Nurburgring RX7

wanted to share the experience of running the Ring with my RX7 in the 24 hr race twice in Germany.
Finished both times with the S8 RX7 twin turbo i built and shipped from Australia.
You Tube shows a lap, see Ric Shaw Nurburgring.
i now have a new HKS 6 speed sequential gear box for RX7 to sell at half price to a serious RX7 owner.

Thanks guys for the kind words.
Cost to do this event was around 100 k aus.
The crew are great guys with 2 from NZ.
Feb next year we will do Bathurst 12 hr here.
I ran factory HT12 RS type twins on 12 psi at the Ring and now it has a To4r on it with a HKS 6 speed sequential, this is new this box and have driven it once, i will sell this box as we now want to run a synchro box for long distance stuff.
