- Team Associated TC5 - Oli Meggitt - Bachley, UK - 2008 -

 

By the end of the weekend the car was superb. Through Qual it was good, putting the car 4th on the grid was my best result so far in the series. Continued to work on the car during the finals. First final saw a steady, solid run remaining in 4th for the whole race. Second race was a disaster, the car in front braked a whole lot earlier than I expected going into turn 1 so then it was a recovery drive from 10th, only got as high up as 8th as a few mistakes crept in. Last final and I changed the droop. Completely transformed the car and it was now spot on. Jumped into the lead going through the first complex of corners and never looked back.
