Time Attack series- Newcomer/rookie,- definately one to watch
watched benno today at his debut at oulton park
, mixing it with the more experienced boys today, car not fully reduced in weight, and despite a really unlucky final round was the one to watch! a well known and more experienced user from here was even taking tips on the "correct" line
. well done today chris, and in my eyes you learnt a lot from today and anglesea is yours for the taking with the final upgrades bringing you in line with your competitors spec

Cheers mate, was good to have you, stu, steve and lee there! Learnt a few things the hard way but brilliant experience. Was good to be in the same garage as paul doyle and duncan though intimidating! (Hasn't been mentioned but just to show the spirit of TA pauls mechanic (dave) spent the best part of 2 hours helping duncan put his replacement diff in). Thought Lee was outstanding all day and has gone about the whole thing the right way and was gutted for Big Fud (though i'm sure he'll get his money back from that WR1). Car on a diet, stiffer springs and losing the standard wrx rear 2 pots!! Not quite TA level lol

Was a good day, stu and the lads nearly became pit crew as it was all hands on deck at one stage!

and yes you are right I havent done my write up yet ... i am working on it though and will be up by the end of the week. Dave along with others (and me) seemed to spent too much of the day under the car when we should have been with the pirelli girls

Well done on your win, you kept a cool head off the track when the sh*t hit the fan, was quality to watch
Think giving you my (lucky) garage won it for you! (didn't really have a choice seeing as though bren had plastered it with 'BC Coilover' flags everyehere 
)Learnt lots from the day and about the car and me, hopefully both will improve.
