I know what you mean. Hopefully next year will be different. 8)
Its a sticky situation, there are two types of people that buy the R....
1) The person that has all the dosh and spends years trying to get it at it's best and never puts it on the road.
2) The person that doesn't have endless pockets of cash but does what he/she can within his/her means to make the car better but cant afford to put it into time attack/other serious track events and pay for the 5 gearboxes it needs after every heavy track session.
We're fighting a losing battle here :lol:

Time Attack is just a rolling advert, nothing more nothing less.
Companies (tuners) pit their projects to see who makes the fastest car around the track (that’s not to say they are any good at what they do).
The ones that win or end up on the podium are the ones, "in the customer’s eyes" to be the most successful (so called) tuners. Then they pick up the phone on the Monday and book their car in at hefty cost. :shock:
The rest of the drivers, most are backed by/work for “tuners” in some way or form and the small minority are just doing it out of their own pocket.
Either way its no big deal; but Time Attack is not a race, its not motorsport, its just people razzing around a track with adverts all over their cars trying to flog you their services.
It’s as simple as that. ;-)
I don’t mind watching it as it entertains me for a few hours and combined with the EDC and shows makes a decent day out. Not only that its worth a few quid to catch up with mates, competitors and take the piss out of the Scooby owners stand. :lol:
If we do see a GTiR next year in TA I hope it does well and gives the other competitors a run for their money.

+1 Well put.
So the GTIR could be a mean machine of a time attacker .....but it;s all about the money in the end and no fun!!!!
Concluding anyway is the fact that all the cars inside time attack are really powerfull and most of them seem to be uncontrolable.....anyways I don't think that 800+ bhp can help you that much on the track because you will be powersliding and drifting all the time))

funny looking snetterton though :lol:
1) rishi
2) everyone else!
I think you could argue that a lesser man would have had trouble keeping that on the road - watch it twitch when he gets on the power and the NO2 kicks-in.
Same thing if you watch the TOTB videos, it's just understeering through all the cones.
In all fairness to Dave, he does a pretty good job keeping Craig's car straight on the strip, so maybe he could keep an 850BHP Pulsar on the track too.
Dave could handle the track and dave`s dad can definatly handle the track as he has raced many cars and bikes on the track.even been up against the cosworth touring cars.
I think if some of you spoke to a few of the drivers your options about time attack would change.
John Beech managed to finish 3rd in class, with 350-400hp with a stock engine and gearbox, Just had a good suspension setup and driver.
