I do know the hills well and my car and to win the classes and break the records you do have to push hard everywhere.

But you are right I do get too close sometimes like this in my second run


The next meeting is the british championships at Shelsley walsh on 6th&7th of october, which is a very spectacular track in worcester.

If anyone is serious about coming along I could sort out some free tickets.

Rob.

Looking good Rob!

Sorry we couldn't make it over to spectate - sooo much work on, plus various family dramas.

Did you see the Time Attack finals footage of the blue car on youtube?

AP's, which are not working very well at all at the moment, need to get it up to zen before the next outing. Thats what you get for tyring to fit stuff yourself though, should let the pro's do it.
