The season is creeping up - FAST! Lot's of new cars are making appearances on Facebook (how nice is that VW Miltek car?!).
I've sent an email over to the organisers for my entries this year.
So far confirmed I am doing:
Round 2 - Croft
Round 4 - Oulton Park
More than likely doing, but need to wait for my work schedule:
Round 5 - Donington Park
Round 6 - Brands Hatch
Sadly I cannot commit to Cadwell or to Snetterton which puts me out of entering a full season. However, with 2 (maybe 4) rounds to attend it'll certainly be fun for us!
The car has evolved considerably since last *year*. We were running lower power, with a faulty Rotrex, with parts that weren't quite there for track use.
I feel we've worked heard to create the car - and the R&D, testing and going back to the drawing board has caused many a row at home (!!!!). However, I'm going into 2013 with a head held high attitude, a bucket load of power under the bonnet and finally, some decent track time to give me some experience of the car.
The coming weeks are now critical - now the fuel pump has been installed, we're awaiting the new exhaust centre section coming back to us which will then enable me to get onto more tracks for final testing prior to strapping in for the first round at Croft.
So fingers crossed that the car pulls well, I manage to turn the right direction round the circuit and the brakes don't fade!!!
Looking forward to seeing this year develop for MiniTorque and the cars on here that may also be making appearance. I feel this year may be the biggest season yet for MINI's out on track in Time Attack!
