Mallala Open Track Day

[RubyRS4]

Aussie superbikes can get up to 280 on that back straight.... rubys Brutale could easily do that 225...

-D

The Brutale is not set up for track use, so no way could it do even 215kph thru the kink. The GSXR can, but not the Brute. The Brute could only honestly handle 195-200kph before it would 'wallow' thru the turn. My GSXR is better set up for cornering at higher speeds. I don't think even the superbikes can do over 240kph thru the kink.

Fact of the matter is cars and bikes accelerate and corner differently. i just made a smart arse comment about bikes vs cars thru the kink, and now its turning into a fight for ownership of turn 4. Meh, I know what my GSXR can do, I'll leave it at that.

Attached is a download of the cars 1:15.60 second lap of Mallala

I was just looking at the data/graphs from my Performance box (of the laps in my car) and the first obvious difference (besides the speed and the lap time) is how smooth the R35 speed line is which shows the beauty of the gearbox - no deccelaeration when changing gears

What do you guys think of this matte gold R35GTR in Dubai? If we are lucky Munro will spot it while he is there next week and get some more photos!

I like it a lot!

Thats the beauty of the GR6 transmission Mitric. We have some tricks to improve the transmission performance before nex time out

As well as adding some Proxes R888 20 inch tyres and competition brake pads. These modifications should hopefully net another 1.5 seconds or so a lap....now we have to do some more work to speed up Mitric, Munro, and of course RH9 (However I have Tilbrook on that one as we speak)

[Munro]

I am here now, have not seen a gtr yet but have seen an enzo on the back of a truck & heaps of mercs & land rovers everywhere. Steering wheel on the wrong side takes a bit of getting used to! Hot & muggy as hell.

I have had a lot of fun taking my street GTR out to mallala but am quite happy with 1 min 17.6 & will now concentrate on getting my other race GTR ready & see what that can do with similar power but 400kg less weight.

Will try to get out to the Dubai Autodrome tomorrow to have a look at a different racetrack.

I am here now

That explains why I couldn't get you on the phone today (I thought you were going away next week).

How did you Yokohamas go after the track day?

Well Munro we are in the throes of putting together a couple of ground up builds on a pair of matching 850hp R33 and R34 GTRs currently. Adding your other 'race GTR' to the mix would be as simple as you bringing it on down....then we can go hunt it at Mallala

Care to throw a R32 gtr in the mix that runs a lazy 1:17 at Mallala on stuffed tyres and worn out coilovers????
