Phil Quaife produced his best qualifying effort of the season before taking a double podium in series 17 and 18 of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Silverstone.

His free practice pace has promised and he duly converted in a first pole position in the category during qualifying Saturday. Proving that his best lap of 57.078secs was no Fluke, Phil appropriately matched on his next trip to guarantee also the top-instead of two race in a dominant display around the short but fast national configuration Northamptonshire circuit.The it suggested performance would be the man to beat come race day which will bring changeable weather. A dry track so that everyone opt for the slick rubber at the beginning where Phil found a good grip to drive in Copse for the first time.

The round five, however, his luck would change for the worse when a broken power-steering pump combined with a decrease in remuneration bottled its chances of obtaining a first victory Carrera Cup. Within five laps of his two seconds ahead was fixed and back with the car now too heavy to be checked, Quaife was forced to give the best of both Nick Tandy and Tim Harvey.

After trying his luck was teammate Saturday Hancock, for whom the best part of four towers made repeated attempts to pass the Porsche hit. After a long battle Hancock has made its performance advantage as snatch away the final podium position Phil who was forced to settle for fourth. As a consolation, he picked up points in the third after guest driver Nick Tandy won.

Race 2 would be fully operational in wet conditions and once again Phil is on the front row but excessive wheel spin-off of the line left him vulnerable to attacks. Championship leader Michael Caine made the greatest good to escape back against the wall and through a header in the first turn and rapid startup Hancock has also spent the field nervously the tip of your fingers around the opening lap.

Hancock found a way past Caine in Brooklands turn over two Quaife and the passage repeated three laps later and joined sister Jota sports car to open a gap on the rest of the field.

This time if it would be Phil's chance to take advantage of his team-mate of doom as a spin Hancock at the last corner on lap 10 dropped him to second. Quaife is now head and had it not been for the experience and guile Tim Harvey, took his first victory. The former champion BTCC humid time we served him as a good by a wide as it has leaders in an exciting battle before demolition with Phil for four of the last five laps. A courageous move at Brooklands on the penultimate lap to prove that the difference Quaife settled for second.

Quaife said: "I am a bit gutted to be honest especially if one considers that we had two poles and can not convert one. In the first, we went to the distance and obviously a failure we stole power. Then Saturday when he lost control of two race we had a fairly healthy lead but the pace of Harvey was unbelievable. However, the speed was clearly there for us just to convert that victory next time.

If the original 911 replaces the 964, then 993, then 996, the same echo through the slogan of the nation. "It is not as strong as the old. Feeling is gone. There is no longer such a challenge." Give us a break. The freight car, that's all. They were art. For 2001, the 964 C4 has simply sublime and brilliant direction feel real road. He appears every curve of the nose with ease, which you expect, and you know your hands when the tires, then think on their border. As the nose comes to a head, which felt like the surface of the Straits of changes in a curve that feel. As you press the accelerator, and the reverse side of the excavations in the nose, and the light will feel. And it is not all fall or clonkiness. The constant in the wheelhouse gossip is not a lack of sophistication, is the presence of life. The Carrera 4 is stable enough, in a straight line, even on roads cahoteuses, with a few who suffers maliciously cutting front, which his predecessor (which I never drove when new), and also his considerable tyred two drive wheels, and Turbo 964 RS - successor, I hard, and the seat is in me a deep certainty that I never really like to come, of the 911st Come now 996, did I start épris of 911s, but the old Carrera 4 showed me that I do not have all the old asphalt road with the same brush. I still remember the Carrera 2 fearful me not because they threw me out of the way, but because he always felt, even in a straight line, they wished. Allegations that the hike, tippy-toe front lighting. In C4, the nose is considered, rather than him, and it is vigorously housetrained that. And watched with 12 years of progress and will give you a car, it does not necessarily modern superpower liability or the speed, but the life, accuracy and pure chattiness, an Audi TT, also an Impreza, seem limited.

Porsche revealed an road-active version GT3 of the 996 series which was derived from the GT3 of packing. GT3 simply called outside, the light materials described by car inside and, including thinner windows, the GT3 were a lighter and of 911 more focused with the emphase on handling and execution. The suspension was lower and more aggressive with the other 996s, driving with the excellent handling and the razor-pointed direction although the turn was very very firm. Of more than importance was the engine used in the GT3. Instead of employing a version of the units water-cooled found in the other 996s, the normal-aspired engine was derived from the car of packing of sport-prototype GT1-98 of Porsche 911 and comprised the light materials which allowed the engine turn strongly.

Porsche 911 was developed like replacement much more powerful, larger, more comfortable for Porsche 356, model of the company the first, and primarily sporting evolution of the coleopter of Volkswagen. The new car made its public beginning at International the 1963 Automobil-Ausstellung, improve known of the english-speaking like exposure of engine of Frankfurt. It was indicated as “a Porsche 901” (901 being its number of internal project). Peugeot protested because they had the trade mark with all the names of car consisted three numbers with one zero in the medium. Thus, before the production started, new Porsche made change his name into 911. He went on sale in 1964.
