You can join me at Thunderhill here in NorCal for some HPDE runs in June via unlimitedlaps.com! You can get all the practice you can get in one event.

Your quite welcome! The Puma Evo 8 has been toned it's weight down to 2711lbs. to compete. I believe in Super Taikyu comp, you're not able to modify anything from the engine bay, but mainly focused on suspension setup. Almost similar rules to the SCCA World Challenge Touring Class.. i think. It puts out 330ps @ 6500 and 50 kgm @ 3500.

Did anyone else notice the digital readout going nuts when the Puma overtook the RS at the bend?

Yes.. it can be done and it's a 5 lap battle. However, it'll be a one huge file once it's done. Either I can break it down to 2 files or I can compile the last 2 or 3 laps of action. Also, if someone is willing to host the file on a faster server, that'd be great. My account is almost full.




If you guys are feeling the vibe on downloading some vids... here's a 500hp battle of the last 2 laps in Tsukuba. Kinda old but it's still fun to watch and I apologize for the low resolution.

Right click and save as:
HKS Kansai Evo VI vs. BOSS S15 Sylvia

It could be the boost pressure measured in bar.
