Background :- 

2008 is my 3^rd full year in Time Attack, having had a wicked time competing in the same car which has undergone a massive transformation since the 1^st round back in 2006 when it was still my daily driver.

Unfortunately the new engine build was not ready in time for R1 at Donington but should be ready for R2 at Knockhill on May 18 and hopefully will be reliable for the rest of the season.  Massive thanks to Len and Mark at Subaru 4 You for all the dedicated and hard work on my car, as well as Simon from Jolly Green Monster for the mapping and Mark at Lateral Performance for component supplies and advice.

My aim for this year is to finish the competition in the top 5 and hope to get on the podium at least once and to be one of the quickest Subaru Impreza drivers in the competition.

I’m looking forward to Knockhill as I have not yet managed to complete an event their due to mechanical failures in both 2006 and 2007 – so 3^rd time lucky J

I think my best result of the year could be at Silverstone as the car should perform best there.
