You are supposed to improve your times with each visit / lap, not go backwards!

Take the handbrake off next time!

Just thinking though... How many had technical problems and didn't actually do their Time Attack lap? maybe I'm not technically last?

When you are that far down on power, absolutely nothing!

But if you have an all singing all dancing, stripped out Spec C, AST suspension, big power to weight ratio, etc, etc, etc..........

Ahh, I remember now! I was leaving you behind thru Woodcote and sometimes Copse but you was catching me in the slower corners! It was fun for a while, but I thought afterwards I should have let you thru sooner, my apologises. It did nothing for my lap times and I am sure it didn't help yours!

(Mental note to self: remember what you learnt at the Ring, if they have caught you, they are quicker then you, let them go.....)

hehe yeah i chose to back off a little through copse just incase, didnt want to get too close through there.

and your right, it didnt do anything for the lap times in that session, i was doing 1:11s till i caught you then it was back to 1:13s

I think you'll find you've reached your limit mate That's it - you can use all the excuses under the sun (and I'm sure you will after future rounds) but you aint gonna get any quicker

just for info (and to help rob out...) this should be the final points table for the 4wd class (apologies squizz i just couldnt be arsed to do the rwd ) the grey shaded boxes denote where cars actually competed, to tell if they have done 2 or more rounds to qualify for the finals.

Neil,
I was told the other day by my mate, that instead of going for a new engine I should spend the money on track driving lessons! He aint far wrong.

I am in discussions with a number of companies, so it will be a winter job if it all comes to fruition.

I'm presently in two minds whether to go for this weekends TunerGP, as I am able to make that date..... even though it means I will be rushing around like a mad man to get there.

Regards,
Shaun.
