They set themselves a goal of beating the Peugeots at Oulton Park, and they have taken steps to achieve that aim. A 1:29.860 qualifying time put Kurt Luby 0.3 seconds ahead of Peugeot's Dan Eaves, whilst Soper will start from the back of the grid following a rule infringement. The battle between Peugeot, JSM and ABG to be the fastest non-Vauxhall is one that the paddock and the fans are keeping their eyes on.<BR> <BR> Raceday looks promising as there are no major changes necessary and as Luby put it "I go better when I'm racing". Let's hope battle is rejoined tomorrow - if any of the Vauxhalls suffer mechanical problems, a podium may not be out of the question. </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
