Wink 370z Attacking Losail International Circuit

Hello everybody

I got a like on an old post recently which is here

And I thought I will share how much the car and myself fared this 5 months, Thanks alot for the community here who helped me. I am still getting used to the car as it became much sharper and agile than it was within a short time, I think I should be able to get 2:25 or a second less. My current best 2:27.2 with consistent sub 2:30 laps, previous best was 2:32.8 in the Z and 2:30.8 in the Charger.

Thank you Rusty


Yesterday, I was at the track again and just wanted to get one hotlap to warm up for next two days (Autox today, and Time Attack tomorrow) tried a new racing line.

This is my lap, went bad, nevertheless, got what I consider a good time.

I participated in AutoX event, I absolutely crushed the competition I was first in my class, with more than 2 seconds from the nearest competitor, a Porsche GT3 driver. Also, I was 4th overall, behind a veteran C6Z06 driver, a Cup edition GT86, and Westfield kit car. I was half a second slower than the first place, the westfield. The car felt awesome there, and these RE71R such a beast of tires, the response is amazing.

Great stuff, try slowing your steering inputs to one smooth motion. I like the car and the track

Thank you m13s for the advice of course I am open to any advice there, as I am trying to improve for coming season where there will be some great events locally and in the region and I plan to participate there.

The car is a whole new car to me now, and I am trying to adapt myself to it, I am trying to see all the lines and smoothen my turns in warm ups and cool down to get the hang of it.

We have a different schedule and the season stops in summer due to hot weather. So, currently is the finale of the season.


Here is some more footages from today.

Worked with my friends to start a Time Attack event in Qatar and we did it. It is a new type of events here and most people preferred to watch instead of participating. So, I decided to join and ended in a class with Evos, STIs, a C63s and a Lotus Exige. I got competitive with the Lotus on first place and ended up losing it He upped his game and deserved to win.

I only took three laps to qualify, 2:29 -> 2:28 -> 2:27, only recorded last two.

The final hotlap, where it wasn't free of mistakes, had a better time than practice but not faster than the Lotus.

So, this looks like the end of the season for me, with one Autox left and a trackday. I am making my plans for next season and a Racing seat, bar and harness are high on my list. I may go for a BBK as I feel the Akebono aren't sufficient right now. Lastly, I will get an OS Giken Clutch kit (Single if they are still producing it) and LSD, as well as Final drive (not sure of the ratio, will check my speeds at the track, and decide).
