SteveR Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yes mater as a track car. Sorry. And yes will be trailering it to the ring What will he use to pull it? His brother's Rex? Can't wait for this. I've even stepped away from the Dragonball trip so I've got more pennies for track time (and beer lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dee_rz Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 While we are on this subject does anyone know what a stock supra will do timewise at the ring with a pro driver as we are having this discussion on another board i'm on at the moment.

My stock TT6 was lapping in the high 9s on my first & only visit with me short-shifting and generally driving only as fast as I could see. Aron (AJI) laps his BPU in about 8:30s, but he's been a few times. I'd suspect a pro driver in a stock car on a CLEAR track to lap in the low 8 mins. Pure guess though.

I've even stepped away from the Dragonball trip so I've got more pennies for track time (and beer lol) Steve, Martyn will be using a Freelander. There is a thread some where about a big supra doing an 8.10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dee_rz Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I would agree and guess that a supra would do around 8 mins in the hands of a pro driver, as a gage a civic type r and teg type r with pro driver do 8.33 and a e46 m3 does 8.22. sorry for the slight thread hi jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest George Bolton Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 sorry Tom hav,nt been on that thread for a while, I am interested in any thread that has Nurburg in it. We go to the ring about 5/6 times a year but also this year we are going on a trackday in july so we can put slicks on, and have the benifit of the straight past the public entrance so should be going under the bridge at about 160, should get well below 8 minutes we will post the video if we manage it:Pling: George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah a Supra on slicks will definitely do a sub-8min without too much effort. I've done a 08:30 on Eagle F1s and that is with traffic and the fact that you have to only drive 9 tenths to allow for that safety and unforseen factor. A dedicated trackday generally means you have much faster traffic that doesn't get in your way, and the grip limit on slicks will more or less mean you won't need to brake for most of the corners !! (slight exaggeration but you know what I mean) I'll also be there 2 or 3 times this year.... on my 3rd visit (in August) I'm off to watch the German WRC on the Friday/Saturday.... followed by a full day on the N'ring on the sunday followed by a full trackday at Spa Francorchamps.... what a weekend that is going to be !!

Cheeky C*** 2 of my mates had crashes last year for putting it about, and the Aristo was plenty of fun too. Just cos we don't go 3 times a year cos we are not millionaires!!

dangerous brain Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hey just cos i am about don't mean I am back in the club... Well I'll see some of you guys in a fortnight or so at donington If anybody wants to travel over here and stay the night in Holland before moving on the 3 hours to the ring please feel free to get in touch. I am looking at trying out spa,and the ring this side of the channel this year. Iam tempted to try for silverstone on the trax event as well as castle donington. My car is looking more and more like a jap setup track beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'll also be there 2 or 3 times this year.... on my 3rd visit (in August) I'm off to watch the German WRC on the Friday/Saturday.... followed by a full day on the N'ring on the sunday followed by a full trackday at Spa Francorchamps.... what a weekend that is going to be !! Thats sounds ace Aron The Toyota guys have announced 23rd May to 29th May but don't seem awfully sure yet, so will probably end up on a Supra arranged one this year! Gaz.
