A quick reminder of what Time Attack is all about

YouTube - Time Attack Finals Brands Hatch

Hopefully Mike will have plenty of ESC support at these races, especially

Donnington 6th April,
Silverstone, 1st June
Brands hatch 10th Aug
Snetterton 12th Oct

and for the seriously hardcore or just plain barmy

Knockhill 18th May
Oulton Park 5th July

I should be able to go up on Sunday. Would we get any special access to where Mike would be if we are wearing the official ESC shirts ?

Nope - unfortunately not, each team only gets a (very) limited number of pit pass wristbands that allow access.

The shirts will not allow you special access, but at most rounds last year the paddock was fairly open, so i'm sure at some point you will be able to get up close to the cars.

Car looks and sounds the dogs danglies Mike.

Driving out of Chelmsford this afternoon, looked in my mirror, and there was this white and pink beast behind me (Zak and Luke onboard I think), I waved, pulled into the slow lane and they Burbled past.
Unfortunately I couldn't play as I was on my way to Xtremes to drop the car off for a new clutch which was slipping like mad.

Cant wait to see it on track.

Deffo be at Donny.

They were taking it to EA, to get a before and after dyno run (before on pumped V-Power, after on Pumped V-Power+Methanol )
