Tsukuba Super Battle 8-12-06

[Poida]

Howdy all

Just thought i might put up some pictures from the Tsukuba Super Battle held earlier this week. As the name suggests it was held out at Tsukuba Circuit (North of Tokyo) and organised by REVSpeed Magazine Japan. It was a really interesting event with non-stop track action and no silly midday talk-shows or other mumbo jumbo, just pure car action. I have to give a big thanks to Dino (Dino's Blog) for letting me go along with him and his assistant Shige. Top day!

Thanks for sharing, Peter(^ ^)

[Wink]

So is the Cyber Evo still the fastest around Tsukuba?

[D-limo]

Both those FD's are beautiful

[Trust33]

very,very nice.

i love the weight distribution with the radiator rear mounted.

[benm]

Wouldn't that just add weight?

[Sydneykid]

Wouldn't that just add weight?

Thin walled alloy pipe from the front to the rear, hardly any extra weight in that.

Moving a handfull of kgs from the front to the rear, well every little bit helps.

Especially when you start off with such terrible weight distribution.

cheers

i didn't see any Z-tunes in those pics?

Its got the same colour scheme but not much else. I think he means the V-Spec II looking thingie with the black Enkei wheels.

I just want 60k to build the ultimate R32 GTSt

Wow, that looks like it was a good day...

Dino writes a fair bit for HPI, so i'm sure if he was there he'll do an article..

Looks good, can't wait for the next Best Motoring..

Just read this on dino's blog:

●Tsukuba Super Battle 2006 (Rev Speed Magazine)

This is THE event of the year for me. This is what I enjoy the most, fast modified cars out on track proving what they can do. Fastest car this year was the M-Speed GTR which managed a 55.230 sec lap with Tanaka-san behind the wheel. Yamada-san drove the Cyber Evo (now built & looked after by Unlimited Works, not Garage HRS) and posted a 55.864 sec lap. Third place in the lap time rankings went to the R-Magic FD3S with a 55.947 sec lap.

Two days prior to the TSB 2006 Taniguchi broke the track record for a modified car with the HKS CT230R posting a 53.999 sec lap. Modified cars are all getting extremely fast nowadays and its always so enjoyable to be there in person seeing tuners battle it out. I'm already looking forward to next year's event!
