Godzilla Motorsport Runs First Seven Second Passes

[Swiper the Fox]

Australia's fastest GTR is on track to run a 7 sec pass this weekend at the winternationals. With a lazy launch 1.35 60' and wheelspinning on gearchanges the car stopped the clocks at 8.16 and blasted through the traps at 171MPH into a strong headwind. With further setting the car up for the conditions and a better 60' (PB is 1.23) a 7 sec pass is obtainable. Further updates will follow tommorrow night with the 2nd round of qualifing to be held at 7pm.

well done to Mark, Justin, Harry and the team (Julie, Tommi and Ava)

Very cool - good luck guys What tires is it running on now, I am assuming full slicks?

shit yeh, 7s for winternationals or even jambo i cant wait to see it

***UPDATE***

Tonight in the 2nd round of qualifing the car ran an Australian record equaling 8.07. MPH was 173 with a better 60' of 1.27

Car was turning the tyres hard off the line but due to the lack of a slider clutch is something that will have to be put up with. Car is unloading the tyres front to rear after grabbing 2nd gear but is running straight as an arrow (unlike sydney where it wanted both lanes)

Lambda readings on the MoTeC show the car is running rich in the air conditions at the track. A harder leaner tune will be tried tomm for a shot at the elusive 7.

stay tuned

Good luck snatching a 7

Awesome, exciting stuff 173mph is certainly getting up there, fingers crossed it can get those extra few mph and a 10th less - would really like to see this car as the next 7s one!

Good luck guys.

they are here...car just ran 7.96 @ 176.6 MPH...full report on the run to come

[belo]

Well done.. Awsome effort.. Im sure they'll drop a little further

[Yawn]

Wow congrats to all involved. Fantastic effort

[benm]

60?

[Swiper the Fox]

right...the 60' was 1.27 so up there but not quite a PB. Mark hit the limiter in 1st so even quicker times are on the cards in the finals tomm. Car was gunbarrel straight and in the groove the whole run with a 1/2 track MPH of 141. MPH shows 7.80's are achieveable in the eliminators tomm.

This makes the car the 3rd fastest GTR in the world and the quickest 2.6ltr RB 26 in the world.

Just got back from the track. Mark's 7.96 @ 176mph was awesome!!! 60 was good then he banged off the limiter. It ran straight.

I recon closer to 180mph with a high 7.8x tomorrow!!! fingers crossed

CONGRATS TO MARK & TEAM!!!

[R33draggtst]

Huge well done guys & no doubt a lot of beers will be sunk after the event has finished

Good luck with the rest of the event & definitely more to come if you hit the rev limiter.
