I want to congradualate Damien Mach with his new PB @ Wakefield Park1:04.2
To date, its the first N/A Honda to make it into the 1:04's barrier setting a new benchmark for other N/A FWD's. Not only did Damien set a new PB, he had also topped the timing sheet at Shift Performance trackday yesterday by over 1.5 seconds. Well done Damien!
Here is a quick run down spec of the car -
BYP Built K24 (OEM parts) - 240hp at the wheels
6 Speed GEAR-X Close Ratio gearbox
BYP Front and Rear aero design
225/45/17 and 205/50/16 tyre combo
Stoptech BBK
Tein SRC's
BYP Go Fast suspension components
The car is still in its stages of development. We'll be further working on setting up the chassis, weight reduction and aero dynamics of the car over the summer season. Keep an eye out for this car, im sure it will break into the 1:03's in the near future
Circuit Club 3/12/2011 Update
Team BYP decided to take full advantage of the good weather condition before it gets too hot to put down a good lap time. Thanks to the guys at Circuit Club, we were fortunate to have a spot after being booked out a week prior.
Both me and Jimmy decided to shared the driving at this event to further test and tweak the suspension and chassis. It was about time we put on R compound to see what this car was capable off, Used Advan 225/45/17 050's where fitted for this event.
After a few morning sessions with a few slight suspension tweaks, the car recorded a time of 1:03.5. It was quite surprising to see such a quick time from this car. We were thinking there was a possibility it would beat BYP S/C DC2R time of 1:03.2. Based on data, we could see this car dipped into the 1:02's with its power output, gearing, and tyre choice. For anyone who wants to know how quick this engine combination is, top speed 198kph
We saved the best to last. Managing bad traffic on the last timed session, we knew there was only one good shot at the 1:02's. I was able to string together one good lap in, resulting in a best lap time of 1:03.0
The Team was over the moon with this result. This is the quickest FWD on R compound around Wakefield Park!
Look like we are now aiming for the 1:02's in the new year with a few additions to the car
