This video documents YumYum Racing's participation in Round 3 of the Time Attack UK 2024 Championship at Cadwell Park on May 6th, 2024. The driver, Ben Robinson, discusses the team's history at Cadwell, noting previous incidents including two car fires, and expresses his goal of achieving a lap time in the 1:34s. He acknowledges the tough competition, including Darkside Developments' TCR car and a Caterham 620R.

During the warm-up session, the car experienced an incident where it was nearly taken out by two Honda Civics, and a coolant issue was discovered, indicating a potential head gasket failure. The team worked to flush the coolant system multiple times.

Despite the challenges, the qualifying session was successful, with Ben achieving a personal best lap time at Cadwell Park. He secured P1 in qualifying with a time of 1:32.400, which was only 0.001 seconds off his optimal time. The car felt confident, especially through the first corner, allowing for flat-out driving.

In the final, Ben managed to improve his time further, setting a new class lap record of 1:30.949 and winning the Club Pro category. He credits the strong competition from Josh Barrett (Caterham 620R) and Scott Parkin (Audi RS3) for pushing him to achieve this result. The team now faces the task of rebuilding the engine due to the confirmed head gasket failure before heading to Brands Hatch for the next round.
