Yesterday was the day to test and to learn....

I booked Phil Glew's services for the whole day yesterday to teach me a few things about how to drive imprezas fast. Having won Time Attack in 2007 with Zen Performance and won Brands last year with Zen too he seemed the perfect choice.

I am simply over the moon with how it went

Phil explained everything that he wanted me to do and I gradually built speed during the morning on low boost settings until the main learning points had stuck. At first, some of his suggestions felt alien but soon clicked and once nailed we moved on to others tips.

Then switched fuel to 50% E85/Tesco 99 and upped the boost and still the car felt balanced and well behaved. Wide was definitely a great plan.

Various tweaks were made to the car during the morning too but we were hardly off track in fairness all day apart from to let it cool down on occasion (and to allow me to take on fluids/food

)

Fantastic to have a completely incident free day, no dramas, no issues but also to test a few things and to learn lots from Phil. Highlight for me was playing with a Radical for a couple of laps ... he wasnt getting away until I missed a gear change doh.

wow !! ... Dunk, what a car mate ... well done - would have loved a pax lap too - you have built a stunning machine, now if only subaru would take the hint and copy your car for future designs.

Well done Dunk, it looks like all your hard work and money has paid off.

That is one stunning looking car. It's come a bloody long way since i first saw it when i met you with Cod on the way to Cadwell.

Can't wait to see it on track first hand. Good luck in this years timeattack.

PS i still have those Denison ipod sensors you lent me to try, i'll bring them to a meet when i finally get home for one....
