Well following a hard but very successful season in 2009, we have been busy with rebuilds and updates to the car.
So far, the differential has been rebuilt and updated with a new FDR, last years suspension has been sold to make way for new dampers from AVO, the engine has been completely stripped and inspected, the brakes have been returned to John at Performance Braking for review and inspection and a new gearbox has been sourced from Ireland, which hopefully will resolve some of the issues experienced last year.
Unfortunately, with Karen and I moving house and the amount of work required to finish the car, we are not going to make the first race of the season. Silverstone is the target for a first run in the car and hopefully missing the first round of the season will not harm our chances in the Championship.

Autosport Show
In the last few years we have given the Autopsort Show a miss due to the change in the focus of the show away from the club racer. This year we decided to attend in order to give us the chance to meet some of our new partners and also catch up with our existing supporters.
In particular, it is worth mentioning 2 specific partnerships:
AVO Suspension
AVO have ageed to support FWR with their best dampers available. The kit will be built specifically for the Sierra and with their experience and technical know how we are expecting the AVO suspension to make a significant improvement to the already well handling Sierra. We can't wait to get our hands on the dampers towards the end of March!
Performance Braking & Alcon
John and Gill have been keen supporters of our efforts over the last year or so. John has unrivaled knowledge in braking systems following years of experience in the industry. Ben at Alcon has been very supportive with recommendations and advice and their product is extremely good and a rival for any competition equipment. We trust their input completely and we think there is no coincidence that the Sierra is one of the best performing cars in the Championship under braking.
