Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[Nugs]

Well, gives me hope with 500crank hp, aero and some suspension it may be able to compete with GT3's
But well, drivers here are fast and on slicks too.

It's obviously very track and driver dependent.
But at my home track I've only seen one GT3 time faster than my best (991 GT3 RS with experienced driver did a 60.5 vs my 60.9).

That was with a pretty basic setup, DP, OTS e30 tune, cheap coilovers, Apex wheels, A052s and brake pads.

I'm selling my OMP. Would already have brackets and sliders, saving you the three weeks and $500 I spent figuring out what works in our cars. ?
Best seat I've ever used.

Mine is for sale. Base model, so perfect starting point. You get the weight savings for free. No points. ? Plus the seats are pretty sweet, if you're a fan of the alcantara version.

Sent you a PM if it’s still available. 6’ and 180lbs. I can fit into a large Hans or medium. I’m in between sizes.

Any differences for the 3.0 premium and the base car when fitting a seat? I’m doubting there is but figured it’d be good for this post if anyone else is interested.

Well, so either gt3rs guys are very good here or supra guys weak, or both. Gt3rs here on diff tracks are usually 4s faster on ~2min laps.
Will see, i wanna do seat for now coz car is fresh&stock atm.
Also, seems like a nice part, i prob buy it since its not too expensive and local to me:

Floors and roofs are same on both cars. ??

That definitely sounds like something weird going on. I'm closer than that on longer tracks. Configuration will have a bit to do with it, of course.... But 4sec is nuts.

Well, 500hp Supras are not keeping up with GT3rs here, and Id say its rational given the aero etc.
U have shit porsche drivers in US?

That or your Supra drivers just suck ass.

So much depends on driver. I love my Supra but it is nowhere close to a GT3rs I could obliterate all my pb times in a GT3rs

I agree here. Gt3RS 991 is a 520hp car that is more or less track tunned from the factory with aero, also lighter at around 1430kg. They r battling each other here or cars like tunned AMG GT R or Formula F2000.
Also, the guy whos on podium 2nd year in a row in the series is faster in his GT3rs than in 600hp Supra..

So, at ~500crank with some suspension and aero I will prob touch standard GT3's at best, thats why I'm pondering what can be done more without stripping it and turning into race car

Are you gonna be at rd1? Which class?

 

[Evolution]

Should hopefully be there for round 1 as long as I get my car back soon. I'm in b2.

Yeah perth gt3 drivers are bad all money no skill haha.

Im running tarmac sports series in 2024 hope to see you out there.

Can anyone chime in on their personal experience with Verus brake ducts and how they’ve held up over time? Was there noticeable change during long sessions?
