Massive thanks to the whole team for another huge achievement. I am way too knackered to even think about a decent post.right now.

Very well done Mike and the team, a well earned victory! Doesn't seem that long ago when you mentioned the meetings round the kitchen table, the turbulence in the team etc... I had a dream the other night that you won! The next bit is concerning, I won a little cash on the lottery and PX'd my car against your racecar and entered TA next year! :lol: Congratulations! Ka Chow! :D

Congratulations Mike, you've also improved the image of my car with our mechanic at work after he had a good look at yours at Silverstone the other week! So, what's next?

So an era comes to a close. I have had some awesome fun these last three years with Time Attack; firstly crewing for Jimmy to victory in 2011 then the two titles we lifted in 2012 and now 2013 and the most emotional is still the first that Jimmy won.

 

I have so many thanks to make to so many people so here goes.

 

Jimmy; thanks for taking the step into the unknown in 2011 and for giving me the chance to crew for you. It wasn't an easy season but you didn't give up.

 

Darcini; your belief and generosity got me on the grid in 2013 and without you, I may have competed but we would never ever have won.

 

Nelly; for the cash injection when I needed it and the whip round that got me off the Yokos and onto the Kumhos, that helped turn the championship for us.

 

NickB: for the loan of weapon X, they didn't know what hit them and if it hadn't been for the fuel cut out switch at Anglessey, we would have done a clean sweep at every round after we fitted it.

 

.org: for the continued enthusiasm and support both on the forum and at circuit coming to see me enjoy myself.

 

Wreelybro: for being my calming influence (mostly) at my window and for crewing the car these last two seasons.

 

GeorgeBC: for the help and support last season, our loss was Darron's gain.

 

2Deano5: for stepping in and filling George's shoes so well.

 

Techieboy: for the load of a brand new set of TDs and Toyo R1R's for use as our wets. You have a PM.

 

DarronWall: for coming and having a go in the donkey and for finally answering the ultimate question once and for all.

 

All the sponsors who won't read this anyway.

 

Finally: Chris_UK: it has been an epic journey these last three years and Chris has been there from the very beginning with Jimmy. He has helped build, develop and fix the car these past two seasons, been on hand to do driver analysis and beat me in my own car round Oulton.

 

Thanks thanks thanks to you all.

 

So what is next? The car is now road legal and I will get all the stickers off and I will use it again. I want to do track days again and drag the track day club back together (you know who you are) and stop spending too much on motorsport. Who knows what the future may bring and maybe I will find something else to do with the car, maybe it will just stay as a wicked track day car or maybe if the offer was right I would sell it.

Awesome Job lads I'm proud to have been a part of this. Will miss being at Time Attack next year but I think we've proved our point now! I'll definatley up for seeing No.95 back on at some tracks days and hopefully joining more of them myself next year.

 

Well done Team cracking job!

Well done Mike and the team!  :)

 

 

 

DarronWall: for coming and having a go in the donkey and for finally answering the ultimate question once and for all.

 

 

Is there really any need for a little dig? Your car and Darrons are completely different in levels of power, braking, aero and handling so hardly comparable and thats why you were in a different class. 

 

Anyway well done and im looking forward to seeing you at some more trackdays next year  thumbsup

Not a dig at all George, it was said with tongue firmly in cheek. As I have said in your stip down thread, you guys have done so well this year. You aint had it easy and to get third behing Umar and Ronnie is no mean feat.
