austrian type-r

Hello!
I am back from the first round of the GTAM at Nurburgring. The weather was cold and wet, but after 1am it dryed up and all the cars used Semislicks or full slicks.
When I did the free practice the track was wet and it was a bit tricky to get fast around. I tried a bit too fast and I got too much overstear and slided into the grass, lucky nothing broke, just come back into the pits with a dirty NSX.
Here is my build up thread

I won the Class Club 2WD and also can keep up with the big guys pretty well. I use Federal 595RS-R which is known for a good price-performance level (95 euro front and 125 euro rear tire per tire). I talked to a EVO 9 owner which used the Federal and the Dunlop Direzza and he told me the Direzza is about 3 seconds faster on a 1:40 minutes track. This session he used the all new Nankang Semislick AR-1, he thinks this tire is between the Federal and the Direzza. I was 2,5 Seconds faster than him in his 400hp Evo
I don't know exactly how much faster my car is this season, but a guy with his Nissan 350z from the PRO Class was last year 3 seconds faster than me at the Eurospeedway. This session I was 1 second faster then him. He did nothing on the car during winter time, when I asked him and he also use a better tire (Direzza). Compared the time difference to some other cars from last year there should be an approvement of a few seconds.
Mods I did from last year Time Attack to this Time Attack.
- 40kg curb weight
+ 50hp to the flywheel
wider tires 235 instead 215 front and 285 instead 255 rear.
