Default Forged Performance: Road Atlanta NASA Recap and FP800 Testing

Words and photos by Sharif:



The Forged Performance motorsports team returned from a very productive week at Road Atlanta. Although the purpose of this trip was to complete the testing and gather more data on the Catesby/Forged GT-R P800 Package, we ending up setting an unofficial street tire track record with <strong>a blistering 1:29.9 lap</strong> in Sunday morning's NASA Time Trials.



We have made several key suspension changes to the car since OLOA 2012 in May, and the car keeps getting faster and easier to drive. A 1:29 in ANYTHING at Road Atlanta is incredibly fast, let alone in a 3900lb car clad in 300 treadwear Michelin Pilot Super Sport street tires.

I did manage to take a break from doing video and grabbed one pic of Sharif on track wheelin' the Catesby/Forged GT-R P800 car.

Catesby returned from his family vacation in Europe, and he's ready to hop back in the seat in what is now much faster and better GT-R! With that, we begin the planning stages for our 2013 OLOA program. We have no less than four customers that will be running Forged Performance prepared GT-R's of various levels of performance in One Lap Of America. With a number of top shops and drivers slated to compete, it's sure to be a very tight race.We are also preparing a little welcome home present for Catesby that all of us will enjoy.

Jay and Sharif traded laps in their 100% stock powered Spec-GT-R's. It was a lot of fun watching them dice it up and turning some respectable lap times with nearly silent GT-R's. We couldn't hear the engine over the tire and air noise!



Mark West, driving his Forged Performance race-prepped GT-R in NASA racing this weekend. The car is detuned to the sub 400whp level in order to compete the ST-2 class. The car performed flawlessly all day and it's great to see more fully race-preppared GT-R's out there.





Mark and his GT-Republican!



Chad doing his thing!
