Seven's Day @ GCRC : Part#3 Twin Drift

GCRC Battles are better and better.

 In this year we have been running the twin drift competitions the standards are way up there.




First up the Blue Copper.

 Chuck it in!

I will give a special mention to these two. 

Consistent and On line. 

In the three lap Twin Drift comp with the best lap judged by popular vote, It's a subjective formula as is any drift judging.  Judging for consistency, these guys are on the top of their game.

Now if you want to make it difficult, you can mix your settings. Something I like to do too.  

These two guys are running High CS and RWD. so there's a challenge in itself to match.  You can see their angle is a little different. but both are cool. If you can pull it off in a comp, bonus points are there.

Front runner here runs a smooth line... absolutely necessary and the chaser makes the lead guy look even better. 

These two called themselves "no hope"

A couple of the new comers to GCRC but picking up the fun very quickly.

 Enjoying it!

MEAN and Battle Ready!

I introduced these two as battle partners today. 

Youth  < ---- & ---- > experience  Putting on a good show for a surprise 2nd place.

Two pretty machines in tandem mode.

We run the tandem comp to promote "drifting side by side together" rather than trying to be the fastest or the most aggressive. 

It results in people running tandem constantly even when they are practicing. 

Only small mistakes opening up the proximity... Rock on!

Light is magical sometimes. When black becomes white. 

Can't wait until these two are constant door to door 

Enter the current title holders...

I have to judge my popular vote on through the camera lens. 

If I don't have to use peripheral vision, I know it's good.

Just ultra-minor taps and line changes the only flaws.  Check the videos to come.

Definitely on the money.

 This is High CS action at it's best. Definitely the pair to beat at this point.

Today I chose a new pairing for fun and to shake up the mix. Ben and I rocking 6 rotors between us. 

Reminders of Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift. transplanted Mustang Vs JDM monster. 

We almost pulled it off, I was able to get the nose of the seven under the rear bumper of the stang on a few occasions. 

It was good, but that minor mistake costs you dearly. 

So

1st : Smurfs : Jade and Nick : 77 points   Almost a clean sweep of the 1st place vote.
2nd : No Gap : Ridwan and Daniel 15 points
3rd : Strangers : Russ and Ben 14 points
4th : Upper Cuts : Charlie and Jack 13 points

Very close for the minors.

Enjoyable battles in the KDF scene.  Love it!

Mustang Saleen S7 Twin Turbo Design Sport Car

Mustang-Saleen-S7-Twin-Turbo-Design-Sport-Car

Saleen knows all about power. As in S281 Mustangs, N2O Focuses and the S7, America’s first (and still the only) mid-engine exotic supercar. When it went on sale in 2002, the S7 was the only street-legal car in the U.S. with more than 500 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The media and S7 owners have raved about the car since it first smoked the rear tires in anger. And it has been recognized by numerous automotive magazines as the fastest production car in the world. But during the past three years the automobile marketplace has witnessed an explosion of performance with models from manufacturers including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Chevrolet touting power numbers above the once magic 500 level.
Designed by Saleen engineers, the S7's engine and drivetrain incorporate the latest in modern racing technology. The new all-aluminum V8 engine casting was engineered and tooled by Saleen to displace seven liters. Redline is 6500 rpm. Space age materials and engineering are used throughout, including stainless steel valves, titanium retainers, beryllium exhaust valve seats, an aluminum throttle body, Saleen designed aluminum CNC-machined cylinder heads and stainless steel exhaust system. An exclusive Saleen-designed Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD) system results in an extremely compact engine, allowing for better packaging and overall weight distribution. The V8 incorporates a unique Saleen-designed side-mounted water pump, a belt-driven camshaft drive and a Saleen-engineered dry sump oil delivery system. The engine's mid-chassis placement optimizes weight distribution and center of gravity, making room for an unusually tall engine that allows for a very efficient induction system. Air enters a roof intake, passes through a 90-mm mass air meter and feeds into a carbon fiber plenum. From the plenum the air is routed to the twin ball bearing turbos, is pressurized to 5.5 psi max and then passes through an oval-bore throttle body into an aluminum intake manifold with eight individual runners.
