i haven't seen that one, that's awesome!

some damn expensive machinery in there

[Yo-Yo]

LOL

I been watching too much Best Motoring...

as the GTR overtook the lambo at the end I went "Yatta!"

The driver said the exact same thing seconds later as he crossed the finish line

[lingeringsoul]

it always comes down to the GTR vs Lambo.

Seems the GTR was having trouble keeping up with the porka on the straight.

No where near close to keeping up with the lambo on the straight.

seems to be cornering faster than everyone else which is awesome.

The problems I have with that vid is

1. Lambo suddenly running wide on the last lap - how convenient

2. Lambo suddenly NOT being able to keep up on the main straight - what gives??

I'll have to say, that win was NOT convincing at all.

[WazR32GTSt]

lambo definately threw the race at the end and goign wide when they show him braking with his left foot then both feet??

not a convincing win, but it had the fastest lap time which was nice

also, the lack of power on the straights was a bit concerning..

[Scottydoo]

I agree it looked a bit suss at the end, but keep in mind the GTR did start last and had to make up ground to get close at the end. And the fact that it does well, even if its slower in a straight line compared to a 470kw V12 I think is great. Plus the lambo is a $600k car vs $150k odd so really it isnt like its racing a sales competitor.

Would be good if the vid had subtitles or something tho

quoting a translation:

A few things that should be cleared to those who dont speak japanese

1. LP640 ran out of gas at the last corner. probably because the race shouldve ended 1lap earlier, but the editor seeing a good race between LP640/GTR and 911/Gallardo extened the battle 1lap.

2.Exige took off too early, but he was let off the hook cause of the power diff

3. 911 was complaining about lack of grip exiting the corners.May have to do with the weight distribution and the GT-R having a better 4wd system.

[lingeringsoul]

What they NEED to do is to have a GTR vs LP640 race only. That way, none of the slower cars will be an excuse. It's most unsatisfying seeing the lambo lose just because its out of fuel and because the judges decided to extend it by one lap.

thanks for the traslation btw.

[Sheng]

probably its the tyres are out before the fuel does

the cornering of the gtr is sensational comparing with the lambo,

i always thought you can read jap, James

[thrtytwo]

i dont understand why the lambo was always pulling ahead then at the very last minute the GTR left it standing ?? oh well lol
