Yep, copied the results here (but they're not very clear after a screen grab and photobucket upload :lol: )

:rock: Well done Al - so you were 15th overall and the top 3 guys in the class above you were in positions 8th, 9th and 10th.
Not so much to take off to get with the guys in 9th and 10th, but that Cayman Cup is more than a bit quick!!!

Next month, 24th and 25th. You lot will be there for Modified Live on the 25th ;)




A small titbit of information to illustrate how much faster the car is compared on how it used to be. The gap between my car now and well driven Ferrari 458 Italia (4 seconds) is less than the gap between between my car now and how it used to be (5 seconds).

Brilliant result 8-)
I had a chuckle to myself when some of your competitors came over to see your car and were totally shocked when you told them it was a 2.2 NA engine in the lude :D

I think its worth mentioning that not only is the car much quicker than before but it is so smooth and seemed to handle the abuse of the track so easily. It really is an awesome car, and as vanzep mentioned it drew lots of attention, from the competition and commentary team aswell :D. Cant wait till the next round!!
