Our USA Representative finally able to visit us at GBS again.....

Last week it was great to welcome Paul Barnes our USA representative back to GBS for a few days after over a year of not being able to visit due to Covid travel restrictions.

Earlier this year we exhibited at the 2021 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach which took place 24-26th September 2021. The Long Beach Grand Prix was the last race of the year 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. Due to travel restrictions we were unable to go to the show and join Paul, but one of the GBS team will be flying out to USA to assist Paul with the start of his NEW USA Generation2 Zero demonstrator build next month.

It’s been a busy few months with Zero Self Build Kit collections and several exports to the USA, with more being collected and packed soon. Whilst Paul was here with us we showed him all the developments that we have been working on including the new GBS Gen 2 Boot Covers and Doors that have now arrived and will be released for sale later this month. More news on them will be shared with you very soon.

Please see link below to more details on the USA Self Build or contact us and we will answer all your questions.

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....

A_ME3.jpg
A_ME7.jpg

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.”

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.”
