Time Attack - Round 3,Knockhill

Wow - Knockhill - what a track,the only track Ive been to that comes close to it is Brands Hatch, short,sweet and with loads of gradients


Overall winner on the day was Phil Glew in the Zen Performance Subaru Impreza who set a 57.704 in the wet of the final but earlier had set a 53.450, fastest time of the day


2nd overall despite this high speed trip through the gravel trap was the Roger Clark Motorsport Subaru Impreza WRX driven by Olly Clark


3rd overall and the only driver to get close to Phil Glew during qualifying was the Autosportif / Tein Subaru Impreza driven by rally legend Jimmy McRae, father of Colin (RIP) and Alastair

After a paintshop malfunction,Rob Barnes in the Do-Luck /Sumo Power Evo 8 now sports pink paintwork.....

1 of the best prepared cars in the series is Adrian Smiths Fensport Generation 7 Toyota Celica, which has been converted to 4wd aswell as a 3S-GTE engine transplant

Very narrow and loads of gradient changes,fantastic track and a real challenge,but every driver loved it

The only Irish entrant this round was Phil Burdock in his Burdock Flooring Subaru Impreza

Shane Smith in his nicely presented GTR register R32 GTR

Once again Nadine Geary in her menacing Dodge Viper won the club n/a class

Clive Seddon in the RC Developments Evo 6 looked very strong in the final,until disaster struck...



Fortunatley there were no injuries and the car only sustained minimal damage,it will return

George Orr in the Extreme Motorsport Evo 6 was setting some of the quickest times on the day overall,but the lack of a rollcage for the car led to him competing in and winning the club forced induction class overall


The AG Motorsport Ford Focus Cosworth 4x4 in the pro class,driven by Andy Gallacher, exits with a puff of smoke and some nasty grinding noises on only the 2nd practice lap of the day

The Time Attack final will be at Brands Hatch on September 2nd,all 3 classes (Pro, Club NA and Club FI) are still undecided so it goes to the wire. Should be good!
