Truenotch Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Haha, there's a few things to it. 1. First day driving my car at Teretonga and only my second day ever on that track. 2. 200/580-15 slicks are a bit too small really. The City runs 235s. 3. Aero def helps in turn 1, 2, 3 4. My car jumps over the braking bumps and the City is way more setled. I'll. Be able to dial that out with some setup work 5. I had a flu and was just kinda not there, but still gave it a good crack I could go way faster round turn 1 too, it's just scary braking on an angle from 200kph over bumps into a looooong radius corner 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperblade Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Congrats on the win! That looks like a really fun track, I've never seen it used before, very cool with the elevation changes. Glad you came out of it unscathed, there was more then a few moments where I was wondering what the other cars were going to do, some of them seemed very focused on in front of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 +1 to elevation changes looking like heaps of fun. The elevation changes at Hampton are cool, but they're a bit more gradual Well done on pedalling to 1st and 2nd to the HPA lads! How good! I am super stoked to see the car back out there getting shit done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club sprints are like that eh... People forget to look backwards, no matter how much you talk to people and they agree to move out of the way. It was fun though! Even though the traffic killed a couple of runs for ultimate times. 1 hour ago, Roman said: Well done on pedalling to 1st and 2nd to the HPA lads! How good!

Looking forward to more events over summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyscar Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Incar from city is great. That lockup was a massive save from the outside, even though it looked pretty tame from incar. Very close times. Branden might have had you with bit more commitment over the top of the bridge Interesting to compare low vs high downforce car handling characteristics. You being able to 'float' the 86 into a corner while the city is point-and-shoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of racing your old man in the Corolla and having almost exactly the same laptimes, but different speed in lots of areas. My car was geared just right for that track, so I was able to launch out of the corners better. The City is loads quicker down the hill into the carousel.... We both hit a top speed of ~150 on the front and back sections of the track, so peak horsepower/speed seems about the same. Pretty keen to go door to door racing against the City. We should get a chance to battle at Highlands later in the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes extremely well. Imp purists hate it.... you two would probably get on well 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
