2014 World Time Attack Discussion

[No Crust Racing]

That pic confuses me, are you in the GT-R or the GT4? Your name implies the GT4, but the pic implies the 34...

[34GeeTeeTee]

whats the best day to come see cars blow up?

Every day... Its WTAC! lol

[TwinTurboCelica]

I have the R34 GTR..... I set up the SAU username many years ago when I used to have a 1977 Celica with a 1JZ-GTE. (Sorry, thought it was clear as next to Car(s) it says R34 GTR in the profile).

With 108 posts, I'd be willing to sacrifice it for clarity

I agree with most comments here in regards to the 'Andrew Brilliant Aero'. While obviously working, all his designs detract from the look of the car and the spirit of time attack IMO.

[No Crust Racing]

Can you elaborate on the "spirit of time attack"?

I thought the idea was to just go fast?

[zebra]

have a look at the m-speed r34

or the pan speed rx7

both look shithot and are fast

then look at the arc r32

Are you an industrial designer or an architect? (i.e. non-engineer)

[zebra]

HAHA No

But I'm an Industrial Merchant

That doesn't really answer the question though.

Just because older TA cars had basic aero, why does that mean the category shouldn't continue to push the boundaries in the quest for seconds?

You can only have so much power and put it to the ground, eventually you have to make up time elsewhere. Tyres, suspension, aero, etc.

Or would you rather cars still be running the same times as Tsukuba as they were 5yrs ago?

Id rather the whole idea of "time attack" died already.

[No Crust Racing]

Why are you in this thread then?

Genuine question. not being facetious.

[zebra]

Because I'm intrigued by the horrid cars, and people who spend a mil on building an evo then skip the country to avoid paying for it.

[ssxRicho]

Open class is for the oe looking body, pro class should be all out.

In saying that, I don't agree with the ability for pro/am to be able to alter the suspension arm design. So many cutting in double a arm or versions of. That's getting too close to sports sedan for me.

Yeh new arms are all good, but when you start chopping the chasiss and altering the points that the arm mounts to...

So you're a masochists who also has a penchant for drama and gossip, got it

Fair points.

Hahah yeah pretty much

Nah I don't mind it

Engineering aspect of the Pro cars is pretty cool

im all for pushing the boundaries, But if you think about it everyones just getting the same dude to do all their aero. There needs to be variation to methods in order to improve otherwise it may as well be "Andrew Brilliant pro class" If i wanted to see cars go fast id watch the radicals go around SMSP. Im there to see cars i like going fast

strapping a manta ray rear bar (suzuki s15) makes me cry inside because like current years F1 being ugly doesnt help draw a crowd. You can be pretty and still push the boundaries of speed and laptimes it just costs more.

[No Crust Racing]

We can agree to disagree then, I'll see you there and we can settle this like gentleman over scotch and blackjack.

you forgot the hookers
