AlWakRa 370z's Journal - PW from Qatar

aaaah Sorry man

I was very desperate to push it hard and was very disappointed after that, I wanted to spin there while trying hard. Also I had a sprint event next day where I couldn't use my car, anyway, my friend was kind enough to let me jump there in his C6 Z06, he is not making me any favours, he is somewhat convinced me to jump onto vettes bandwagon

My car update:
Today I had a call from my mechanic saying the shims needed to be replaced as well as the bearings. Everything else looks fine.

After long time without action, I am back in action, I with some friends organized an Autox event, just for fun, and we did some fun runs after finishing.

This is the course

This was one of my runs, I was nearly going to set the fastest time of the day but went off course

The best time was 1:15 a friend in an EvoX (AWD was very helpful with the slippery surface), I did 1:17 in a clean run with the 370, and 1:24 in the 392.

I didn't skip the big guy, couldn't resist when my brother came in it.

Last trackday was very busy.

First took my 370z and broke my fastest laptime. I was @ 2:27, and now I got into 2:26. But this isn't its limit at all, as a friend drove it and he got 2:23

I have a full session video but still needs to see check it before posting it.

Then, I took a Lexus RC-F to the test, I don't know if the tires are the culprit, but it understeers a lot at the limit. I got 2:30 with it, which matches my Charger SRT time

Last, I drove a friend Honda Civic Type R (FN2), the chassis is stiffened a lot and it was a great drive as the response is fantastic, but of course couldn't beat a balanced RWD car, IMO.

This is my lap

So as I said, this is full session with the car, couldn't get better time but I was getting used to the car, and I think one of them I would break into 2:25 if I was in the right gear at each turn.

Also, this is from an autocross event

So, I changed the setup a little, I returned the rear sway bar (whiteline) and the car now oversteer if I am not careful, but the LSD is doing a great great great job at locking the rear wheels and for better predictability and control of the car, it is one of the overlooked upgrades that adds a lot to the enjoyment of driving the car, even my friend who drove the car is looking for a 370 now

he is a toyota 86 cup driver and had a Porsche GT3 before, but he enjoyed it a lot. I have some plans and I hope I have time to do it next track day
