Picture the scene, on an early Summers morning in a picturesque English village in the foothills of Castle Combe race circuit. All is still, all is quiet. Then, professional drivers Abbie Eaton and Ben Seyfried roll up. Abbie, the leading lady, with her place behind the wheel of UJO – the LS-engined 110 CSW and Ben, piloting the Founders personal Nissan GT-R. Two performance vehicles in such close proximity to a race circuit… and so the games began… (well, it would’ve been rude not to!)
Abbie Eaton – Professional Racing Driver
As a professional racing driver, herself two-time British Champion, W Series Esports League driver, precision driver and coach – having starred as the test driver for The Grand Tour; Abbie is the perfect lead for UJO to showcase exactly what an Arkonik Defender is capable of.
Take two: UJO vs 2.2L TDCi Drag Race
Take two and Centreline to Arkonik’s loyal 2013 110 TDCi lining up against UJO in a good old fashioned drag race. Timed from 0-60-0, the results might not be surprising but they highlight the performance gains achieved from their unsurpassed SVO Arkonik Defenders.
