Congratulations go out once again to Paul Martin, who we sponsor. All of his racing success in the UK earned him a spot in Japanese Performance magazine. For those of you that don't subscribe, I've scanned the article so you can have a peek below. Follow the thread on evolutionm.net

Yes had a two day meet at Harewood Hill Climb . Saturday was cold but mainly dry and Paul managed a 1st in class, Sunday was mainly wet all day and he had an off into the gravel trap! Not much damage-just front splitter; but managed a 1st place again.

Not a bad weekend! Out again this friday this will be the 9th event this year.

Paul was at Harewood Hill Climb track this past weekend.

The track was very wet in the morning but dried out in the afternoon. He had a very good day as he broke his previous lap record set the last time out, 62.51 and now a 62.36, "Very happy with the car, it just seems to be getting better.

Paul Martin runs at Rockingham Sprints. Details to follow.

Did very well at the weekend! It was the first round of the MLRSS @ Silverstone And i got first in Class 4 and overall Win. It was a close day!

Sunday we were at Harewood Hill Climb for a practise day. Went very well! It was cold but dry and the last three run i broke the lap record on each run. The record is 62.92 sec and my best was a 62.7.

Paul competes in the MLR Super Sprint series and has finished 4th overall in 2007 and moved up to 2nd in 2008. The best standing Km time Paul has posted is a 19.03 seconds @ 173.3mph. The best ET to date is a 10.58@133 on road racing tires and suspension.

Paul also competes in the TOTB (Ten of the Best) competition in the UK and finished 9th overall out of over 100 cars. Not bad for a street legal car that tips the scales at 3,020lbs.

TOTB is a performance road car event, aimed at finding the best allround car in Europe. Handling, top speed and the 1/4m drag strip are used to determine the outcome. All the cars that compete in our main road class competition are road legal, taxed, tested and insured. There is also a new "pro-drag class" for the ultimate drag only cars. Many of the cars that compete at TOTB are modified, some to the extreme. Many of the entrants have built and modified their own vehicles, while others represent the cream of the crop from the Tuners and Garages that specialize in the type of cars we see competing. Points are awarded in each of the three events overall, making it extremely difficult to score points in all events unless the car and driver are on top form on the day! The Pro-Drag class will have its own shootout final and trophy, with regular head to head runs during the day.

Paul was also featured in the Mitsubishi Lancer Register's publication, Wastegate Chatter. The car was driven by an independent third party who set a new track record. To top it off, the record was set on a wet track surface! "...the acceleration is staggering, akin to firing a ram jet; in only 110 feet the car accelerates to 108mph! But it is also the shear response of this big tubro'd car that amazes me, with very very little lag in the lower gears."
