Video is up: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04cn6pU3w9A"]R53 JCW and R56 GP play tag - YouTube[/ame] He starts right behind me but I get a quick point from the NC to gap Mark a bit. I give him a point at ~8 if you want to skip ahead.

I just need to intercept your 1.9L on the way back from Jan :aureola: that should close the power gap nicely hahaha!

Thanks man, the Z2*s sure are screamers haha. My fastest that day was 1:44.8 so depending on how good the 2-3 seconds rule of thumb is for r-comps on this track I should be pretty close to Mark's Evora times :devil: I am waiting till my old setup sells before getting back onto r-comps so hopefully later this year and looks like R7s which should be quite a bit better than the NT-01s I used to run. The video of my Enkei wheel breaking was on this track with r-comps

I've driven that GP.
I saw a little of Mark's video, and (at least in the short snippet I saw) you were carrying more speed through the esses (suspension win, probably) but he was definitely reeling you back in out of the corners, and was hanging just fine on the simpler corners where the tires mattered more than the suspension.
That's my read, anyway. -

Yeah, that would help.

I look forward to seeing the video. Which track at Summit Point?

Shenandoah, I enjoy it as there aren't a lot of places for the high hp cars to stretch their legs and get away
Mark and I were putting on quite the smack down. Working on the video now

:cornut: Loved the sound of that Turbo Prince engine. If y'all hadn't had all of those Miata road blocks:yikes: on the track we could have seen a real R53 R56 race. Thanks, that was great.

Great video. I gotta get up there this fall.

Definitely! We need to get a pack of minis together for terrorizing the mid-Atlantic tracks :devil: it was getting lonely by myself. That was one of the most fun sessions I have had in a non-competition setting.
Once I am back on rcomps I should be able to close back up by braking later. Power mods aren't in the near future so I will have to rely on other trickery :idea:
