<p>We've spent considerable time working upon schemes and are pleased to confirm that after some extensive work and lobbying with regard to non-ABI listed vehicles (including Japanese imports).</p>
<p>For years we have had to adopt the ABI vehicle schedule, but with effect from today have schemes available to cater for models that are not ABI listed or recognised.</p>
<p>Many thanks to those of you who own these models and have shown patience to date. After all this time of having to turn away some great risks we are really pleased to be able to handle non-ABI recognised models (in particular Japanese imports) and we now look forward to hearing from you.</p>
<p>We have several supportive Underwriters, but do recognise that some models will not currently be present upon our online system.</p>

<p>The race was a 90 minute endurance race with 12 teams, each team with about 4 drivers. &nbsp;After 90 minutes Team Greenlight came in 3rd, 1st place went to a 4 man team of professional kart drivers who only had a 4 lap lead.</p>
<p>Here are some pictures but unfortunately fast karts and floodlights do not agree with a camera small enough to fit in your pocket under a race suit.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The eagerly awaited power uplift for Focus ST MP260 customers is now available from Mountune directly and their range of Ford PRO dealers throughout the UK and Europe.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The kit is based on the market-leading core of the MP260 and features a selection of additional hardware making it the logical next-step when the base vehicle warranty expires.

<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Power is increased to 290PS whilst peak torque is now a substantial (and RS equivalent) 440Nm which means 60mph can be reached in 5.6 secs with 100mph arriving in an equally swift 12.5 secs.</span></p>

<p><em>"The standard Ford concetena plastic air intake hose is prone to collapse under boost. As I intend to modify the car further with increases in boost pressure, this was one of the first things I wanted to address. SCC Performance in St Albans supplied and fitted a stronger silicone intake pipe.</em></p>
<p><em>Here is a picture of the hose I have fitted to my car, there is also a picture taken from the SCC website to show the standard hose collapsing under boost while on a rolling road session. &nbsp;</em></p>
