Tire rack doesn't list A050's?! Only A048's

Edit - Or O3G's......

Anyone shed any light on that?

Edit - I've emailed them a request for info on those.

I rang them and couldnt get any sense out of them regards the o3g's Ben. I hope you have more luck.

No Re55s listed either. I've been on toyo's for the last 2 seasons on the GTR and really keen to try something better. I tryed a worn out set of medium Ao50s and they definatly impressed me. really want to try some new ones. Can you please ley me know how you go Ben?

pretty sure the fastest Aussie car at last year's WTAC was on Kumho V70A - Luff in the Lotus.

yep Harry is correct, the lotus ran on Kumho last year

damn that car only weighs in at only 750kg according to the spec list this year with 500+awhp

thats almost half the weight my car will be! R35 drivers really do need to pray to the Horsepower and AWD electronic trickery gods for an advantage

They are actually building a motor for it this year rather than just the race motor that he uses to compete in the GT series with (which is what they did last year).

Was looking at Natsoft results and from the creek yesterday and seen this:

Allan Simonsen Lamborghini Gallardo 5212 A 8 12:52.3149 1:28.0570R

Doing a 1:28.057 in a 8 lap race is dam impressive, may need more GT cars to enter World Time Attack like the little Lotus

Hate to say it Mark but 1500kg+ (at any power level or tech wizardry) will have no chance against the Lotus.

Btw anyone get the email from SL asking people to register what tyres they are running, so the manufacturers are stocked up? You have to wonder how gullable we are i suppose!

Slicks I assume? I wonder how it would go with semi's?

Yes, my point exactly. We have no delusions of defying physics, especially in the time attack format with available tyre selections.

[GTR32G]

Slicks I assume? I wonder how it would go with semi's?

Yes would be on slicks, but still be on a harder compound I would think as they are racing. Would love to see some times on very soft slicks or semi’s that would only last 1 lap.

No good news Coop;

"Thanks for the email.

I'm sorry but we don't carry those model tires.

Kind regards,

1:28 is bloody hauling!! even on slicks.

[Nee-san]

Its a gt lambo Lol....

[Russman]

Very quiet in here. Is everyone too busy building their cars?

[Duncan]

just fitting coilovers now. should be ready shortly

[MBS206]

My coil overs got held up... Don't think I'm going to make it...

[Marlin]

I bought some new EBay coil unders. New tech apparently, stolen by a spy in somewhere called the Trabant factory.

Hopefully here next week!
