“We started the 2008 season on the Brean Stages Rally in January, but have been battling to sort out the Brakes since buying the car in late 2007” says Tim Self. “ Having replaced them with the latest competition, Brembo callipers the car seemed great at the 3 Counties Rally in March but we lost 2nd gear after the third stage and had to retire”

RALLY REPORT JULY 08
Tim Self and Barry Luxton recently completed the Rallying UK.com – “Smeatharpe Stages” tarmac Rally in Somerset. The weather was very dry and hot which suited the high powered, light weight two wheel drive classes, many of whom finished in the Top ten. “We would have preferred some damper conditions” explains Tim Self “our four wheel drive, Subaru Impreza is more competitive in the slippery conditions”. The car performed very well, the service crew only needing to satisfy its considerable appetite for new tyres throughout the day. Despite this the pair went on to finish 10th overall and 5th in class.
