Clio 197 Cup - Time Attack Build Progress

[Alistair]

Baby update, car's up with JD now for the rest of the season.
He did a quick check over the car today before monday's preperation day for brands and found one of my suspension bolts (cant remember where) was loose which isnt ideal. So hopefully that stays tight!

my new poly front windows came through also and got fitted, I have some track door cards arriving hopefully next week and the doors will get shaved down to bare minimum for weight saving .. one week left till round 4 at brands

wicked day yesterday, started off super wet and had a big spin which threw me off a bit, but it dried up and we got going .. 5th over all in class and almost on a 56 lap.

What a day this was .. been a while since I’ve been at Brands Hatch so it was great to get back.
Session one was super greasy, ended up have a spin and an off a couple laps in which threw me off unfortunately. Session two was cut short by 18 minutes due to a crash (and then luckily given back 10 minutes) ..
Qualifying went super well, was up on my original PB from practice, but we ended up 7th over all with room to push.
Finals came round, small spots of traffic but averaging 57’s was great all session long! Ended with a 57.071 which is a new PB for me putting us 6th over all (5th if you don’t count the single entry) which is awesome. Ended up infront of both K swap clio's as well.

First race with the team along side which great, less stressed during the day and the car was kept tip top and ready to go for each round (and i was pretty well looked after as well) which was VERY nice haha

Had a new sponsor come on for this season, as well as my local brewery wanting to help and show some support for me in my local area.

Track door cards very kindly agree'd to coming on board this year, so i'm not running theirtrack door cards which where a big change from the standard cards, as well as making it look more race cary
