Default Video of ZEN Impreza at Silverstone

This in car-video shows a selection of 59 second laps of the Silverstone National circuit in our Bioethanol-powered Time Attack Impreza. Shortly after the video equipment was removed, Matt Allison drove the car to a 58.880s lap time (faster than we ran last year and faster than last year's winning time), good enough for second place.

The aborted lap the video ends on, looked quick until Matt noticed the camera battery working adrift...

You might notice that Matt is changing gear very early, this is because we were suffering with horrendous clutch slip! It also meant that in order to get a clean lap, we had to turn the boost right down and so we only had about 610bhp available, as opposed to over 700hp

He has gotten confused and thinks the warm up laps were him going for it OR because its not screeching all over the place and having sideways moments it must be a confidence thing
