N1GTR Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Shame it won't be used for even demo laps or something like that in the same way Nismo use their older race cars at Nismo Festival each year Either way, good stuff to see it coming to Oz Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365556-hks-ct230r-coming-to-australia/#findComment-5832951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin HKS Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) We would love to see it race but it's just not going to happen. Also it's 100% still original from it's last record breaking lap. Still well worth seeing. Here is why it can't race.

Beer Baron Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 yeah it's a bit sad it's not running. I mean good work on bringing it out, but if would have been great to go the extra step and compete. I mean static display is ok but you can see that in a magazine. having seen this car in the flesh before at tokyo autosalon and then in real life at tsukuba racing I would say you really need to see it moving to appreciate it fully. seeing it just parked up is not really getting me excited. still having said that, well done for doing something, but I say overcome those hurdles and race it. who cares when they 'retired' it? fact is it's still a fast car by today's standards.

R31Nismoid Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Could've sworn they still run GRP A cars even though they are retired and arguably more impossible to rebuild than anything else around Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365556-hks-ct230r-coming-to-australia/#findComment-5859642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nee-san Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I guess the idea is that with the GRP A cars it's more a Historic/nostalgia event. WTAC is a super competitive speed event, that car was only ever built to win or compete at the very top of the field (Other wise it would not be worth the money they spent building and developing it). I can totally see the reason behind not running it considering it has not been developed since 2007. I heard recently its record at Buttonwillow has been broken (some 2+ years later Lol) and considering it has not been developed since it would not be ideal to run the car, as much as I and everyone else would like to see it. Still going to be awesome to see in the flesh though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365556-hks-ct230r-coming-to-australia/#findComment-5860373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
