Gtr Vs The V8 Supercars

[gun32gtr]

after watching the great race on the weekend i was thinking would our mighty gtrs still keep up?current model...

im sick of watching the holden/ford thing would be great to see some gtrs,evos,wrx in the race...

[Bumblebee]

the R32GTR still has faster lap times than the current crop

[Tomek]

32 holds the un-official lap record at 1.53 or there abouts. Not sure how true this statement is, seeing it's a good 10+ seconds quicker then the current V8's best.

[giant]

is that true! if a 32 still runs a faster lap then thats simply awsome!

[lingeringsoul]

its sad there isn't a skyline vs evo vs wrx sponsored races.

All these skylines sitting in the garage collecting dust.

[Wink]

What I want to see is JGTC/Super GT cars versus V8 Supercars!

[gun32gtr]

yes its very very sad there not aloud in the race,just because they are quicker..

if the gtr infact does have that lap record that bloody is freakin unreallllllllll

[lingeringsoul]

man...someone sponsor me, I'll enter my gtst for god sakes.....that'll make it fair

There you go guys, its the race record and not the lap record that hasnt been broken yet

Still cool though...

[RNGTR]

2:08.4651 is the lap record set this year.... the GTR was in the 2.13s or something from memory.

A pretty good time considering the aero aids that are allowed today!

I think the DTM cars will chew em up and spit them out. They all have different restrictions etc, so you can't truly compare em. Would be awesome if someone would come up with a global touring car championship... I guess like the Mixed Martial Arts Championships for GT cars

DTM > JGTC > BTCC > V8 Supercars > Nascar (yeehaw)

Would be an awesome sight but, wouldn't be fair. The Super GTs would need to have some restrictions in place. Going by lap times on circuits like Sepang, Motegi & Phillip Island - Super GT > Moto GP > V8 Supercars.

Well after watchin an interview with some race director dude, who was with the euro tourin cars and aussie cars as well as the americans and F1.. he says the JGTC cars are the fastest GT style cars on the planet.. and i dont think his wrong

[gun32gtr]

be good to skaife do a couple hot laps in the old 32gtr again see what sort of times he could get out of her..

Aero aids on the V8s? Like I know they have wings and stuff...

Also, when did that extra chicane go in?

Given the type of race I would have thought the lemans series cars probably would have been best suited.

yer i just checked the records.. they still hold the Race record of 6hrs and 19mins.. current crop from 2000 onwards r still a fair way.. even the VR was closer with 6hrs and 20mins.. hahah now theyre doin 6 hrs 29mins

god bless the monster the R32 truly is

Gun,

I personally think that given the right rules, it'd be dammed interesting...

If you looked the way that the Performace cars ran round the mount, and in many ways were quicker over the top, then a well setup GT-R with the power could be the package to win...

As others have said, it'll be the restrictions and rules that kick it in the bum...

ffs, the '32s IIRC, are still restricted on the intake for AUS circuit racing??

yeh very intersting indeed.

i remeber watching some old vids of the race when the gtr was in it and really it was so unfair they just made the v8 catrs seem very very dismal
