Tensor left after completing 26 laps
 
Good race with Zach, at the last few laps both of us massively overshot the downhill brake point. I locked the rears and nearly spun, Zach, less luckily understeered into the gravel.

In stint 2 I think we both got used to the cars cos I was running ~1 second a lap faster with better wear and so was he!
Without abs the car keeps changing it's personality throughout the stint, after 7 laps it's very difficult to drive smooth.

Not sure what went on with me and Tensor, I was on the outside on the final corner and I saw his nose in the rearview, thought I had space to turn in but seems the NSX's front bar is longer than I thought. :lol:

And Im surprised, what happened to Skeng?

You know, if you didn't lock up I'd have smashed straight into the back of you! I was relieved to see you lose the rear lol.

Yeah the car gets better the less fuel is in, but I'm still terrible on worn tyres :(, I have no confidence in the grip.

Good fight early on, I got overtook you then some laps later go off, then I had to do it all over again :(.

I always seem to be racing you these days, until the last 3 laps when my tyres die and you pull out a massive lead
 
I just lapped a 4:16.232, but I definitely don't see a 4:00.xxx out there. I thought the same thing until I took a lap around this gigantic course as far as GT300's are concerned. All I got to say is don't come up short on the tranny, and I'm worried about the RX-7's natural top speed number's. With there high top speed I could see them shaving off a good chunk of time on the straights. I'll be playing don't lose the draft game again here! 👍

I was expecting something closer to 4:00 for the 300s

I just ran a 4:05.214, but Im sure I left 2 - 3 seconds out there cause of some mistakes

Update: 4:02.815
Update: 4:00.1

Got to practice with you guys tomorrow

You gotta be pretty special to run a perfect lap here in qualifying lol. Just about minimising mistakes
I'll be on abit tomorrow but got trials in the evening
Will be on Thursday/Friday though
 
I'm surprised how slow these cars are now. I ran a 300 series at 315/1100 in the Wedsport Celica about 6 months or so ago and was running 3:53 on race softs. So only getting a 4:14 out of my garaiya surprised me.

I think its because being that the track is so long, you have more time to go faster on the softs. And alot of the time less power will help you get into a corner and out if a corner faster

Veloci I'm sure you can break sub 4:10's with the right amount of practice around here. My 1st lap was a 4:22, and by the end of my 1st test session I hit a 4:16 without even tuning yet' 👍
 
Unbelievably bad in the rear, I had balance issues! In stint 2 it was much better. Coming on soon after dinner.

Understeer, understeer everywhere

:lol::lol: Great, I can never get my car to turn in anywhere else either. Ought to be a fun race for me, pitting every 2 laps for fresh front tires.
