However Snetterton was a turning point for Bo where he managed to clinch his first victory of the season giving him a boost in the overall championship standings.
Oulton Park was the first round of Time Attack 2013 to experience summer weather.
With temperature soaring all week there was no doubt that round 4 was going to be hot.
Having done some development work between rounds 3 and 4, Bo was feeling comfortable with the car;
"Owen Development have come on board for the rest of the season with me changing the whole turbo setup and mapping just 5 days before we came to Oulton.
I did some testing at Brands Hatch on Tuesday and was so happy with the work. The car was so drivable and well balanced compared to before."
It is safe to say that Bo was feeling up to the challenge smashing the times set by his competitors in FWD at Oulton Park.
During warm up and practice, Bo set the pace of his car, knocking seconds off his times down every lap.
Going into qualifying Bo knew he had set times to match the front runners of the championship, mike Cantello and Charlie Butler Henderson.
Bo once again proved that his Vauxhall Astra is a force to be reckoned, placing himself second in class for qualifying.
Happy with his position, Bo knew he would have to work to maintain it in the final.
The times were as hot as the track, and Bo was battling it out right until the checkered flag.
With a final time of 1.53.751 it was enough for him to secure second in class overall, adding those all important points to his total.
Bo was pleased with the cars performance:
"The car felt brilliant right up until half way through qualifying when I started to struggle with under-steer.
"Later I found that I had driven the final with a broken front damper and had snapped the anti roll bar- it wasn't just bad tyres as I though."
"I want to say a big thank you to all my sponsors, especially Mark and Lee from Owen Developments for getting the card sorted out with a new turbo setup with such a short time frame."
