bookmarked for part 2... the revo time attack machine is a piece of enthusaists art!! =-)

 

That car is so dirty, all you can do is grin and laugh while reading and enjoying pics!

 

Ironically it still lost to the Cyber Evo.

 

It´s not ironically its really simple.

On such a high level of Motorsport you cannot "come and wish".

the cyber Evo is a machine brought to perfection over many years..

That its also still faster than the SSE Evo with a disadvantage of 200hp tells it all.


the car had a long developement phase to where it is now.

The GR FD is a relatively new car and especially with only few on track km`s (miles).

give them one more year to learn more abouttheir car and you`ll see a step foreward..



unfortunately the SSE and Cyber Evo retired for 2012 so We`ll never know if they made a step foreward with their new aero package and new parts.


My bet for the podium places in 2012:

3x Rx-7

GR, Panspeed ad Re-Amemiya with their new 20B Turbo Beast!

 

cyber evo is all wheel drive...

GR machine wasn't far off..

Nothing against re-amemiya..but I don't think they'll be in the top 3 let alone top 5-8.. lots of hype..but they're just not onthe same level as cyber evo/sierra-sierra/ Gr/Panspeed teams.. Just my opinion though..

 

Well... maybe its just a huge hype..

My guessing is based on the history of this company..

Everywhere where they took place in a competition they made a good job.

They have ALOT experience with FDs from Street to Japanese GT300. Suspension settings, Engine etc.
So I think they will be strong from minute 1..

But we will see..

(Unfortunately again only infront of the PC looking youtube videos... )
It`s a pity they don`t drive in europe!!

 

the hype worked, most the competitors were anxious to see the FD

the time differences can be blamed on the drivers not the car
