Jamun Racing 2008 Champions
However in British Formula Ford the secret of Jamun’s success last year is out, and consequently a large percentage of the field has now switched also to RS5 pads, making the Championship victory this year that little bit more difficult. Wayne Boyd also added the Formula Ford Festival crown to his British Formula Ford Championship win, capped his title-winning season with another memorable victory to claim victory at in the historic Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch after claiming the 2008 British Formula Ford title at Donington Park in the last round.
Boyd said: "It was a pretty tough race for me. On the race track it's hard to keep your concentration but I kept putting in the quick laps and really went for it. Winning the Festival and the Championship in the same year is just mega and I have to say a big thanks to my team, my managers, my sponsors and my dad for making it possible. It's a team effort and they've all done a great job." |

The success of PAGID RS is truly Global
The three drivers D.Nicholas / Darryl O. / WS Mok beat there nearest rivals by 4 laps, which proved a strong result for them against 77 competitors in a maximum starting grid. There was a large variety of machines with the Top 10 dominated by a mix of 6 x 997 and 996 Porsches, a BMW Z4M Coupe, a Holden Commodore, a Honda S2000 and Honda Integra. The Teams 2008 spec 997 GT3 RSR ran faultlessly for the full 12hours, and of course so did the PAGID RS29 brake pads which comfortably completed the distance with plenty life to spare, with only minor wear on the brake discs.

Thorney Motorsport
The VX220 will use the 2.2 Ecotec engine, using a custom Thorney Motorsport/Webcon throttle body conversion. It uses up-rated Schrick cams, an up-rated cylinder head with double valve springs and ported inlets. The exhaust is custom Milltek Sport with a custom TMS equal length tubular manifold. The car has also had substantial aerodynamic work, focusing on the rear clam, which has been converted to a coupe with an extended diffuser package, and what can only be described as a “substantial rear wing”. Brakes come courtesy of AP Racing with 4 pot calipers up front and 2 pot rear calipers, mated to bespoke 2 piece discs with aluminium centre bells, and of course PAGID RS29 brake pads! Another interesting feature of this car is the in car camera set up. Inside the car 2 cameras are positioned with dual picture display, one shows the driver, the other shows the drivers view from the cockpit. These images are beamed live to 40” Samsung LCD TV’s in the pit lane and paddock so spectators can watch the race live from the drivers view. The images are also streamed to Thorney’s website www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk so the race can be watched live from a pc, and at the circuit can be watched from an iPhone or similar wireless enable PDA. Full details of this system can be seen at Lincc.tv. Paragon Porsche We are also pleased to be working with Paragon Porsche with their newly acquired Porsche 997 GT3 RSR, which runs PAGID RS29 pads, and a Sachs Race Engineering Carbon Clutch package. Paragon took a class victory and 3rd overall in last year’s race, and are moving up a class into GT3, so who knows what might happen? However there 997 is very new to them, and they have had only limited time to prepare for the race, but we keep our fingers crossed for them. BMW M3 E92

Newcastle Racing updates: The ‘NR5’ car successfully competed in the UK ImechE Formula Student 2008 at Silverstone in July. It entered as a Class 1 entry and completed all the static and dynamic events, finishing in the top ten of the UK universities. The overall winner was Stuttgart from Germany The ‘NR6’ team have been busy finalising the design of their car in order to produce drawings for manufacture. They entered as a Class 3 entry in the Formula Student competition this year to gain experience for the following year. Their concept was scrutinised in the way of a design, cost and marketing presentation, as well as reports submitted prior to the event. The team responded well to questioning and learnt some valid lessons which will no doubt help them in the year to come. The plan is to begin the manufacture of the aluminium/foam composite chassis in September and have a fully operational car by January, so that there will be plenty of development time available before the 2009 event. Due to the tight timescale's, the team are constantly looking for sponsorship to allow the build to occur. They are also looking to combine with a local manufacturer to allow them to build the majority of the car away from the university.
