@leesturbo - height of arrogance to assume to criticize "missed apexes" as errors or that you see a faster line. Where he didn't take textbook apex routes clearly it was a faster line and probably a combo of traction and setup for the faster exit or faster pavement...3/10ths is a LOT of time at this level, for that matter knocking 3/10ths off my personal best at a track puts a BIG smile on my face, and lots left on the table as shown by *great* who driver took ~1.5-2s off my PR in my car ;)

[leesturbo]

wicked and there was a faster time left in the car/driver. it missed so many apexes

[dammitred]

@leesturbo I didn't see many missed apexes in that run, apart from the corners were there's more grip in the centre of the track because of the resurfacing like in turns 1 and 3, you can see him take it a little wider to avoid the low grip surface on the inside of the corners.

Loving that blow-off valve :]

@dammitred Finally someone who knows what they're talking about. :D

What kind of camera was used for this?

[somerandomaussie]

the sierra sierra evo needs to go to japans revspeed time attack battle and try beat the hks tsukuba lap record....then it will be the god of time attack....till then the hks evo is still god of time attack

[99ekcouper]

@somerandomaussie it still a EVO so evo is KING!! lol

[sodazman]

@somerandomaussie The HKS is a full carbon car which is really in a different league. This car still has a metal shell. 

[somerandomaussie]

@sodazman hks evo still has a fairly stock evo chassis but it covered in dry carbon body panels ...

[sodazman]

@somerandomaussie Which is why their lap time only counts under the OEM custom chassis class. The custom dry carbon panels gives a noticeable advantage to the car. Instead of adding in aero bits which add weight, they can mold it directly into the shell.

[somerandomaussie]

@sodazman cyber isnt the only time attack car to use custom carbon panels ... infact there are quite a few including the sierra sierra evo i beleive ...

[hsvracer]

Sensational !  The camera view, so often, doesn't give the right sensation of the cars speed, this angle rocks. Can't wait to see it down under at Eastern Creek ! Woohoo !

[HazarDWallacE]

blowoff sounds like a puppy... lol

[SteadyRepping]

The reason we care is because HKS isn't going to come down for some time that was posted on a friday practice session when god knows what was going on and what the car was running. Official Redline/Superlap times are what count, just like when a fastest lap is posted it's only counted DURING the race.

[canyoncanyons]

who gives a shit when the time was put down? the point is it was put down... its ok hks will be back soon ahahhahah

[peeweezio]

@Reason Yup. Not Official....but still damn fast, they will get there soon enough.

[Reason0684]

@peeweezio: Definitely! I'm happy for them to break it. Supposedly during the actual event they were only .3 off of HKS's time so it will happen very soon.

[Reason0684]

Wasn't this set on a practice lap so it isn't considered an official record because the HKS car did it during the actual time attack.

I was there too, this car is absolutely insane. I never imagined a car could go so quickly around CW 13 until I saw this car run.
