material and design, as part of a collaboration with Trelleborg Applied Technologies, Far-UK Ltd and Engenuity Ltd.

The early stage R&D stream initiative provides a platform for collaborative research in the area of zero emission vehicle technologies within the UK niche vehicle sector.

The focus of the R&D project is to develop a novel material as an alternative to aluminium, that can be integrated into an EV battery to reduce the overall weight of the battery case, supporting the decarbonization of vehicles on the road and reducing emissions through light weighting.

The R&D project is for a six-month period, with findings and results published during 2022.

The NEW GBS Motul Edition Zero revealed at The Silverstone Classic....

At the weekend the brand new GBS Zero Motul Edition was revealed to the public for the first time at the Silverstone Classic Show on the Motul Stand with Witham Motorsport. The Zero attracted a lot attention over the 3 days and the big reveal on the Friday really created a crowd and a lot of media attention. The car was revealed by Martin Lines, who won the competition to design the livery and Motul. On the Saturday the new Zero Motul Edition also got to make its first appearance on the track at Silverstone where it took part in the parade lap, which Martin also enjoyed the experience of being the passenger.
The whole GBS team have been involved in this special Zero build and we are all very proud of it and the whole build process and story has been captured and we are pleased to now share the video and story with you all.

We look forward to sharing more news about this special Zero, and hope that you all get to see it at some point as it will hopefully be at more events throughout the year.

More about the Zero Motul Edition and the Story…..

The project to build this unique MOTUL-EDITION GBS ZERO was formed from a special partnership with UK car manufacturer, Great British Sports Cars (GBS), Witham Motorsport and Motul. The lightweight hand-crafted sports car was built by the Nottinghamshire engineering company and from its machining of metal billets through all of the necessary turning, drilling and assembly processes, we believe this is 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, and greases, this car has been made to a performance standard with very special specifications. Along with its livery, chosen from a UK national design competition, the car has Motul uniquely sculpted onto, or etched into, the brake callipers, headlamp covers, interior upholstery and even the chassis itself.

The ultra-lightweight Zero sports car is powered by a 2.5 litre 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. With a 240BHP unit, a dry sump oil system, ATR throttle bodies and a kerb weight of only 600kg, the Motul-Edition GBS Zero will have a power to weight ratio of almost 500BHP/Tonne, which will make it extremely rapid.

Going forward the GBS Zero Motul Edition will be used to promote Motul products and British engineering and will be seen with customers and our drivers and race teams, throughout the UK. The winner of the best design idea for the car was Martin Lines from Bedfordshire, UK, and his entry was chosen by the judging panel (made up of Motul, Witham Motorsport and GBS Directors) for its ingenious use of all the GBS Zero and Motul creative branding elements. The under 16 age category prize winner, was Kaira Milburn age 10, from Maidstone in Kent, who sent in an amazing colourful design.

As Motul UK Distributors, Witham Motorsport are the driving force behind the project. As Managing Director, Nigel Bottom explains; ”We have been supplying Motul products to Great British Sportscars for some time and, having had the chance to meet Richard (Hall) and tour the factory, I was hugely impressed by the depth of their engineering skill, by their innovative ideas and by the fact that there was potentially a great story to be told, on the start-to-finish and beyond part, that Motul plays in the construction of this GBS Zero. The idea of a Motul-Edition seemed like a logical extension of this and so we embarked on what is a truly novel venture for a lubricant brand.”

Motul has many exciting partnerships in which it is active around the world, but Silverstone’s Classic has been chosen as the venue for the car to make its public debut for a number of reasons, as Motul’s UK Business Development Manager Andy Wait explains. “We were delighted earlier this year to announce our partnership with Silverstone for The Classic. It is a huge festival of enthusiast motoring, with more than 100,000 people expected, so we wanted to make our first appearance there memorable and, therefore, to have the climax of the Motul GBS Zero initiative at Silverstone seems apt. Also, of course, the car shape has a retro look and feel to it, so it fits in with the spirit of the classic event, as well as, offering us a great chance to showcase so much of what Motul can offer to the public.”

Motul Lubricants -
Motul Autocool Optimial - Coolant
Motul 300V Power Racing 5w30 – Ideal for fast road & track
Motul Gear Comp. 75w140 - Diff

Thank you for joining us at our GBS Cars & Coffee event.....

Our first GBS Cars & Coffee event of 2021 happened last Saturday (26th June) at the GBS Factory. It was a fantastic day and great event and nice to see so many people join us. The weather could not have been better for it and stayed dry, it was the perfect morning for the sports cars to be out the garage, and the car park was busy all day with people and sports cars. It was nice to have so many Zero owners join us as well a full range of other sports cars, there is always something interesting to see and everyone is always welcome!

The Kit Spares shop and show room was also open on the day and was very busy, we thank you for your patience as there was a long que at times as we had limited numbers in the shop at once. Visit our new part website www,kitspares.co.uk to see our full range of parts and spares or come and visit our shop, its open Monday - Friday.

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

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.”

Updates on the Competition and on the Motul-Edition GBS Zero can also be found on Motul, Witham Motorsport websites and related UK Social Media. Click here to see more on the build.

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!

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

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. 

First 2021 Run Out in the Zeros..... Thank you for joining us.

Last Saturday (1st May) we enjoyed a run out in the Zero’s, where we all met at GBS in the car park to then enjoy a drive out together. The route that we planned was similar to last years run out covering around 50 miles, which was through some lovely villages and country roads finishing in a nice idyllic location in the countryside where we took the opportunity to enjoy some food. The weather was perfect for us and the rain held off, we would like to thank you all for joining us and making it such an enjoyable day.
We look forward to organising another run out in the Zeros later in the year. Join our GBS Mailing List to be kept up to date with our latest news and events.

Testing at Blyton Park with a customers Zero and other performance car....

We always have a workshop full of Zeros and often have other interesting cars with us that we are doing work on and bespoke fabrication. One GBS Customer has a Zero and also owns this Repco Brabham sports car which some of you may have seen in the workshop when you visited last year. It was with us for engine, electrical and custom works and earlier this year it was back with us for the geometry set up and to prepare it for its test and set up day at the track.

Where last month we booked a test day at Blyton Park for the Brabham to be be put through it paces on the track to see how it performed, some of the GBS Workshop team also attended to make sure the set up was correct and to make any required adjustments to the setup. It was a successful and enjoyable day and the car performed well with only a few minor tweaks required. Denis also enjoyed several laps of the track in his Zero too, and can’t wait to join us on our next GBS Track Day. The Brabham is now all set up and ready for its Hill Climb event which is happening later next month, we look forward to hearing how it gets on.

Its always great to see what customers also have in their car collections along with the Zero, and we are pleased to offer a full range of workshop and engineering / fabrication services for the Zero and other sports cars. Click here for more details about what we offer including our IVA Service.
