That thing looks wicked, i skipped through the 8 hours of footage and watched all of the day 1 track time of the car.

edit: just watched the hammerhead car jump ahead 2 seconds, wow. that thing is fast.

Good luck! 🏁🏁

Was just watching, commentator said he had talked to Rod and mentioned he wants to go billet block next year!

Looked fast yesterday Rod. I think the opposition can crank the boost up waaaay over what you can which has you at a disadvantage. Especially down the main straight. Good luck later this afternoon.

Good luck Rod, I'll be glued to the screen this arvo! Awesome run by Slade this morning, I hope the RP968 still has a bit of fight left in her!

We will give it a go, but that Silvia is a good package.

Yes it's a fact! 800hp is not enough!

We got a second in the last run and got to second, so it's a quick 968! Very fast times this year.

Congrats on a good last run! Looks like you guys got the suspension setup figured out as the car was not bouncing nearly as bad. I'm excited to see how the car develops for next year!

Great effort Rod. Good to get a fair bit of development done and bugs ironed out. Would be interested to know how much boost / power those other guys are running. I'm sure they were many 10's of kmh faster down the straight than you guys which would have been the difference just there.
