my little EVO set a new time attack record this weekend!

After 2 years of hard work and development my little black EVO went and set a new overall record at this weekend's UAE Extreme Superlap @ the Yas Marina F1 circuit (South configuration)

Unfortunately I dont have footage of the record lap; but the 2nd lap in this video is only 0.5 seconds off the time!

Why don't you skip gears while down shifting?

Just extended and added some hard bushings..... the only reason it looks like that is becuase the "skirt" came off before the race and i didnt have a stapler to put it back together again! Thousands of tools, and not a single stapler in sight!

I can tell you this; I would not be able to shift half as quick if I didnt have the Exedy twin plate clutch, it is amazing!

I need every bit of stopping power I can get..... Saying that, the DS3000 pads and Alcon Race kit did an amazing job with a solid 1.4 - 1.2G at the end of the main straight.... without fade!

Nice work, though probably should be in the Motorsports section...

How many competitors in your class were there that day? Do you have a rule regarding HP/ Weight for the class? If so, what is it?
