Time Attack 2010 Brand Hatch

Design911 in conjunction with Regal-Autosport entered their modified "Big Bore" 3.8ltr Porsche 996 twin turbo into the Brands Hatch round of the Time Attack series, the car was prepared, and only finished a few days before the event, the roll cage was bolted in place the night before so no time for pre-testing. We were thrown in amongst “the big guns” Pro-Class, this is mainly where the tuning companies come out to commence battle with their awesome machinery and this Class has now become the benchmark for tuners to showcase exactly what they can achieve with a lot of the top machines putting down lap times that are faster that that seen within BTCC and other established racing formulae.

The Porsche 996 turbo was originally built to test the DesignTek performance products range to the extreme for road and track use. The Porsche is fitted with a range of DesignTek parts like Sports Exhaust with 100 Cell High Flow Catalytic Converters, Turbo Charge Inter-coolers, Boost Pipes, Induction Filter, Brakes Calipers and Disc, 6 Point FIA Harness, Coolant Radiators and much more.

Strapped in the drivers seat was Porsche Carrera Cup driver Tony Gilham focused and ready for the challenge. Both the driver and vehicle performed brilliantly qualifying 4th in class and “the fastest Porsche” on track.
