Guys - back on topic for a moment, then.
Glad to see that Thomas (AsphaltJet) and Alex (PoundPuppy) had a good time at the track on Thursday. Also very glad there were no accidents, and that we were all able to learn abit more about our cars. I'll leave the discussions on getting your cars (and yourself) ready for Fuji for offline conversations though.
Miguel, thanks for stopping by and dispensing advice to the guys. I had too much going on, so it was nice to have another experienced driver around.
Ok - so here are some pictures that Alex's wife took during the event (thanks!)
This yellow monster R33, capable of 1000ps, was "de-tuned" to 650ps for the event. And yet still posted the fastest time of the day, at a 1'56"!!!!
A REAL 400R. Note carbon trunk deck.
Several Spec V R35s ran with us, too. This white example - Alex pretends it's his.
View from the back. Strangely, I don't remember any SpecVs passing me though...
And here's a red one.
But actually, most of the time Thomas and Alex were getting their cars ready - numbers taped, junk unloaded...
Views from the upstairs conference room, looking down into the parking lot
Alex at speed - what, about 250kph?
Nice! Thomas eating this R34 for lunch! (was it just me, or were the R34s slow?)
Most R35s were really fast on the straight - but not this one I'm passing. That custom full tuned R32 was really, really impressive though!
Victorious! Or just relieved after experiencing his first spin? No damage at all though...
Well done guys!
