Please vote for Cassey in the Grand Prix Shootout at:-
http://www.driverdb.com/drivers/13653/ Snetterton was a difficult weekend for us all, we all knew the day would come when mechanical problems would happen but as we try to catch the 888 Solutions Honda Civic in the Championship we really didn't want them. However we finished so although we lost 3 points to the Civic we still scored and we keep the pressure on.
Our first problem came in qualifying, Alan went out first but only did 4 laps before a safety car period when it was decided to do the driver change. He set a time of 1.24.977, Cassey then went out and set a 1.23.170 on her first flying lap before coming on the radio to Eddie complaining the front was washing out, it was decided to pit and check tyre pressures. Cassey then went back out and although she set 3 consecutive 1.23s she was constantly on the radio complaining of an ever increasing vibration so she was called back in and it was discovered we had 3 broken wheel studs on the nearside front. With only an hour to the race it was going to be tight to rebuild the hub in time. However as usual the students got to work immediately and the car was ready to go on time. Afterwards it was discovered this had been caused by a failure to a torque wrench resulting in over tightening. |

Thanks for all your support and great to see some of you at Combe. There's some great pictures on here. Sorry we didn't post over the weekend but mobile internet connection was sketchy at best.
Anyway most of the team arrived at Castle Combe on Wednesday evening including picking up one of the new drivers, Alan Bonner, from Bristol airport after his flight down from his home n Scotland.
The plan for Thursday was for Alan to test all day, unfortunately though he only managed one session before the rain started and didn't stop for the rest of the day although he did have one run in the wet as well. As a track day was being held on Friday it was hoped that there would be an opportunity to run, but unfortunately the day was fully booked, so instead the team went shopping for new uniforms for the students.

Hi everyone,
Driverdb is a database of all the worlds racing drivers, it makes an interesting read. Anyway they do a league of the most popular drivers rated by links on their profile, since I left the BTCC package I have dropped out of the top 10 and am now 18th. It really helps in sponsor meetings to be able to show public awareness so if you could all visit my profile page at, http://www.driverdb.com/drivers/13653/ I'd really appreciate it.

MG Live review by Cassey Watson |

Hi Everyone
Here is my report on my MG Live track experience.
Firstly I'd like to say how much I enjoyed meeting everybody and I really appreciated the support. I look forward to seeing you at more races throughout the season.
So we arrived at Silverstone Friday morning in order to take part in a 20 minute test session, this was quite important as I had never driven the International Circuit before and it was also my first time in Peter's car. It took a while to adjust the seatbelts and pad the seat out, then it was time to go. Unfortunately after 4 laps the red flags came out and the session was cut short, however I managed a 1.45 which was the quickest lap the car had done at the track so that shows the developments the team are making to the car.
