Roll Call: Global Time Attack SLB 2017
#141
Few more pics from SLB.
Thursday morning right before the electric **** show started -
The rear section of the car was a throw together patch up job.
It will look different the next time you see the car -
Thursday night, firing the grill and a big box of parts in front of the car ready to be swapped in -
Friday morning engine config included this Bluetooth Rotrex setup -
"Won't need that duct anymore..."
Low hood line is low.
Note the huge difference between the heights of the two air dams, they used to be about the same -

Sitting in grid getting ready to go out for that last session my thoughts wandered towards the roofless, caged OGK tub we have sitting in the shop. That would make a pretty nice unlimited car next year. EFR6758, built engine for 470whp, Quaife, real aero, huge tunnels, 1900# w/driver, 275/295 A7's. That Unlimited RWD record might be within reach..

Alright got my video uploaded. Any criticism is welcome, Emilio, Sonny, Dan, Ryan, Moti etc etc. I feel like I could have cut the bus stop left hander deeper with more speed, missed apex of Phil's Hill, and not really sure what to do with the sweeper. Also need to brake later and less but with more pedal pressure everywhere it seems. Still haven't gotten used to just how hard I can stand on the brakes with the new aero. This is only my second event with it on the car. I think it has a mid to low 58 in it if I had my **** together.
Anyways, awesome event, my goals were to learn the track (never driven it before), have fun, see my friends, go sub 2, party, and eat Plowboy Sandwiches at Willow Ranch. Looks like all the boxes are checked. Looking forward to next season, really makes me want to start working on the RX8 but I've got stupid adult stuff to take care of with my new house.

Honestly, pretty tough to tell it was your first time there.
Minor, minor things:
Stay tighter on the exit of offramp. It doesn't seem like you're grip limited and might have been driving out to the exit. Tighter line, shorter path, yada yada.
Phil Hill and Sweeper looks pretty good to me.
That was a veteran Bus Stop too.

This would allow us to use a bit less draggy front end and a triple element rear wing with lower AOA. The rest is basic, more power, the Quaife sequential, carbon body parts we have here. Guessing 275/35 and 295/30 A7's on 11/12 6UL. All poured into our roofless OGK tub, rear radiator, see through front end tub.
Sorta related, we have been planning a bigger front brake kit exclusively for 10" or wider wheels. Just the ticket for a beastie like this.
Most of Creampuff has been shown but there is still more nut ball aero tricks to come on that project. It will weigh less and have a bunch more down force. By next year it could have the 360 engine in it. So that might be fast, ah yep.
