Time Attack 2008 Round 4 - Oulton Park

Sorry for the lack of activity recently, but hopefully the recent events I have attended will be uploaded quicker from now on, anyway onto Time Attack
Round 4 of Time Attack and Oulton Park was the venue, where the Pro Class cars had come to hunt down and kill the BTCC lap record of 1.28.8......

The cars swarm around the cameras, ready to attack the lap record

Pro Class

First up to the kill was Phil Bennett in the Autosportif / TEIN Impreza with 1.28.545

Then Steve Gugliemi in the Gugliemi Motorsport Elise did a 1.28.031 to secure 3rd place

Tom Ferrier in the Zen Performance Impreza claims 2nd with 1.27.2

There had to be a winner - and for the 3rd time this year it was Olly Clark in the Roger Clark Motorsport Impreza with a quite amazing 1.25.9 lap, faster than both the BTCC race and qualifying lap records

Still the top Skyline GTR in Pro is Ron Kiddell in the RK Tuning R32 GTR with 8th place and a 1.32 lap

Top 'privateer' runner in Pro so far this year is Lee Broadhurst in the NR Autosport/Edgehill Evo 9


Top RWD is the same as 2007 Darren Robinson in the WhifBitz Mazda RX7. The car was very fast at Brands in 2007 so should have a good result there at the next round - Brands Hatch

Club Class

The future? RC Developments had their new R35 GTR running in club class with a top 20 finish, 6 seconds off the pace, which shows how fast the club challenge cars can be!

John Begley in the torrential rain which made the morning sessions interesting

More rain, Marco Haig in the Fiat Coupe, 1 of the more distinctive cars in club

The next round of Time Attack will be at Brands Hatch on August 10th as part of the Autotuner show
