I reckon we should do a Suzuki GSX-r 4 Concept challenge. Capable of sub 7 lap time at the nurb. Only 283hp @10900rpm with a nice weight of 588kg. It has insane ammounts of grip and takes a little fancy control work to keep a clean lap. My best is 7:00.521 and it is riddled with mistakes.

Edit: Just pulled a 6:55.932 in the suzuki. My best in the R33 is 6:55.823...... hmmm........ not bad for a car with a third the weight and a quater the power...

the power and the weight is what makes it interesting 👍

ié not being a light go kart that you can drive flat out...

ié Dav's s2000 great fun to drive (and thanks man love the car tbh) but no challenge second lap matched time...

with full damage on not going to happen in a R33/35 etc etc more of a challenge...that's why it took me a couple of days and god know's how many restart's to pull that new r35 lap...it's the first time i have made it around the whole track LOL...

Ié it's a challenge..

Please no disrespect mean't by my comments just an opinion 👍

But its also interesting to see who has the guts to push just that little bit more. The light weight also means the jumping points are also worse and all the bumps and kerbs just throw you around all over the place.

that would be why one tune's suspension my dear fellow ;)

LOL. ok ok gimme a break its like 1 in the morning, its stinking hot. It still doesnt escape the fact about the jumping points....

haha yes it does, softer suspension higher downforce = done... 👍

and yes it is ****ishly hot...not a fan..at all, may go sleep in the car with the air con on ha 💡

the old x2010 grinder is down to 1330hp...oh the shame...
 
Dude change your oil.. mine has 1557.. you cruel man :lol:

Russel Ingall is coming to get you for being cruel to your car young man!

@ kris, yer I understand about the challenge, the lighter the car and less power will make it less offs, but it will also mean everyone hopefully has closer laps, another idea maybe a supergt car, also, if possible can I run on the nurb with r33 on next Thursday due to work, or any other time it suits you

And nismo once I finish work today I'm going to hit up nurb with the gsx4

iPhones work quiet well... I was however lucky enough to get a TV with USB recording (without even knowing it). Plug in a flash drive and BAM! HD video. If i were you and i didn't yet have a HD tv, i would be sure to get one with this feature, as it is simply brilliant 👍

Good stuff Dave, We'll start off with some drifting together/ mucking around then maybe have a small comp - nothing serious so it should be a lot of fun:tup:

Yea some of the guys have talent so im interested to see if we're in the same league

@ everyone were only going to need six guys on the night, so let me know if you can make the time asap.
 
Everyone in for the friday night session tonight? I suggest that dave or ben or Stav host, as i'm unaware of them having connection issues (unlike me)
 
I can't host, my connection is so epic I DC from my own servers. 👍
