Don't read too much into the pre-season testing times for these cars.

I have a mate that works for the Jet Alliance GT1 team (Aston DB9R's) and I remember him telling me that the governing body uses the testing times to try and even out the field by giving extra ballast etc to the fast teams. So as a consequence they used to do all of their pre-season testing on 5 year old slicks that were half useless to make themselves look slow.

Actually I just remembered they did it by determining the size of the restrictors they all had to run.

yeah not surprised - they are a whole other level up from the cars around.

and speaking of levels, the r35 is running it gt2 not outright, right? It is much more road car than the top level cars

The GTR & Ford GT were running to 2010 GT1 rules, getting a head start on the competition.

Have been working with the Ford GT GT1 cars for next year, all new Aero package.

Sponsorship all set, should be a good year for the ford's running some great drivers

Nissan has some updates over last years but is pretty similar in styling.

I love the toys you get to play with. the proper GT cars are the some of the most seriously engineered cars around

Pitty I'm stuck here in adelaide and they are in Switzerland :P

was invited over to the launch at Paul Riccard But i think the new mortgage is more important at the moment.

know anyone that wants a GT3 spec Ford GT here? chuck us a PM if you do!!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
