New recruit

Chris Hellings will join the Ti line up in the 1400,s for 2008. Chris has been around in the challenge for a couple of years but this is the first time we have had the opportunity to work with him.

Last year Chris suffered reliability problems, particularly related to head gasket failure though on investigation this was more likely to have been caused by one of the liner seals failing. Cooling system pressurised, similar symptoms to head gasket failure, different cause.

Chris will be using the engine that powered Paul Dark to his Championship and in its current form is producing 93bhp. During the year we are looking to find that extra couple of bhp to bring it up to the injected 106 version. [Not the XSI version which is rated at 100bhp]

Chris tried the car earlier & is really looking forward to the season opener next weekend
