Time Attack Mondello 2009
The series kicked off at the end of March this year and for the first three rounds, Martin has been running the Ford Sierra RS500.
We've had a great response from everyone, delighted to see the 2wd Ford out with the other 4wdJapanese cars.
After the first three rounds of this years Time Attack in Mondello Park, only 2 points seperate the top four drivers, see below.
There are three more rounds left in the championship series.
The September round will be run at the Japfest event, so I'm sure we'll see theMitsubishi Evo out for one or two events before the end of the series.

This years Time Attack Series was a great sucess for both Pro Class and Club Class entrants. Pro Class and Championship winners were tuned at Westward Engineering.

Fiat Punto Abarth Cup Race Series
In
2002 we were contracted to supply and install engine management
systems for the new Irish One Make Race Series, "Fiat Punto
Abarth Cup". We have successfully used EFI
Euro 1 for this application. This was a complex operation and
we were very happy with the results. These cars in standard form
produce 136 bhp. After fitting and mapping, the engines produced
163~165 bhp. This was achieved with no internal modifications to
the engine.
Part of the criteria for this race series was that the cars were
to be equal in terms of power and torque. Out of 19 cars completed
so far, there is only 3bhp. between them.
