Re: Stage 2 GTR
Did you manage to have a session with him at all? I'd like to know how it would compare to your motor.

Re: Stage 2 GTR
Spoke with the GTR owner as yes it was him. He said it was his first track day so was braking earlier than he should have and had his gearbox heating up to 117 degrees and I think in the GTR this means clam down a little. Excuses, excuses he said and then said he was a bit of a cack driver. It certainly showed at Combe when his first session was quite slow and the third was a lot faster. He said he then went round with an MSV instructor and got an extra 3 seconds per lap. He just bought these as well:

Any idea how these will compare to ceramics on the R8?
Same may apply to you of course Nudenut. Either way get me in that R8!

Mmmmm ok, lol, he wasn't slow by any means, don't worry I wasn't having a popNickyboy wrote:Spoke with the GTR owner as yes it was him.

Re. brakes then I can't comment on the GTR, have heard the std setup can suffer a bit from fade on track but have seen many GTR's complete 15/20min sessions on track many times during a day even at Spa, ceramics don't nessasarily give better braking just resistance to fade and longevity (I have done 2 x VMax/Snetterton/Silverstone/Cadwell Pk/Brands/2 x 'Ring in my car this year and brake pads are hardly touched, I can run for 30min+ without fade and only come in as i'm knackered)... you shouldn't compare the two cars IMHO.. the R8 V10 is near 300Kg lighter and mid-engined with NA engine pushing 600PS and I was on 888's... I'd have been very disappointed if the GTR had the legs on me on a twisty circuit even with it's elec wizardry. I always think of the Panamera when comparing cars with the GTR, had same issue with my C6, every Porka turbo owner wanted to compare their car with my 2t Avant... cars are for driving and enjoying, petrol heads will always compare speeds regardless but it's feel that counts.

Some good points listed above and quite an interesting read. I know you weren't having a pop I was relaying what he said to me.

Re: Stage 2 GTR
im sure when i was pax with PhiT in his GTR round Cadwell he would get worried when his gearbox oil got to 140degrees
Re: Stage 2 GTR
Maybe he was being over cautious then.
