Lloyd Leads the Charge at Oulton Park

Gareth Lloyd kicked off the 2010 Time Attack series with a stunning win in his Mitsubishi Evo. Equally stunning was his 1:25.493secs time in the Final, which equated to an incredible average speed of 93.73mph. What’s more, it took him just three laps out on the circuit to post that time, which will send worried shivers down the spines of his fellow Pro Class competitors.
