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??

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
