Remember the Pirelli World Challenge? This Chevrolet Sonic remembers–because it was there, competing in B-Spec under the Tech Sport Racing banner.
[That time we raced in the Pirelli World Challenge series]
The Sonic has been in the care of the current owner since 2017 and currently comes upgraded with Sachs dampers, Borla exhaust, K&N air filter, fire suppression system, …
B spec in a sonic is what I aspire to do. The sonic is such a under rated giggle factory in autox and track sprints it has to be a hoot to club race one. Once I get my autox car completely sorted I'm gonna buy one. I unfortunately can't buy a b spec car right now because I'm a broken person and if I get two projects at once neither of them will get done.
Cool find, Colin.
We ran B Spec back when it was new, but we had a Ford Fiesta.

I miss Riverside :(
Strangely, I haven't been to the mall that replaced it - ever.
In reply to kb58 :
Happy memories of Riverside; I went 130 mph down the back stretch on my 125cc GP bike.
As for B-spec I love the class.......I am pretty much doing that by racing a 1200 as the lap times are similar.
The Sonic was among my top picks for a car to take to college, but the Fit ended up winning out.
Still wouldn't mind one. They seem like a fun "warm" hatch that you don't see very often anymore.
At a press event one year, I believe it was before or after SEMA, we autocrossed some Sonics courtesy of Chevy that had been fitted with Chevrolet Performance parts.
