As the second drive in Colin Spark’s Hyundai Coupe Evo F2, I was beginning to get more confident with the car. It was worlds away from the heavy rear wheel drive mustang and I was soon able to throw it into tight bends and keep the engine buzzing at high revs to get adequate torque coming out of corners. By the end of the day, I had still not fully explored the limits of the car but I was satisfied that I was getting closer. With more time in the car I could certainly have moved up one place to beat the BMW Z3, but overall 6th out of 10 cars gave some useful championship points.
