Meet at the ring

[Fallguz]

hey guys

What a fun weekend Hope all of you had a good ride home without incidents!

I was happy meeting you guys, unfortunately we were often busy doing laps on the ring, so in the end I couldn't say goodbye to most - but it was really busy so no worries.

I hope you guys who got rides with our buddies in their hachis had some fun, too By the way, my co-driver and I switched places often, that's why it looked like I was running the ring all the damn time I only did about half the laps.

As mentioned above, it was impressive what can be done with this car on the Ring! I was running the pretty soft trd setup, plus trd brake pads and it performed really really well. Corner entry speeds were just sick. This car stops sooo well, probably due to the light weight and all. We could take on many much more expensive cars in the corners easily. On the straights it was a different story, but when taking the speed with you out of the corner, it was still possible to run pretty decent lap times.

For those who care, lap times with my AE with street tires, and a bad understeering alignment (needs more camber) were around the 10 minute mark. I'd say the best runs were maybe 9:45 or 9:50 max. A racing driver would probably be capable of doing a 9:30 or 9:35 with my car, but faster won't be possible with those tires I think.

We really have to do this again! Nice pics guys, I'm also searching the ring photographer's sites at the moment to see if any of us were caught on camera.
