What fuel were you using? I went through a tank in the evo i was driving (gtr broke lol, story of gtr ownership really) and im pretty sure we went through about 4 tanks in the WRX (30l).
Spot on about it taking ages for tyres to come on, was sooo shit. Congrats btw, great placing considering some of the cars you were up against. You have a well setup combo there Was great to watch you come onto the main straight too
