Time Attack 2009 Round 5 - Snetterton - The Final

The final of the 2009 Time Attack Series took place at Snetterton

Pro/Club Pro/Prototype/Openwheel Class

First in Pro was Phil Glew in the Zen Performane Impreza, setting a time of 1.11.03 which was rain affected but had earlier set the fastest time of the day with 1.09.7

The sole prototype entry, Andy Gallachers AG Motorsport Ford Focus - 4wd, Cosworth engined and almost 700bhp with a partially spaceframed chassis to boot. He set a faster time than Glew in the Superbattle final with 1.10.3 but the car is inegible for points in 2009. Hopefully a few more prototype cars will enter in 2010 to give Andy some competition and the rest of the grid a scare

Second in Pro with 1.11.8 and sealing second in the Pro championship for 2009 was Steve Gugliemi in his Gugliemi Motorsport Elise

Third overall and first in ClubPro was James Nicholls in the Car Planet Racing Evo 6 with a time of 1.11.8, sealing him the ClubPro championship for 2009

Fourth overall was Gareth Lloyd in the second CPR Evo with a time of 1.12.5

Fifth overall was Adrian Smith in the Fensport Celica - 1.14.9

Club Class

First in club class was Russ Paton in the Wallace Performance Evo 6, 1.14.3

Duncan Graham sealed the Club championship with 2nd place, 1.14.9 in his Race Dynamix Impreza. Club Pro promotion for next year hopefully

Third in class, Marcus Webster in his Nissan Skyline R32 GTR

And a few randoms...

Middlehurst R35 GTR - UK built and authorised NISMO Club Sport Package

Richard Jones -Evo 8- Club 4WD - 1.18.2 - 13th overall

David Ward, BMW Mini -Club FF, 1.22.4, 21st overall


Not much info on this Porsche 933 GT3 on the timing sheets :(

Simon Deaton - Evo 8,Club 4WD 1.15.7 - 4th overall

Never mind 'precision driving and stunts' a 5 ton racing truck going around the track is the ultimate half time show

Steve Linton - Supra, Club RWD 1.20.01,16th overall, 3rd in class

Jamie Reynolds,Lotus Elise - Club RWD,1.16.1, 5th overall, 1st in class

So once again its Roger Clark Motorsport that take the overall title in 2009, but not as smoothly as in 2008. Will the opposition finally outclass them in 2010? Who knows.....

Its coming......

The 2009 Time Attack Final at Snetterton

Time Attack Round 6 - The Final

Seems I never have the time to update this blog, even though Im always promising I will!!

The final of Time Attack 2008 took place at Snetterton circuit

A morning fog held up proceedings for 2 hours so 1 less session and a lot less photos taken, oh well at least it wasnt raining

Pro Class

Well someone had to win and today for the 4th time in the season and sealing the 2008 Time Attack championship was Olly Clark in the Roger Clark Motorsport Subaru Impreza 'Gobstopper' with an amazing 1.09.8 - 2 seconds faster than the BTCC lap record

2nd was Steve Gugliemi in the Gugliemi Motorsport Lotus Elise 'Batmobile' with 1.10.4

An extremely committed drive from Jamie Stanley in the RC Developments Evo 6 getting 3rd with a 1.12.2. Not long after this event, RC Developments ceased trading

Simon Norris in the Norris Designs Evo 9GT was 4th with 1.14.2

Fifth was former BTCC driver James Kaye in the Auto Ergonomics Evo 8 with 1.14.4

Club Class
2007 Club Champion Kev Atkins in the MA Developments Evo 6 had his first win of the year with a 1.14.7

Second was Andy Forrest in the Lateral Perfomance Impreza with a 1.15.8

Third was Sam Kerr in the Performance Subaru Impreza with a 1.16.0

Fourth was Craig Winstaley in his Chevy V8 power Mazda RX7, with 1.16.5 which was also the top normally aspirated time



So a rather comprehensive overall win for the Roger Clark team, 4 wins, and 2 podiums, the team have raised the bar in both terms of performance and car preparation, and it will be interesting to see if anyone can equal or better their results in 2009
