Wow what a great car to drive! Breaks and Suspension were awesome!
But there were issues with the engine cutting out at 4500-5000 rpm. we suspect a leak in the turbo hose.

ARDS Race Licence!
Well yesterday I successfully completed my ARDS Race Licence exam at Silverstone.
This was a full day of training, lectures and examinations, both written and in car.
The main driving on track was in Renault Megane Renaultsport 250Hp, which thankfully was very forgiving!
We also had some fun sliding a Caterham 7 around and a skidpan car!
I would like to thank both of my race driving instructors:
Andrew Bentley http://www.andrewbentley.com
&
Rob Barff http://www.robbarff.com
Who's help on the day was invaluable!
