Funny how the engine was the problem last year and they continue to use Lehmann.

Not that you can draw any conclusions from that.  :wink:

I do hope they get it sorted.

I know but Lehmann have big history with VW Motorsport and building race engines. It's not like they're a small outfit. But it depends if the Leon engine is built by them too...Special Tuning have not said who's building it but it is a well known outfit. If both are done by Lehmann...then Shaun will be quite peeved if his one is deemed to be lacking in ooompah.

damn...that speed differential is not good.

but hey ho its early days. But is it the engine tho that's underpowered?

but Boardman is using that same engine?  So if his is fine, maybe were looking to far into it.  Could be a minor issue.  who knows.  The missus wants to go out for mothers day tomorrow, but i said she would miss the touring cars and wouldnt wish that on her, especially on mothering sunday.

I tell you who im keen to do really well, and thats Nicholas Hamilton.  He takes his first ever race in a clio cup race car tomorrow


i for one would love him to do really well, hes always looked dead chuffed for lewis when ever he has raced.  I jhope hes right up there in the midfield.  Cant see him getting any higher on his debut.  Its a pretty insane race, more entertaining than the BTCC for overtaking and crazy overtakes as well.  lewis is doing a 13k round trip to be there as well.

He's already had his first race yesterday, qualified last and finished last but good on him for having a go tho! Not like he's had the same experience from young age as Lewis so it's bound to take a bit of time for him to get used to it

TCR will give him a good car, but the Clio's are really competitive so he will take a few races to get to grips with the car before he can start mixing it with the mid field pack. Plenty of testing needed methinks!!  :smiley:

Why not hand the car over to Revo........................ only thing they would then need to do is have several engines in back up in case Revo keep up their Reputation   :chicken:
