Time Attack Round 1

Wow what a weekend,full of surprises and broken records. Loads of new cars,updated cars and new drivers. A lot of the teams watched 2006 with interest and now have entered the 2007 series. It can only get better

This round and all rounds of the 2007 season will be shown on MotorsTV

The overall winner was the Zen Performance Subaru Impreza driven by GT/BTCC driver Matt Allison with a 1:14 lap,3 seconds quicker than the fastest lap from the 2006 final

2nd overall was the Roger Clark Motorsport Subaru Impreza WRX driven by Ollie Clark losing by just two tenths of a second to the Zen car

3rd overall and breaking up the Japanese car dominance of the event was Steve Gugliemi in the Audi 1.8 turbo powered Gugliemi Motorsport Lotus Elise

Simon Norris in the Norris Designs Evo IX SWB was 4th overall, but is 1 to watch as always, perhaps the snot rocket has met its Subaru Nemesis??

Andy Barnes's Sumo Power 350Z didnt make the final but was a fine sight ontrack, moreso as the pink paintwork made it easier to photograph, hopefully will place better in the remaining 3 rounds

Unfortunatley for Mick Wade, the Distinctive Cars York R32 GTR suffered from problems all weekend but should place better next time, gotta love the R32 GTR's

and finally 'Fast' Rob Barnes in the Sumo Power Evo VIII widebody put blown off boostpipe problems behind him to record a well deserved 5th overall

A few of the teams were still not ready for Round 1 whereas others will be making adjustments for Round 2 which will take place at Silverstone on June 3rd as part of the Japanese Tuning Show Keep an eye on the website for the latest info

Almost ready....

Well the European Drift Championship / Time Attack starts this weekend so Im off to Donington later. Got my new lens too,a Sigma 70-200 F2.8 so some good photos to come hopefully next week. Time Attack is fully booked so hopefully everyone makes it there, despite long nights for some this week doing final preparation work. Not making any predictions on results either!
