Well done everyone!

First time I'd been to TOTB for 3 years and was amazed at the number of people who were competing with MR2's and as mentioned, the good atmosphere between the different MR2 tuning companies.

I even interupted one chap (bloke with glasses and Rogue shirt on) to beg for some help on my own MR2 that half died on the way to the event and he took some time to try and help.

I've got loads of pics and video so over the next few days I'll put em all online.

Cheers

Rikki

Had a great day out! Glad me meet some new faces and catch up with the old school MR2 gang.

Great team spirit on the day ! Sorry I didn’t get a chance to chat with more people on the day but it was a fairly hectic schedule trying to get the handling runs in (spent most of the day queuing) & buggering about with tyre pressures.

Brilliant result for the Team MR2, roll on TOTB 7.

PS_ big thanks the Michael for the time & effort put in on the organising.

[royashmr2]

woooooo!

I've been walking round with a permenant smile on my face today - thanks for the great comments.

Everyone in the team played a fantastic part and next year by the looks of things it only going to get better and better.

Nathan

[Steve Horrocks]

Awesome day guys & some awesome results!!!

Sounds good doesn't i Nath, 4th fastest 2 in the world, sure a few more runs can get that number lower!

[Century Motorsport]

Well the ign was retarded 2 degrees from when it was mapped on the 10.4 run. We did put the 2 degrees back into it and added some more gain to get the boost higher (2.4bar ) but never got the run in

Bare in mind, i run the longer final drive and elvington is supposed to be about 1.5 - 2 tenths down on the pod so i think that a 10.2 would be possible at santa pod with everything singing - maybe quicker but who knows? ?

The car will be stripped and done for Jap show finals with the bodywork looking a bit nicer by then as its looking tatty now.
