yeh would be nice to get a few snaps of the grip praccy, only ended up getting into the last 3 sessions of the grip praccy but couldnt have been happier with how the car went, now ive just gotta learn to steer the thing better

were you the 32 on the trailer with the the huge pipe comin out the back.... thought you were there for drift... sweet lookin 32.

haha yeh that was me, i was there for grip and drift, unfortunately only got into the last 3 sessions due to the cap they reached there. i was in the cams license section, and my old man was driving it in the temp license section.

pretty happy with the pace considering my lack of track time, lack of grip (old heatcycled RE070's with f**k all tread) and lack of power (150-160rwkw, low boost due to controller problems). also small other things like locked diff because i overshimmed it (0.8mm + 1.4mm) and didnt have time to take it back out and pull the .8mm shim out once i realised how tight it was. also alignment was out etc etc

ended up getting more and more confident in the brakes and started dropping the times, but by mid way through session 3 i boiled my brake fluid and lost brakes completely. i was lucky i started my cool down lap the corner after i boiled the brakes, not sure what the chances of that happening were but it saved me from going into the sandtrap pretty hard. best lap i got just before i boiled the fluid was around 1:27.9, obviously tonnes of room for improvement in both setup and driver.

some in car footage

yeah same.... I only managed 2 sessions due to the cap. awesome fun.

an r32 gtr blew up its motor apparently after session 2.

nice footage.... do you have any more to share?

[nisskid]

unfortunately its all in car, should have got it out in the early sessions when i wasnt driving, i was just too busy running around finding people that were loading trailers and leaving so i could get out there. then by the time i found out i was in, it was a mad rush getting tyres on etc that couldnt get footage of the 1st session, got some of the 2nd session but was pretty messy and slow, had to come in half way as well and refuel so lost a lot of time in that session, then 3rd session i boiled my brake fluid half way through and it was game over for the grip session, only just got it bled and refilled in time for the 2nd session of drift thanks to a few champion blokes who we were sharing sheds with.

what GTR were u talking about, i think there was one out in the later sessions, think ive got footage of it just destroying me down the back straight (turn 4) haha, rb20 just wasnt up to the challenge.

haha yeh.

the drift practice footage:

not great, but if anyone takes anything out of this footage, it's that to stay the hell away from the temp permit group
