In 1994 Spoon released the world’s lightest aluminium wheels. Now in 2018 they are back......

We were unsure about taking a trip to Japan for the Auto Salon in 2018 but when the invite arrived from Spoon to join them for a celebration of 30 years of trading the opportunity couldn’t be missed.

SPOON SPORTS KANPACHI AUTO SALON - AT TYPEONE - 13TH January 2018

With great pleasure we bring you our 2018 Auto Salon report with a difference.

This year was the 30^th anniversary of Spoon Sports. Spoon decided to not exhibit at the Tokyo Auto Salon, but rather hold their own Auto and Art Salon at their famous TYPOENE workshops.

BEN RUSHWORTH – ROUNDS 13 & 14 - 750MC HOT HATCH CHAMPIONSHIP

With only a couple of points between Ben and top spot of the championship, Ben had it all to gain in this penultimate weekend of Racing at Donnington.

Donnington - 30^th September 2017

BEN RUSHWORTH – ROUNDS 11 & 12 - 750MC HOT HATCH CHAMPIONSHIP

 After an eventful and rather sideways race weekend at Silverstone it was time again to knuckle down and pick up some more championship points at Rockingham.

This was one of those, full of highs, lows, mistakes, recoveries and non stop on the edge fun.

 Rockingham  - 10^th September 2017

After taking a year brake we attended HondaEuroMeet 2017 | HEM#8 for the third time. This time Spoon Sports EU and Okutan"102 had the pleasure of support from Spoon Co.Ltd. Japan.

Vice president of Spoon Takuya Kai and Export Manager Atsuta Noriko travelled from Japan on the Thursday to be greeted by Anthony and a race car trailer at Heathrow airport, then continued by road to complete the 650km Journey to Circuit de Clastres in France. It was a huge days traveling for them and we cannot thank them enough for enduring the typical M25 and Dover to Calais Ferry delays!

After a couple of busy months here is the catch up for the last couple of rounds of the 750 Motor Club Hot Hatch Series.

Caldwell Park - 29^th July 2017

Cadwell saw a few changes to the car including an upgrade from the 282mm rotors and Spoon Twinblock calipers to a 300mm rotor with the Spoon Monoblock calipers. The DIXCEL Specom Alpha pads couldn’t be fitted before this event as they had not arrived in time so an alternative needed to be sourced.

750mc Hot hatch Championship Brands Hatch Round 5

Sponsored Car & Driver Ben Rushworth Says:The weekend started with some pretty rough times at testing, with the cars balance nowhere near as good as it was at the previous rounds, however with a lot of big changes made, we slowly got the car back to the crisp balance it has before. 

750MC Roadsports - Round 1 - Oulton Park - 2nd April 2016
Interesting start to the season for the Burn! Motorsport racing effort. At last minute Anthony decided to Race along side James Rudecki and his Spoon Sports Eu supported Honda CR-Z in the CARTEK Roadsports endurance series. This meant throwing together a race ready car in our spare time within a couple of weeks. Whist the essentials were completed there is much work still required on the car.

We had eventful weekend supporting James with his CR-Z at the first CARTEK Road Sports Race event Donnington Park.  Unfortunately complications saw further delays to the build but nothing early starts, late nights and an experienced mechanic couldn’t sort. James again summarises his experiences below.
