I was there. The track was really wet until about the last session at 12:30. All the cars in the A group went under 1min. We didn't get to make a pass as our brake hose broke during our first hotlap session.

We run the Prodrive GDB. The hose split apart from the banjo fitting. Driver lost brakes after 1 warm up lap. Went into turn 1 and had to pull ebrake to stop. Came back and pulled the wheel off to find a dangling brake hose. Bummers for sure.

Note to self: Cancel brake kit with "parking brake delete" option.....


BTW, did you lose all brakes or just one end? I had a front line burst, went straight (lucky to have run-off) but had a little brake effect available with the rears, didnt have to go to the parking brake "option" that time......

I almost busted a nut when I saw the Revolution FD pictures a while back. The ground effects they did for that FD is pretty insane.

Sigh

From what the driver said, he pushed on the brake and it went straight to the floor, then he started to shit bricks. Tried to stop it the best he could and spun the car around to tap a barrier. The car was fine except for some mud and the broken hose of course.

The translated version of their sight is really confusing, but if you shift through enough pages you can see attached photos of their ground effects.

Need someone who knows Japanese and English really well to do an accurate/readable translation.

Who thinks Tarzan will be able to beat JUN Auto's time of 56.595 Seconds with their new Impreza?

I think he will but then again Zero/Sports has yet to beat it with a 57.285 in an Impreza.
