Time Attack - 2014

[Stuart]

Mate, how long have you and Bart dabbled with TA? 4 years? Whatever the length of time, you know the score by now and whilst loads of notice would be good it is one of those things. I'm sure if the TA guys could have announced a tyre sponsor/deal/partner they would have done so all you can do is budget whatever a set of tyres costs in your size and go from there. I would imagine that it must drive you guys mad but this isn't the first or last time it's happened.

Surely with you guys wanting to take part over and above all else that must help? (As opposed to only taking part to collect trophies)

Easy for me to say 'don't stress' but 8 weeks is a lifetime in motorsport terms when the car is 95-99% done.

I expect certain things to be last minute but it just seems that it gets worse every year. I'm trying to sort out sponsors but they all want info on this years championship and the only thing I can say is 'Here are the dates'.

I've got an inbox (emails) full of half conversations.

[Stuart]

So is it that your potential sponsors want to see who else is sponsoring the series this year? That makes sense and is a different argument I guess.

Ok, go back to ranting!

Hmmmm??????

Is that rule by chance so that the spectators who have ventured to watch the Time Attack cars compete in Time Attack (ie. the Time Attack cars with the big Time Attack decals all over them) know for certain that it is in fact a.....um....Time Attack car?

I understand the need for advertising/raising the profile of the series but I'm not too sure that the number plate thing is really necessary


but hey what do I know?

[pablo]

I think i'll email that one to Alan, far safer that way. He doesn't like being told to change his design or where he must put stickers on the car.

Since the beginning we have run with an 'XR4Register' rear number plate.

At least the plates are free issue . Pete

So was the XR4Register one:D
