PREVIEW: Pro Class Final

In theory four of the five Pro Class drivers could still take the crown, but judging both the maths and the season so far it should be a straight dogfight between Gareth Lloyd in the CPR EVO V and Steve Guglielmi in the Lotus Elise. In the four rounds this year these two drivers have shared the podium equally, which means Lloyd carries a miniscule 2 points lead into the final round. In fact,...read more

PREVIEW: Club Pro Final

With a host of entrants in the Club Pro Class for 2010 it’s been a tough battle to get to the top of the Championship table. The Scooby Clinic Impreza, driven by Kevin Horsley and Andy Harvey during 2010, has edged the lead though, racking up a 348 points tally to date. That puts the Scooby Clinic team in pole position for the title as their nearest competitor is the ex-Zen Performance...read more

PREVIEW: Club Pro RWD Final

Set-up once the season had begun due to the pace set by three of the cars in the Club Class - RWD, the Club Pro – RWD Class is revving up to an intriguing finale. Paul Whiffin’s Supra has had a few issues this year, despite a storming start, so he currently sits in third place with 161 points. Unfortunately that’s also where he’ll finish despite any performance in the final round as...read more

PREVIEW: Club Challenge NA Final

Three drivers in this Class have the potential of claiming overall victory, but before they hit the Snetterton track, that top spot looks to be a straight battle between the crowd-pleasing Metro 6R4 of Mark Pollard and the BMW M3 of Daniel Gannon. Both have performed consistently through the season resulting in Pollard boasting a 398 points haul and Gannon 43 points behind on 355 points....read more

PREVIEW: Club Challenge RWD Final

The upgrading to Club Pro- RWD of the two Supras and Jamie Wilson’s Lotus Exige has opened up the Club Challenge – RWD class to a new set of contenders. At the head of that list is Matt Webb in his FD3S RX7. Webb has amassed an impressive 315 points so far this season which gives him a 20 points advantage over the Sierra Cosworth of Ronnie Amis heading into Snetterton. Amis has been...read more

PREVIEW: Club Challenge FWD

Bo Nielsen in his Vauxhall Astra VXR has had a storming season so far and currently leads the FWD class by 100 points. In theory, simply putting in the fastest qualifying lap and taking the 5 points for that could clinch him the title, so long as David Ward in his MINI doesn’t qualify well. Should it come down to the final Super Battle, it would still take a seriously unfortunate turn of...read more

PREVIEW: Club Challenge 4WD Final

In the first instalment of a series of updates leading up to the final round of the 2010 Time Attack series, we take a look at the 4WD competitors in the Club Class. We’ll be looking at each class over the next few weeks to see who has a chance for glory and who you should be keeping an eye out for. Out in the lead is Scott Robson in the Usedcarparts.co.uk Subaru Impreza, notching up an...read more

2010 Champs? :All to play for at Snetterton

Snetterton being a power circuit will now favour the big bhp cars and everyone is being very candid about the power they are running. Only when will the qualifying starts and...read more

Guglielmi Wins Round 4

The stunning Cadwell Park circuit was always going to be the wild card event of the 2010 Time Attack series. Its first time on the calendar, drivers and their teams had nothing from previous years to compare their set-ups or tactics too, but that didn't stop them from putting on a spectacular show for the Lincolnshire crowds and setting some impressive new lap records. Steve Guglielmi and...read more

Time Attack's New Grid Girl - Laura

Time Attack regulars may have noticed a new face at Brands Hatch for Round 3. Laura McMillan is the new Time Attack girl...and she's certainly getting plenty of attention.

Five Years On Lloyd Still Has Winning Touch

With Round 2 of the 2010 Time Attack championship taking place this weekend at Knockhill in Scotland, it seemed like the ideal time to catch up with Gareth Lloyd. Gareth won Round 1 at Oulton Park, but if you cast your minds back to five years ago, some may recall his victory in the debut of the Time Attack format in the GT Battle at Rockingham. We caught up with the Car Planet Racing...read more

It's Not a Golf!

It's great to see a VW testing its mettle in this year's Time Attack series...even if some people seem confused about what it is. As driver Jay Mctoldridge says, it's commonly mistaken for a Golf, yet it's actually the Golf's smaller sibling, a Polo. The fantastic looking Dub runs a Polo G40 engine, but with an Audi TT turbo replacing the factory supercharger, and the results are pretty...read more

Now For Something Very Different!

It was one of the most stared at cars during Round One at Oulton Park, and that's not too surprising really. This bonkers-looking Pulsar GTI-R is the work of DD Autosport, built for a customer, Craig Allen. DD Autosport is the company of Dave Perry's son (Dave used to run DP Motorsport), but Dave was roped in to help with this project...including driving it. read more

The Secrets of Buddy Clubs' Success

  During Round Two of 2009’s Time Attack series at Knockhill, Paul Hughes in the Buddyclub Integra DC5 had a major problem. While qualifying a CV joint failed, resulting in his front offside wheel coming off. In these circumstances finding replacement parts to get the car fixed and back on track can be tricky and there was no way the team could get hold of a new CV bearing. So what did...read more

A minute with Fee Kindness..

After her small incident at Oulton Park, we figured it was time to catch up with the R32 Skyline driving Club Class competitor at Knockhill. How did you get on at Knockhill?

Ha, I didn’t have much of a choice to go out again…my husband made...read more
