Is this your first year in Time Attack? :

Second in Time Attack time after doing a round back in 2005 at Rockingham.

What do you like about Time Attack and how have you done this season so far :

 I love the fact Time Attack is open to anyone wanting to test their car against the fastest tuned cars in the UK, also seeing the original Japanese event inspired me to want to take part in the UK version.
