Christopher Welshy Hamer's Blog (34)

Ok... Soo we have moved on loads since my last entry.  When I last updated this Blog, we had a New Shell and started to install the cage....

We are further down the line at the moment with the Engine being complete, Cage in and Fabrication can Start on the Fuel system, intercoolers, brakes , lines bla bla bloody Blaa.

As i'm sure, people who have started from scratch can feel the teams pain,  But Team Forge has the ability to reproduce any part in house which…

We are almost getting there .. Cars coming together Nice and we are well on Route to Global Time Attack.  If you want to keep tabs on the Build and the Team then please Buy Japanese Performance for The Monthly Feature we have there, first one is out.  Also on Twitter @chrishamerforge and @ForgeMotorsport.

Ok Formalities out the way, what an Epic few months I have had spending a lot of it back and fourth to America…

To Say I have not been running around like mad the last few weeks finalising everything would be a understatement....

Before I start big Thanks to Peter, Alex, Chris , Luke And the Team for undertaking such a huge huge Commitment in prep for are Attack on the USA in Global Time Attack.

Also need to say thanks to the Boys At Cobra For the unreal design and product they produced for us over the last week…

Hi All,

So yesterday I was lucky enough to meet with my New 2013 sponsors Cobra and get a insight into the Work that goes into a FIA Seat.  …

Well the last few weeks have been pretty Epic to say the least, New Sponsors have come and the old have gone.

What has that Left us?!?

Well The British Time Attack has always thrown up Great Cars but we like to put our necks out and push the limits.

So not only are we competing in the British Time Attack this…

Ok So 2013 is our biggest year yet with Races in Europe and States with the possibility of Pikes peak looking strong.

So lots have changed with New Cage, New Engine, Sequencial Gear Box, New Weight of 960kg, Carbon Doors

Its fair to say that 800bhp with 960KG is going to be a monster and hard work but we are ready.  We also off to the States on 9th of Feb Too Hook up with our Sponsors Garrett and a few more.  So a few pictures below…

Big thanks to sponsors Hel and Didi Customs for this beauty will look great when complete.…

 …

After a Crazy up and down season we are getting ready to do it all over again.... Lots of things have happend over the last few weeks and we have confirmed some new Sponsors such as Cobra and HKS which always brings excitement to the team ...

Engine will be a HKS 2.3 stroker with the Garret GTX40 providing the punch needed to challenge for the Championship.  Power wise we are still undecided but expect in the range of 720bhp - 800.  

As for other upgrade we have…

Well how do I Start apart from what a Epic Weekend and a roller coaster it was.... Forge pulled out all the stops and made for whats one of the years Best shows by far.  So Big up to the Forge Team.

Friday the car was rebuilt and the car was not finished until 4am in the Morning before we made the trip to Combe.…

So we have managed to get seen out in the middle east and states with this cover feature of the car …

Well im sure you Lot have seen the Evo by now and I decided to do a little blog on the Team.  In fact we are a 2 Car Team, Also the only Time Attack Team to put both Drivers on the Podium at one event in the History of Time Attack....  Takes a lot to get us to the track and I have to say what a amazing Team we have.. All sorts of Background's From Aerodynamic Geeks to Mechs its works   …

Following on from my last blog on weight loss,, heres some more .. What best to start with the mighty Plasma Cutter.... Tool of choice and mega fun..

Who needs Inner Skins there a waste …

Well is Power Every Thing?? Its ok to have 800bhp or 1000bhp in some cases but this means nothing when your dragging 2ton of metal around..

So This is what we did....

we got a Plasma in the Early days and cut the shit out of it Eurospec Style ( If in Doubt Cut it out )…

Its been such a busy First season for us with the Evo and new Team members and so on.  We have had our fair share of things going wrong and this is to be expected in the first Season of any race team.  What I did not expect was to be battling it out for podium finishs this early in the Development of the car.  Theres some well developed cars in the Series and have the reliability which comes with time and development.

If we go back to the First Round Cadwell Park,  Never been…
