No small feat wining this race in a completely stock ELANTRA N '23. But it's a very good car to drive straight off the showroom floor.

Watch out for the yellow Elantra. He's fast and he can be aggressive.


Had a little time left today so I did the full stock Elantra thingy. The first room I was in had three quick cars ahead running in the low 5:30s with no chance to catch up but I was lucky with the second grid. There's been a caravan of cars with Kang in the midst and during a magic third lap I could overtake most of them. Even had a cool side by side battle with J. Hahn ( guess he's S. Hahn's brother ) before I got in the lead at the beginning of lap 4 and brought it home cleanly.

And let me tell you about yesterday, guys. Yesterday's been humiliation day :lol: ...
@snowman_pr had reminded me of how good the 2J is around Autopolis so I took the sucker for a ride. After having done the race with the insane Lexus VGT I didn't expect the 2J to be much faster but I was so wrong. It's two different worlds actually, 3 seconds per lap even at lean fuel, unbelievable. And unbelievable fun !

Went with a fully built out Giulia for the historic race, managed p2, just not enough horsepower as I feel turbo charging or an engine swap is against the spirit of the car. Car is a hoot to drive but at 143hp feels a bit short, ideally i'd be up around 200 tbh.

I used my similar one for this event. I've adjusted the tune to 220hp and 940ish kgs to try and match how they ran in period Group 2 events. Was more than enough for a easy win here, but it's such a fun car to chuck around.

You must have turbo charged though right? I am at 146hp and I could spend another 50K credits on NA power but only gain like 2hp hp not worth it.
