Three of Justin's 5 year old R888 semi's + 1 new front left (after breaking the old one). There's definitely a 60 & maybe a 59 in the car if I get it right. I think we need to chase each other to make this happen Vinney. A warmer track surface would also help a lot too.
Would love to run new slicks & a better brake setup one day and really see what the car could do...

That's impressive Tim. Agreed about running together to achieve faster times. Have a feeling some of my lines are still way off so would benefit me greatly following your lead. Think I will replace the rears shortly. Need to sort out my persistent limp issues first, hoping it's only the coil packs.

Vinney I think a Sub 60 ,s on QR sprint or lakeside is a bit like a 11 sec 1/4 for these cars. Do you know if it has been achieved yet ? ( I know 11,s have been done)

Coming from a Evo background I am impressed how quick these cars are on the track and how pleasant they are as a daily driver. I have done 55000 Kim's in a year with mine and still look forward to getting into it

Thats interesting. I've run 61 on street tyres but my goal is to run a sub 60 with more practice and meth. I'm sure it's easier said than done though as I think my driving could improve a lot. Agreed, I've done quite a few km's too but the car is exciting to drive on the street and track. It has a dual personality.

61 on street rubber is terrific. I am hoping for a 61 on my old DZ03,s on the 19th.

Good luck mate keen to see how you go. What is your current PB? The DCT is so slick. If it was offered in the 1M I would have traded up at the time. So easy to live with and perfect on the track.

Never mind, just checked the time attack site and you run a 62 second. That's quick! I'm sure you will get a 61 if the conditions are good, maybe faster.

Think I'll keep running street tyres. I'm leading B1 Class now. Sitting on 55 points with a 20 point lead. Will aim to run a 60 next time

[SYD] Wakefield 24th July

It's a Tuesday.

I'm planning on heading down with Pcock.

Just a regular speed off the streets, $150 or so.

It was fun. There is only one wall at the end of the main straight that you need to be careful of. Other than that, do whatever you like.

here is a little footage from the iphone of some spirited driving and avoiding obstacles . I think i have some footage of stu's mate adam (supercharged ss ute) coming onto the main straight and showing what an lsd can do for you.
