Bris, let the Stig drive your car, let's see if that RB20 really is indestructable.. 'guarenteed to break your car and your PB'.....

[Adz]

Here is some in car footage

[evade]

cool vid adz..rear end looks like it just wants to slide hehe

[NickR33]

it doesn't look too badly setup, maybe just go a bit softer with the rear springs... she is a little taily lol... with more rear grip you should be able to get on it a bit earlier but it certanly turns in well... nice driving:)

[Adz]

Let me asure you the footage does not do the car any justice.

This is by far the hardest thing I have ever driven. The only indication of this is how quickly I have to put my hand back on the steering wheel after a gear change.

The springs are curently too soft as the car is now wider this acts as a extended leaver to compres the spring, damper and sway bars. This coupled with rediculasy quick shock rebound and little droop on rebound basickly means the rear wheels trys to push the back of the car off the bumps in to the air.

Not a cool sensation.

But yeah with a bit more rear grip I can expect more drive out of the corners , mid corner stability and stable braking.

Very impressive steering, the moving under brakes scares me most....

[Roy]

What is it with R32s being all taley under brakes? Reminds me of how my car used to be, only worse because you are going so much quicker

Sounds and looks great. Since its easier to put my brakes and suspension in your car then your engine and gearbox in my car... dont need two guesses for which car is going to be taken to pieces All for the common good, gettign some R32 GTSt's up those time sheets

You are a young man and soon to be father. You dont want .. i mean need to drive the R32 Widowmaker

I will give you a steer of my car...if you dont break my PB, i want a crack in your car IActually, your car is too nice and does what it is supposed to be. My car feels faster going slow

Ah I see, still didn't look like a massive handful but maybe that was just due to your calm driving, you weren't sawing at the wheel like a madman or anything just very precise... made it look too easy! except for a couple of moments under braking, they looked pretty scary... brake bias issue or just the rear skipping over the bumps as it unloads?

ps. I love the sound your car makes

Adz - looks like your flying in that vid!!!! My vids look like I'm taking a scenic drive coz its so quiet...

Looks like there's a lot of potential, especially if Ben waves his magic wand over the suspension....

Bris - DEAL!!!!

[Belsil80]

Nice work adz. Once that suspension is sorted im keen to see what you can muster up. We laugh now at the 1.18 jokes, but my money is on this rwd to get there. Makes me happy to see more balls out cars. no abs, no 4wd, silly power. its a mans car!

I think the brake issue is a bit of both, set up and the car could now do with a brake bias valve.

[Scotsman]

Dude - Your so quick on the oppo lock.

There was at least four times in that vid that your car would have spat me off the black stuff.

Very quick reflexes. One of the main reasons I let you drive my car. Nice work.

[dezz]

Yep, Adz, you are a f**king mad man. That 1 part into turn 1 at 200km/h+...sideways....thats what I call car control.

I don't often wear a hat, but if I did I'd take it off for you.

[Adz]

Here is a graph of speed vs time. I have added the turns on the graph. Note there is a portion of the front straight missing and some data drop out.

[Do-Luck]

OMFG! Awesome car control. Looked real scary under brakes coming into turn 1 aswell.

[Roy]

Having followed that little white 1600 that does 1:19s, i was better under brakes and through corners, but it left me for dead in a straight line. (this is with my old Bilsteins that as Juzz will confirm, left the car a real handful under brakes). Since Big Red seesm to have a simuilar amount of legs down the straight, there is no reason why with some better undercarriage it cant match the 1600s time. God knows the driver has the required tackle

So thought it would be interesting to compare the best lap i have on film at Sandown to Hand Bag's footage of the weekend. My car with the Teins gets the power down better then in this vid which is still running the Bilsteins...so with the RAs in your car i think your car would be less pointy/darty in the corners as if you play these two vids side by side you see how much your thing is struggling for grip Knowing my car is far from optimum, lol well i cant wait to see your thing flying. Finally an R32GTSt that is on the money. Can you tell im excited

Start Big Red at about 3.23sec and mine from the start

[Adz]

Here is a clip of my little stuff up and the end of the straight and and across the back of the track.
