Superlap Timeattack Is Ago!

[Abo Bob]

Different cars, different tyres and need to be driven differently. So i dont think you can say Mark is giving away much behind the wheel jsut from looking at that vid

It just looked like he was using a little less of the track is all.

It's obvious that to make up time at OP you need to ride the rumble strips,

only problem for me is that my dump pipes get the shit beat out of them if I try it.

this may have already been answered, but what type of cams licence do you need for this event? i did a quick search but couldn't come up with anything... cheers

Marks laps in the video looked very clean indeed!... I would say that comparing the S2000 v the GTR lap, the GTR was the one that had less drama about it... throttle application was smooth, and tended to be only 1 go at it...

what was the lap time difference between the 32 v 35 and say the S2000???

JB's driving style certainly is exciting to watch!!! butI'm not so sure on it bringing the fastest lap time.

The S2000 is on street tyres, so to get the best out of something with no grip will always mean its going to be a little greasy through the corners as it is wrestled through

Cheers Chris

im definatly super keen (pardon the pun!) for next time....

LOL as ROY said williamsf1, you could not even compare the two driving styles in two very very different cars. Believe me, I was trying to drive to S2000 smooth. Ummmmmm 450HP atw, RWD, road tyres vs anything AWD is going to look................lets say different. I think Mark is doing a super job in the R32 vid

Don't forget rwd vs 4wd as well

JB sorry if you took that as having a go, far from it.... Just an observation comparing both videos, thats all.

Paul Kemal tells me you should have been in an ARC this year? that would have been good to see!!!

The S2000 looks quiet neutral on turn in, but even before you make for the throttle, it has a big dose of oversteer mid-corner.... is this all tyre related? or might it do with a softer rear bar? (presuming you will drive it again??)

[Bozman1]

Sometimes it is hard to understand the way some people write things on forums and sms. I did not take it the wrong way at all Ben, all good mate.

Ah yes Pablo lol I have been wanting to get into the series for a while. Had the deal done with a V8 team (the aussie car was going to be the same colours as the V8 supercar etc) and then all of a sudden the budget was put into the V8

The tyres on the S2000 make a huge difference. I suppose it would be nice to take it out and have a play with the suspension to see if we could improve it. This car was really just put together as a toy and has never been tuned for the track until now.

The main thing we have been playing with is the turbo and boost, just to try and make it a bit more driveable

i think we need to talk, the fact that you are doing brake upgrades is scaring me when you would usually be looking for a chute lever.....are you a bit confused pauly? let me know about those Brembos. After seeing some of these vids, ive got a feeling the standard brakes with pad upgrade will not cut it....keen to get the chevy out amongst it.

I would be chasing a catch can first before brakes my be djr has a dry sump tank you could convert to a catch can 10 litre should do the job lol

[Duncan]

standard brembos with race pads are all we are allowed to run on the production car. they are holding up OK with the power we make, but the GTRs doing superlap are making at least 150kw more than my car.

The engine was breathing more than a litre a lap...even on the out lap!....sump is a 10 litre jobbie so we may get 2 hot laps before we have to pit and empty then fill up...lol.

Catch tank is sorted...same style we run on twoogle...and baffling the rocker covers the same also.

This will not fix the problem on a track car only good on a drag car where you are only flat out for 10 seconds not for ten mins if you need a hand with the set up give me a call

[Duncan]

hmm I'm no mechanic but do healthy engines breathe 1l/lap? Is it due for new rings soon or does it just have big clearances?

[gtr jason]

Hi Boz you did a great job driving the 2000 looked tops coming onto the straight ,when you got the win and people started to bag you out you should have given them the Jim Richards talk "YOU S ARE A PACK OF ARSE HOLES"everyone has the same chance to practice at the track like Boz and he is a very helpful guy that would be more then happy to teach you how to get around the track quicker to improve your pb keep up the good work Boz but look out next round lol
