TURISMO Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) I was wrapped with the day, and I'm pretty happy with 15th on the back track!!! 1300cc of raw power (54kw at they fly from factory 10 years and 200,000km ago) was a lot more fun than I thought it could be. And for the people who thought I cut those chicanes, I quote Duncun "and the starlet and rx7 carried brilliant speed through the chicanes," and this one for fun "and I loved the starlet 4 wheels off the ground over the jump every time biggrin.gif" But seriuosly next one I won't have a matchbox car. Something with four times the power and driving the right wheels, forty times as fun maybe? Congrats to all the three NA guys, I think we all managed to be in the top half of the field (1.47 me, 1.46 drift majik, and a 1.38 or something ridiculos buy duncan) holding it to all you Barrometric cheaters (I'm just Jealous) I have to thank everyone who organised the day, and the volunteers did a great job, especially those time keepers. I am buying some timing equipment soon, so I think I will lend it out next time to help out those time keepers!!! Is there any handicap prizes? Just joking.......but seriously P.S. are there any shots of that hump, and If there isn't, how far was I off the ground buy? P.P.S. I think I'll opt for tyres bigger than 165's next time Edited September 18, 2007 by TURISMO Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/185266-texikhana-wrap-up-thread/page/6/#findComment-3358479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURISMO Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 RX7 owns Skylines I see To be honest, great RACE car, but the money that was in it, is not far off the money thats in the Dutton rally winning GT-R which happens to be 3 seconds faster around wakefield..... wasn't really a fair car to compare to all of the STREET skylines Very nice car though, still would love to own one Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/185266-texikhana-wrap-up-thread/page/6/#findComment-3358484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldZilla Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I was a bit suprised that a 1300cc toyota starlet with no mods, 60,000 k old tyres and standard worn suspension was as fast as some of the GTR's I think Turismo did a 1:47 in it. I am really glad I was not in the car fro that lap! a 1:47 in my gtst felt fast enough... He was second fastest on the skid pan too. He must have done some speed through the chicanes. I wonder if he took any shortcuts... I know there was a couple 'available'. I think I only did a 1:47. he is just a very gifted driver. he always shows me up On the second course of the skidpad, he actually got the fastest time... beating the RX7 by about a second...He did it twice, but screwed up the garage, and i told him to have another go, and he cracked it perfectly Can i PLEASE give out style points next time? Turismo did some awesome driving in the Starlet and I agree with Nic, I'm glad I wasn't in the car with him LOLHow funny is that? Starlet takes out Skyline event hahahhahahaa*snort*hahahahahahaa He should be proud hahahah you snorted When I was marshalling the gate at the back track - he came in so hot and with alot of speed and just locked up and then slid all crossed up, almost out of the gate! was freaking funny but the grin he had on his face was priceless! Yeah have to say Turismo almost drove the wheels off that thing lol a lot better than I am. Hahaha, it was funny watching the little Starlet take off from the line, chirp seconds, then lock up the rears just as he was about to enter the first chicane EVERY TIME. I was joking to my sister the day before that it would be funny if we drove down and entered in her new Mazda3, and managed to do the same thing that Turismo did. A small car is great for those tight chicanes, and a good driver (which pretty much rules me out, and my sister isn't anywhere near experienced enough) can make up for the lack of power and handling mods. Turismo proved that the speed you can carry through those sections can quite easily make up for the lack of acceleration and speed between the corners.

Abo Bob Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Absolutely. Great effort. I think I needed to use first gear more out the back. Also looking at Turismo's times he actually did one faster but I think hit two cones from memory and they are a 5 second penalty each. I guess you could say it was a handling track, not a power track.
