How was the new track? Its been getting good write ups

[Marlin]

I've seen pics of it on facebook, looks like alot of fun!

[Ant97GTR]

Was great fun throwing a GTR around although my 'stocky' doesn't handle as well as a well sorted example. The well sorted Evo's and Rex's did well as expected but the difference was 2s between me and 1st place (sorted Evo 8 I think) so not huge.

See in car vids of my runs here:

New PB at Lakeside for me, 62.85

All the vehicle specs remain.

[Roy]

So is that the baseline time? What tyres did you have on it? Interesting to see how the green meanies go in your thing, especially on a bumpy,sweeping track like Lakeside

[Marlin]

Ahhh, whats a baseline time? I didn't have the stereo pumpin if that's what you mean? I'm putting the better time down to my running a massive hangover and 3 hours sleep, witness the Dutton Sandown effort for prior evidence of that , although, even though I was very "relaxed" in the car, I failed to stay absolutely flat out under Dunlop bridge :[

There's been no change to the car save for a tune which has made it a little more linear in it's power delivery, same old bald and blued Dunlop 02G's, no alignment or setup changes yet.

I can't wait to throw your green bits in it, but figured there wasn't much point rushing and changing it until I can directly compare it on the same track, which means either visiting Morgan Park for a weekend or waiting until Lakeside opens again.

Giant and I will give it a good alignment and corner wieght as soon as we both have time, and will likely setup your green hornets for installation at the same time.

WOW, that's an awesome effort, that's flyyying...

What tyres were used?

[Snowman]

That max speed is about 15km/hr up on what I can run there. Be good to know where that extra speed comes from - whether its corner exit speed, grunt, weight or a mixture of all of them.

I think its pretty safe to say its a mixture of them all, even though he was down 30rwkw at the time. If you really want to know, give him a call. I think it is also pretty safe to say that there is still quite a bit in it.....possibly another couple of seconds. Now I know some people may laugh at that, but they qoviosly dont know Sam. He was actually quite dissapointed with the car on the day.

[JAGR33]

So are you gonna tell us what tyres he used or is that a secret?

[fatz]

stock r31

ec 2.05

couldnt even hit 170 on the straight

sad when a lpg falcon wagon hoses you on the straight

beat him on the corners though

[G_T_R]

So are you gonna tell us what tyres he used or is that a secret?

No secret............will be sure to post it up when i find out, other matters were more pressing at the time of conversation .

Regardless, all tyres he currently uses are capable of those times within a second or so of each other. There are quite a few more factors to take into account with this car that are a bigger contribution to those times.

[Roy]

Well his M3 was running slicks and similar times. So i guess the GTR was running slicks as well if he was a bit disappointed and thought there was still several seconds in it

[Tektrader69]

I just came back from Winton today. After looking at the times you guys are posting for the long track I am going home with my tail between my legs.

Gotta get me some slicks for my road car , and finish the track car ASAP

New PB for me at Sandown today - 1.21.2

Was a the Holden Sporting Car Club / Ford Four Car Club Sprints

Alot of varying speeds in my group would be a large understatement.

A bit of battle scarring too. Another GT-R there caught fire unfortunately, no one injured more importantly.
