In the highly competitive world of motorsports and European auto tuning, reputation is earned, not given.
Based in Atlanta, GA, Solo Motorsports has built a track record of excellence by consistently delivering high-performance results. While their trophies span multiple disciplines, including setting the Fastest Four Door records at WannaGOFAST half-mile drag races and dominating Global Time Attack, it is their success in GRIDLIFE that truly proves their ability to craft vehicles that are fast, reliable, and perfectly balanced.
If you drive an Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, or Volkswagen and want to unlock its true potential, Solo Motorsports offers an unmatched combination of racing pedigree and technical expertise.
π₯ GRIDLIFE Glory: The Solo Motorsports Pedigree
GRIDLIFE is a crucible for performance tuning, demanding a delicate balance between raw power and supreme handling for Time Attack racing. Solo Motorsports has repeatedly demonstrated their mastery here, particularly with their BMW platforms.
The shop’s high-profile accomplishments include:
- Record-Setting Time Attack: The Solo Motorsports-tuned BMW 135i Race Car has been a dominant force. In 2017, the 624 hp N54-powered coupe (featured with a custom Borg Warner single turbo setup, Clubsport racing suspension, and Wilwood Big Brakes) was driven to a record-setting Track Modified RWD time of 1:34.7 at the GRIDLIFE event at Gingerman Raceway.
- Time Attack Podiums: Beyond the records, Solo Motorsports-prepped cars have consistently landed on the podium in major Time Attack events, demonstrating that their tuning solutions are effective, durable, and capable of sustained peak performance on track.
- Diverse Success: Their success isn’t limited to BMWs or Time Attack. They’ve also tuned and built vehicles that have won Fastest Four Door awards in high-speed drag racing (WannaGOFAST), including a 780 AWHP Audi S4 and a powerful E63 AMG wagon, showcasing a versatile approach to extreme performance across different motorsport disciplines.
These accomplishments mean that the techniques and calibrations applied to your street or track car are race-proven at the highest levels of competition.
π§ Why You Should Choose Solo Motorsports for Your Modifications
Performance is more than just installing parts; it’s about engineering a cohesive system. Solo Motorsports offers a comprehensive, race-focused approach to modification and tuning, particularly for German performance vehicles.
1. Dyno-Validated Custom Tuning
Simply flashing an off-the-shelf tune won’t unlock the best performance, especially when adding major hardware like downpipes, intakes, or turbos.
- In-House Mustang Dyno: Solo Motorsports utilizes a state-of-the-art, 4WD, load-bearing Mustang Dynamometer for precise tuning. This allows their expert tuners to simulate real-world driving conditions and stress-test the engine map.
- ECU & TCU Optimization: They offer custom dyno tunes for various fuel types (including E85 and race gas). This process meticulously adjusts air-to-fuel ratios, boost curves, and ignition timing to safely maximize power and torque from your specific setup. Furthermore, their expertise extends to TCU (Transmission Control Unit) tuning, which is vital for quick, firm shifts and correctly handling the increased torque from a modified engine.
2. Engineering and Fabrication Expertise
For true high-performance builds, a bolt-on approach isn’t enough.
- Custom Fabrication: Their ability to custom-build parts and perform complex engine swaps (like the S54 Turbo swap into an E30 that won Fastest Four Door) shows a deep understanding of vehicle mechanics far beyond basic service.
- Comprehensive Upgrades: From performance upgrades like turbo/supercharger installs and big brake kits to advanced suspension calibration and corner balancing, Solo ensures every component works in harmony, which is crucial for turning a powerful street car into a capable track machine.
3. Race-to-Road Reliability
Winning a GRIDLIFE Time Attack record requires a car to not only be fast but also to survive under extreme stress. This focus on reliability in a racing context translates directly to the longevity and safety of your modified daily driver.
When you bring your European performance car to Solo Motorsports, you’re not just getting parts installed; you are getting a setup that has been tested, calibrated, and proven in competition. You’re leveraging years of trackside experience to ensure your vehicle delivers maximum power and precision, safely and reliably, whether you’re commuting through Atlanta traffic or hitting the track on the weekend.
