Nice one Steve, a guy I know in Stratford is driving in this series, he owns the local Subaru dealership so you can guess what he is driving. :happy2:

Peanut and I got to spend some time with the owner of this car during our trip to the Nurburgring recently so will be watching this one with interest, here's some pics from a shake down at Bedford this weekend. It's his first full year in the Club 4WD Class  :smiley:

Good man Steve.

Ive watched this, its phenomenal.  Shot gun first set of free tickets  :innocent:

The only issue being your car will actually seem lightly modified lol.

Are we expecting to see some sponsorship decals then?

That is strange.



Why would they point all 4 exhausts to the right handside of the car??

I dont think quick justifies some of the cars.  Some are absolutely mental!!


Is the Club Fwd getting any bigger.  When i last went, it was an alfas which werent especially quick, a couple minis and a astra VXR that was eons faster than all the others in the class.

Just checked.  The astra vxr was driven by a guy called bo nielson, he has a build thread somewhere.  Quite an interesting read.

The exhausts are just for Bedford due to noise restrictions  :happy2:

This is the current FWD champs build thread.  http://www.vxronline.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?78127-Time-Attack-Project Think hes at around 360Hp, so ower wise, Steve should annihilate him.

Good news though steve, last year there was a controlled tyre, Pirelli P Zero iirc, which would have been a nightmare with your power id imagine, but this year they are leaving it open with only a few caveats

[pdf]http://www.timeattack.co.uk/downloads/Tyre%20choices%20for%20the%202012%20Time%20Attack%20Championship.pdf[/pdf]

So i think its any tyre within the MSA 1B category for dry, but must be 1B for wet

[pdf]http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/msa_forms/bluebooks/11/191-200%20Permitted%20Tyres.pdf[/pdf]

Im presuming you would enter the club class?
