Tire rack doesn't list A050's?! Only A048's

Edit - Or O3G's......

Anyone shed any light on that?

Edit - I've emailed them a request for info on those.

I rang them and couldnt get any sense out of them regards the o3g's Ben. I hope you have more luck.

No Re55s listed either. I've been on toyo's for the last 2 seasons on the GTR and really keen to try something better. I tryed a worn out set of medium Ao50s and they definatly impressed me. really want to try some new ones. Can you please ley me know how you go Ben?

pretty sure the fastest Aussie car at last year's WTAC was on Kumho V70A - Luff in the Lotus.

yep Harry is correct, the lotus ran on Kumho last year

damn that car only weighs in at only 750kg according to the spec list this year with 500+awhp

thats almost half the weight my car will be! R35 drivers really do need to pray to the Horsepower and AWD electronic trickery gods for an advantage

They are actually building a motor for it this year rather than just the race motor that he uses to compete in the GT series with (which is what they did last year).

Was looking at Natsoft results and from the creek yesterday and seen this:

Allan Simonsen Lamborghini Gallardo 5212 A 8 12:52.3149 1:28.0570R

Doing a 1:28.057 in a 8 lap race is dam impressive, may need more GT cars to enter World Time Attack like the little Lotus

More GT cars , yes please.

Hate to say it Mark but 1500kg+ (at any power level or tech wizardry) will have no chance against the Lotus.

Btw anyone get the email from SL asking people to register what tyres they are running, so the manufacturers are stocked up? You have to wonder how gullable we are i suppose!

Slicks I assume? I wonder how it would go with semi's?

Yes, my point exactly. We have no delusions of defying physics, especially in the time attack format with available tyre selections.

Slicks I assume? I wonder how it would go with semi's?

Yes would be on slicks, but still be on a harder compound I would think as they are racing. Would love to see some times on very soft slicks or semi’s that would only last 1 lap.

No good news Coop;

"Thanks for the email.

I'm sorry but we don't carry those model tires.

Kind regards,

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
