That’s a really nice clean looking race car. Love the APs. I’m not familiar with the series, what’s the engine, box and suspension spec?

Is that an AIM dash / data logger?
Thanks man. GTS is a weight-to-power class so pretty open in terms of suspension, engine and tranny. You do have to take a .2 penalty for a dog box. I am in 3, which has an 11:1 ratio, and is done through a calculation based on HP, RPM, and TQ. Roughly my car is 2800 lbs and 258 whp, so probably nowhere near the numbers of yours.

Yes I have all my sensors hooked into the AIM dash, I love that thing.

Have you ran the R5 yet, or still new?

Haven't seen any watches!? I don't want to step on Joe's toes, so I won't mention wives/gf's.... :fro:

We’re a, maybe, 300HP 1.6 with 32mm restrictor and only geared for 110MPH. We have competed in it, I’m the codriver, and it’s been awesome so far. Not as much grunt as the Evo and very different, where the Evo was stiff this is very soft and does what it does by transferring weight. The brakes are amazing.

What kind of box are you running? Are you doing any analysis with Race Studio? I do data management and analysis for a Radical SR3 as well. I strongly believe the only way to go faster is through proper data analysis. Also good if you can get hold of some competitors data to work with (and the reason our WiFi enabled logger is locked!).

Yes of course, we have a few cars in the same class with similar setups that review data together. As for box do you mean data logger? I have the MXL with the Evo3.

That’s great, none of the Radical guys here will share their data!

Sorry, I meant the gearbox.

zf 5 speed manual! I like old school shifting. Yeah there is an unofficial battle with e36m vs e46m going on in our class so us e36 guys share data. :) Luckily about 7 or 8 of us are pretty good friends and want everyone to go faster.
