wow that car really has a ton of power. but aren't you guys leaving a lot of time on the table with the handling? Watched the video and was shocked. You might actually go faster if you turn down the boost.

The format favors high powered cars. It's a lot easier to turn a fast laptime with power rather than handling on a track you haven't seen and/or don't have practice time to get up to speed on...especially on street tires that don't offer much cornering grip.

However now many of the top teams have drivers who have been on all the tracks some in the same car they are using for the event..

I should be at the Autobahn stop as long as the weather is nice. I'll be sure to post some shots.

Great job in the toymoto but Davia won again, amazing...

How did this happen, smoked clutch or no tires?

1/4 mile 14th place Toyota Supra SSGT2 SB 0:13.750

Should be in the 11s or 10s with the 996TT KILL map?
