Team ZEN have been stringing you all along a little bit, as on the 1st of this month we decided we would build up the car and contend the 2009 Time Attack series in full.

I think, for the most part, we managed to hold on to the secret! As ever, it has been a herculean team effort over the last 24 days and my most sincere thanks go to the following people (in no particular whatsoever)…

Paul Blamire, Tim Farmer and Richard Cope - Team ZEN.

Andy Tregarthen, Fred Walton, David Wallis, Roy Kunz, Steven Darley, Steve Fullbrook, Duncan Graham and Gary Butler - great friends of Team ZEN.

AET Turbos / Turbosmart, EXE-TC Competition Suspension, NAB Water & Environment, R J Morris Services, Design Dynamix and Jon Moss Photography for their continued support.

Cosworth, Compbrake, Rays Wheels, Solaris and Volans, Leach & Schofield for coming on board as new supporters.

I have endeavoured to keep a diary of the build over the last 24 days and wherever possible taken photos of progress. Below this post, that diary appears as a series of blog entries, so you can share in the agony and the ecstasy of deciding to enter Time Attack with just 24 days to sort engine, ECU and loom, brakes, wheels and body / aero!

I will Twitter updates throughout the day tomorrow from Oulton Park, which can be followed directly on Twitter, or viewed on the right hand sidebar of the blog… Thanks for your support!
