Hi All,
Just to let you know that unfortunately panel shop repairs will not be completed in time on the focus, therefore we will NOT be competing on the weekend in the PTCC round at Calder. The team is dissappointed that we were unable to meet the deadline, but on the other hand it means the focus repairs and complete overhaul can now be finished without rushing, necessary maintance can be done and testing prior to the next round which is at Wakefield Park 27 & 28 October. Attached is a photo at the panel shop. Regards, Best Racing |

Do you feel that after the rebuild and subsequent testing, the ST170 may be a quicker car??

We can only hope that the car will go quicker!

Guys even though you aren't going to Calder this weekend....what a great job you have got the car up to the stage you are at now! It was a big repair. I hope all the best with the car and to Darren.....we will show the rest of the field what a Euro Ford can do. :d

Thanks for the updates, it's good to see the car coming along in its repair. Hopefully it'll be back together and faster than ever.
