Well as far as the "Turbo thrust bearing broke" its perfectly true Mr RUSSP! Dealer has confirmed this and I would think they would know if a turbo was gone or not!!!!

Top article about last months "thrash" in Banzai Mag but i'm sitting here absolutely P1ssin9 myself laughing at the excuses 
"My Big ICE slowed me down...!"
"I need a new clutch!"
"NEver done it before"
"Changing into 3rd runined my times!"
"Designed to handle"
"Turbo thrust bearing broke"
"More work needed on the launch control (!)"
Etc
Etc!
Even Craig was doubtful before recording 3.7secs to 60mph with the classic "It won't be very quick coz its not up to full boost yet
)
Great day out tho - the cars look awesome! And ALL the times were feckin impressive!

Cheers Si, I was very nervous of breaking the car so didn't go nasty on the clutch or gears ! (Just for Russ because I didn't give an excuse in the mag !!).
Web Guru, Hope they have fixed it for you !!
And as to the "I need a new clutch!" excuse ... you should of been there to smell it , but Paul's car was fast and I am sure it would of given Craig a bit of challenge.

What a feature, very good. Nice to see Colin on the front cover nice times Craig.
Yep, me clutch gave up, hence no times for me. Must get around to changing it, especially now the front mount is on order.

I've just got Banzai and i must say that they made up the excuses for me.
I would like to thank Joe and co. for a great article, just a shame they did'nt put in that picture of me going sideways around the top bend

Just bought the mag, impressive times especially Mr Hardman, but overall the thing that impressed me most (well kind of) was the times for the Forrester. I had no idea they were that quick.

You did a bit didn't you! That thing must go round corners a bit well looking at those times!
And you get the track to yourself when it starts raining and the Caterhams all go home!

If you look at the bhp/tonne numbers, you needed at least 100 per tonne to get ahead of me and most of the quickest stuff was over twice my bhp/t rating.
Also... my times were my average, but the Noble only did 1 lap in the 1.22s. The rest were mid 1.24s or... less than a second quicker than my car
If only it had rained in the afternoon

Well thanx for the Forester comments.
It will go faster but it had a full tank of SUL on board with no booster and had work gear in the boot and blah blah blah ...........
Still, I hope it can reach 60 in 6 secs one day.
Shame about the 0-100 time, but as it is a brick on wheels I suppose I have to lump it.
