But only this weekend will they be able to pitch themselves against the other 30 contenders.<\/p>\n<p>Race day is just the tip of the iceberg.

The uncanny resemblance in name goes much further than just a name. Both high performing brands are continually improving and at the forefront of innovation in their fields.<\/p>\n<p>Euroslide is a fully customisable range designed by engineers for engineers. It\u2019s the preferred choice of many car manufacturers, workshops and garages. The range can be designed around your storage needs. It is perfectly design for keeping large parts, tools and CNC tools safe whilst being easily accessible during the working day.<\/p>\n<p>We worked with Eurotech Racing designing a unique layout to suit the demands of their environment. They chose a combination of drawer cabinets, cupboards and mobile drawer cabinets in a clean, all white finish. The addition of graphite grey mobile drawer cabinets is essential for productivity, ensuring parts and tools can be&nbsp;moved from workshop to workshop as and when required. The cabinets have been positioned in long runs to create plentiful workspace around the cars.<\/p>\n<p>Expanding into the MINI challenge also meant planning workshops for their news Mini\u2019s. This fit out included customised Euroslide workbenches complete with light blue drawer cabinets which, I think you\u2019ll agree, complements the cars beautifully.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_590\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-590\" class=\"wp-image-590 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/workbenches\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/BTCC-MINI-WORKSHOP.jpg\" alt=\"Eurotech Racing Mini Workshop\" width=\"640\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/workbenches\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/BTCC-MINI-WORKSHOP.jpg 640w, https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/workbenches\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/BTCC-MINI-WORKSHOP-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-590\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We can customise Euroslide Drawer Cabinets to your corporate colours.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Behind the scenes is running smoothly with the help of Euroslide.
