Dalton Racing and their VW Golf Mk1 traveled from their home in Rödham, Austria to Klettwitz, Germany for the L8-Night drag event. While there the team went 8.88 sec at 265 km/h (164.6 mph) which is close to their personal best of 8.617 sec 262.07 km/h (162.8 mph). The Golf is powered by a turbocharged 1.8 L 20v inline-four producing 957 hp and 803 Nm (592 lb-ft) of torque to the hubs on 3.53 bar (51.1 psi) of boost. A five-speed transmission with a Quaife gearset sends power to all four wheels through a 4Motion drivetrain.
