Birkin Wins Class at Fabcar

Nope, not me.....

Congrats to Paul and his co-driver Rodger for winning the '1986-2008 up to 2-litres' class at the Fabcar rally. Given that all the clubmans were in the one class, he's managed to beat a number of (on paper) more powerful vehicles, including mine! Goes to show it's more about the driver and less about the car, so I've been searching for performance driver training courses in Perth. More on that later. I'm also booking myself up for an AMR Speed Event Series round at Barbagallo, plus another Superkhana before the end of the year.

In other news, the grass stage at Fabcar is apparently not going to be included in the overall results calculations - I think the conditions were somewhat other than expected, sot the results from that stage would probably have skewed the overall results too much. The guys at AEM have made a good call to discount it, even though for those who ran it, it looked like a lot of fun ;-)

The full results are yet to be posted, and the videos are still stranded on the camera, so no additional updates yet.

I had a look at all the race times and you did pretty well given the car is pretty new and it will take a little time to work out how to best handle it. Go for the win next year, at least in your class :)
