Speed Season 2006

All set for Knockhill tomorrow! National sprint round too so theres a huge entry. I have pretty much the same rivals as at Teesside but my car is working better! Fingers crossed for a trophy...and some dry weather (doubtful at Knockhill unfortunately!)

Good luck.

Will anyone be taking pics/video?

Alpiniste may be there for a video, if not then my sister in law may manage photos.

Another win! Quite hard fought too! Clutch was misbehaving but apart form that it was all peachy. Pulled out 3 seconds on the Porsche Boxster S in 2nd place. Hopefullly Peter will have some video of my last run to add to the site.

3 seconds ,did they all have hangovers

It was almost 2 laps of the full circuit so it took 2 minutes 10 (that was my best time), so 3 seconds isnt a huge margin. I posted a 2.15 first off then everyone crashed a bit and we didnt get a 2nd practice run.....and then the sun disappeared and it rained!!!! 1st timed run was in the wet and was in the 2.20s...then it dried up so it was do or die for the last run of the day.......and I did
The winner of the whole event did a 1minute 34!!!!! He had a purpose built carbon fibre single seater with a Nicholson Mclaren V8 turning out over 500bhp though........reckon if I'd had my second practice run I'd really have got to grips with the track and probably could have pipped him

Ahhhhhhhhh .I see .

This is what the guy who won is running

Imagine that in a GTA....only 117kgs too??? Sadly they are around £50k and would probably rip a GTA to bits!!

Interesting....... it says it is an eighty degree V8.

Where's the turbo?

10 hours between rebuilds
You should have heard it....some piece of kit!

Excellent as ever Peter! The guys driving the T2 were Tony Jameson-Allen and Paul Taylor. Thanks for turning up....although I didnt really get much time to speak to you this time round. Any A610 news????
I dont suppose you got any footage of the car that won the event overall did you?
