Quick cars, great to see the rotors carving up. It literally appeared as if the opposition was stationary at some points.
bonus points for decent quality audio.

Judging by that first corner the cars must get messed up a fair amount (multiple lockups)

The red RX7 tore nearly all of it's teeth off the crown on pinion diff gears. That was the last lap too so he wasn't real happy. Fairly easy thing to fix though.

Specs on the yellow car are as follows:

Specifications:

* 13B Bridgeport Turbo Rotary Engine (410rwhp)
* Racing weight with driver ~1090kg (~2400 pounds)
* Dowelled, 'Tuff-Stuff' Apex Seals, Series 5 Sideplates
* Microtech LT10S ECU and X4 Ignition Booster
Built and tuned by 'Rotomotion'

* Custom Foam Filled Fuel Cell with built in Surge tank
* 2x Bosch 975 Fuel pumps
* PWR Intercooler 400x460x75, PWR Radiator, Oil Cooler
* 3" Mandrel Exhaust

* Standard Series 4/5 Mazda RX7 Turbo Gearbox w/ Guru Short Shifter
* Clutch - Twin Plate
* Mazda RX7 Diff with Kaaz 1.5 Way LSD Centre
* 28 Spline Rear Axles in Harrop Full Floating Rear End

* Front: 305mm x 28mm AP Rotor (Floating)
AP5200 Series 4-pot caliper
Pagid RS14 'Black' Pad
* Rear: Nissan Skyline rotor and caliper
Ferodo DS2500 Pad
* Tilton Pedal Box with internal bias adjustment

* Front: Lovell springs, coil over shocks GT4 Toyota Wet Legs
* Rear: King Springs, shocks Koni Series 8211 double adjustable
* 15" x 7" Performance Challenger Wheels
* 225/50R15 Bridestone RE55S Tyres (Street Car Class Control Tyre)

* Custom CAMS Compliant Roll Cage
* Carbon Kevlar Full Body Velo Seat
* Willans 6-Point FIA Harness
* Stack 8100 Dash and Lap timer
* Quick Release Steering Wheel

---------

The red car uses a very similar engine and gearbox package. The roll cage and suspension are more developed than the yellow car though.

Talk about a hand full. THose things were slooooooppy.

Yellow driver takes better lines and had better gas control on the turn exits. HE also early shifts in sections to keep traction.

Yellow FTW.
