Is this your first year in Time Attack? :

 

No, I’m now in my third year of Time Attack and lovin’ every moment. Wouldn’t miss it for anything!

 

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

 

It brings together like minded enthusiasts who want more than a track day and don’t want the expense of ‘normal’ circuit racing. It’s a nice middle ground in motorsport that allows people to compete for a different type of podium.

This season has been my most successful so far, with two first and two second places so far… all thanks to the support of the Garage Whifbitz team and our sponsors.
