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. The brunette stunner adds an element of glamour in the pits and around the Modified Live events, so it would have been rude not to catch up with her and give Time Attack fans an insight into our new girl.

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

A minute with Wesley Cox



You may not recognise his name, but Wes was a new 'One Hit Wonder' combatant in the Club Challenge at Brands Hatch. You don't always hear what these guys have to say about things, so what did the Supra driving 31 year old make of the experience? "It's good fun. The first time out was a bit intimidating but it got better and I enjoyed it even more the second time out," Wes told us. His Supra...read more

At Round 3, Zen Performance called in the driving talents of Matt Allison to pilot their impressive Impreza. Matt has competed in the Clio Cup, Formula Ford and in the BTCC so he knows a bit about driving, but what did he think of the Time Attack experience? “I’ve always found qualifying extremely challenging, it’s where you get the best times,” he explains, “it’s a different...read more

Just thought i'd post up here to say how impressed i am with the new look site. Still beavering away with the car in readiness for Brands Hatch at the end of the month.

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? Better than at Oulton Park…at least I didn’t crash this time! You had some guts to go back out in the car again later the same day. Ha, I didn’t have much of a choice to go out again…my husband made...read more
