well the good news is that the school fees have only seen a moderate increase in price if any.
but looks like the actual racing is tripling in price Test day used to be $1K now its $2.8K

Gotta pay to play I guess, for those that have the coin, the track and cars are fantastic.

As a former student I can tell you that you'd be surprised at the range of seats they have available. Id recommend calling obviously. Oh and don't expect to be comfortable, but thats not what racing is about anyways

i should have qualified that information was not first hand. That is what I got from someone working for the school. I know Shiv knows the 4G63, so it didn't make a ton of sense to me.

So what really happened?

Hey Shiv, does the thing really have a 3 stage dry sump set-up? Any details?


Its amazing the rate at which history gets bent if not changed in motorsports. How does the quote go? "I reject your reality and insert my own."

I'm sure the entire packaging is custom. There's probably no chance you could ever refit it onto an evo.

Where does it say "1,200hp" ?

All I found was:

195 bhp (School Trim); 300 bhp (Race Trim) at 7200 rpm

300Nm (School Trim); 370Nm (Race Trim) from 3000-6500 rpms

I think there is a statement as to the car being 1200lbs but I did not see anyone say 1200hp.
