Hi guys.

I usually race something Italian and 4wd but engine issues meant I swapped in favour of an evo 4. The evo performed really well considering it is really a track car with only modest performance modifications.



The short story goes… I qualified 7th, made it up to 4th, droped back to 9th during the pit stops, made it up to 6th, could have got 5th if it wasn’t for brakes, lost boost 3 laps to go, ran out of fuel on the last lap!

There was a Impreza in the same race here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LklE3qY8JHU and a more modern one in a different series here who sadly also ran out of fuel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k9f2-A9kHw

As it happens, gear box problems last year meant I also had a go with it April 17, that time things didn’t go as well and we ended up withdrawing the car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHryJZU0saQ and a track day previously: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnF0C8Z2jO8

The car is available for hire on track days or racing if anyone fancies giving it a go. Give John a call at www.jjperformance.co.uk. If any of you are at JapFest, we are racing on the international circuit (the other side of Silverstone) so feel free to come along and say hi (http://www.lanciadeltaracing.com/).

Any questions please ask!
