On Saturday 28th of July Maltese racing driver Josef Calleja took part in 4th round of the United Kingdom MSA Time Attack Championship at Oulton Park Circuit. 

This year Calleja has moved to a higher class known as Club Pro 4WD which means that now can run his Subaru on a fully sequential gearbox but still uses semi-slick tyres. 

It was another successful race as Calleja's target was, besides winning his race, to put his name down with the elite lap record holders for Club Pro 4WD to compliment the lap record he set earlier at Oulton Park Circuit in the lower Club 4WD class. 

This seemed to be not an easy task since the record stood for the last 8 years at 1:29.917, however Calleja broke this record with the amazing lap time of 1:28.568.
