Jet200 Breaks S-Chassis Lap Record At Wakefield

[JET200]

Hey everyone. We went to Wakefield for a shakedown to make sure the re-built gearbox and the other revisions worked OK but came away with the S-Chassis lap record after John Boston piloted the car to a 1:02.572 Many have been asking who would be the first into the 2s at Wakefield, and to be honest, I didn't think it would be us but we are over the moon! I;m sure the record won't last long though after hearing about the other Silvia's being built for WTAC! I also piloted the car to a new PB at Wakefield of 1:04.595

The scary part is how easy the car did it and how much is left in the car. We ran on a year old 265 tyres, no front splitter and the boost controller turned off. A few niggly problems, but clearly nothing major!

For WTAC we are turning up the power from 330 to 390, fitting new 295s all round and installing a SX Developments front splitter as well as making a few tweaks to the alignment and brakes.

We have a full write up of the day on our website here: http://motivedvd.com...d-on-shakedown/

In typical fashion the forward facing camera decided to have a corrupt file, so here is the other on-board looking at Boz. The shadow of the tower thing hanging over the straight is used as the reference.

good effort from John B

although was there any other timing? or just using the video to get the 'record'?

didnt boxhead do his on natsoft which would be more official?

anyhoo, stout time and effort - Im sure JB will peddle this around SMP rather quickly!

WE recorded the time using Racepak/Haltech GPD logging dash. It's super accurate and plenty of people had their hand held timers out and the video matched as well. I think thats official enough! Video cameras are accurate to 1/25th of a second.

but thanks. We were very shocked at the time too! We thought it might go this quick once we were on maximum attack, not on shakedown!

[evil_weevil]

well get back out there for maximum attack!!!!

[JET200]

Going max attack for WTAC then go back to Wakefield
