What kind of speed is it hitting down EC straight? 240km +? Strong field in open, Stuart Inwood in his R33GTR yesterday done 1.41's. Has this been faster then 41's yet?
Last week was the very first time I have driven the S2000 at Easten Creek.
I have not gone over the top speed data, I left all of that to Scott at Insight to have a look at. Seriously, the car was ugly last week. It has been at Insight since the test, and is now getting alot of changes so that we can be as competitive as possible.
You are right about fast cars. Not sure how the little S2000 is going to go against some of the already proven products. We will be lucky to get into the top 5 I think looking at some of the times that people are doing.
This years competition has improved in leaps and bounds. Two weeks prior to the event we tested the car for the first time and it was doing 43's and 44's around Eastern Creek.
We knew we had a task ahead of us, as there were a dozen cars in open class already doing those times.
We changed the diff ratio, took 150hp out of the engine at mid throttle, changed pads and a few other bits and pieces to try and find the seconds that were needed.
The car was getting faster and faster over the weekend of Superlap, and we were extremely pleased to do a 1.40.0...oh so close to a 39!
The time was good enough for;
3rd Outright Open Class
1st RWD Open
The next stage of development for this car is now the chassis. It still has the same suspension that was put in it as a road car more than 5 years ago. Hopefully this car will be well into the 39's or less very soon.
Thanks to everybody that came up and said hello during the weekend
Thanks to Elias (the owner) and Scott (Insight Motorsport) for your efforts to get this beast to where it is today.
