Just got back. Very poorly run event. Seemed to be run by a bunch of chavvy cruisers.

How did everyone get on?

Powerstations/ Litchfields Type 25 Race car won it's class without even trying.

Oh and I do believe we had fastest Subaru as well.

where are all the dam photo's? I was busy removing brake pads that were on fire checking levels, tire pressures and changing suspension set ups to get any pics snapped off.

The wheels on our Type20 got that hot with the 12 pots on there it melted the plastic valve and centre caps.

Brilliant day! A lot of the big name tuning companies took part and for the first event I think it went really well. There was a good turn out of Subarus and one tuner even had Touring car ace Phil Bennet racing their car.

I'll write a full report on the event soon but in brief the Black MY06 Spec C Type 20 was the fastest Subaru and 7th overall only behind a Westfield, 2x 996TTs and some seriously powerful Exiges
Powerstation's White Type 25 won its class overall whiles bedding in the brakes!
Powerstation also provided the suspension and ontrack support for Evo Magazine's E36 M3 and that too won its class

We'll get some pictures and maybe some video footage up this week. Thanks to everyone involved.

Iain

I've just fallen out of bed, was knackered. I'll get some shots up in a minute once I scrape my eyelids open.

Only got 1500 shots to choose from.

Cheers

Some interesting results, and pictures there. I was in the Fabia vRS. I was quite pleased with my results overall - although i seem to feature in the bottom 5 - for the nature of the car / driver and mods i was happy enough.

I thoughrally enjoyed the day though, and cannot wait until next year !

I was just about to pass this scooby when this pic was taken

Yeah thats me

The car did well to achieve the results it did, although there wasn't that much in the way of competition in the class - lol.

Andy M3 - I think there was a Sanspeed BMW diesel ahead of you in the Tuner Grand Prix that you may have forgotten about!! , although you did beat it in the 0-60 drag strip

Cheers Mike.

And i didn't forget about the BMW- the results are there to be seen. I won the Diesel sprint, but the BMW was quicker around the track, although i suspect he was slightly more qualified than me with a full race suit, cloves, shoes etc etc.

It was a lot of fun - and proved that a lightly breathed on TD can muck in with the petrol lot.

I know i was just having a bit of a laugh!! your car looked very impressive. They were mates of mine, so i had to stick up for them honestly. It was a really good day but just reminded me i dont earn enough money to buy the cars of my dreams! ( or i need to sell my house)
Thanks to Muddy for organising the tickets -
