2:08.4651 is the lap record set this year.... the GTR was in the 2.13s or something from memory.

A pretty good time considering the aero aids that are allowed today!

What I want to see is JGTC/Super GT cars versus V8 Supercars!

I think the DTM cars will chew em up and spit them out. They all have different restrictions etc, so you can't truly compare em. Would be awesome if someone would come up with a global touring car championship... I guess like the Mixed Martial Arts Championships for GT cars :)

DTM > JGTC > BTCC > V8 Supercars > Nascar (yeehaw)

Would be an awesome sight but, wouldn't be fair. The Super GTs would need to have some restrictions in place. Going by lap times on circuits like Sepang, Motegi & Phillip Island - Super GT > Moto GP > V8 Supercars.

Well after watchin an interview with some race director dude, who was with the euro tourin cars and aussie cars as well as the americans and F1.. he says the JGTC cars are the fastest GT style cars on the planet.. and i dont think his wrong :)

Aero aids on the V8s? Like I know they have wings and stuff...

Also, when did that extra chicane go in?

Given the type of race I would have thought the lemans series cars probably would have been best suited.

There you go guys, its the race record and not the lap record that hasnt been broken yet

Still cool though...

yer i just checked the records.. they still hold the Race record of 6hrs and 19mins.. current crop from 2000 onwards r still a fair way.. even the VR was closer with 6hrs and 20mins.. hahah now theyre doin 6 hrs 29mins

god bless the monster the R32 truly is :)

Gun,

I personally think that given the right rules, it'd be dammed interesting...

If you looked the way that the Performace cars ran round the mount, and in many ways were quicker over the top, then a well setup GT-R with the power could be the package to win...

As others have said, it'll be the restrictions and rules that kick it in the bum...

ffs, the '32s IIRC, are still restricted on the intake for AUS circuit racing??

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
