Default First race with the new car

I didn't have enough to compete with the BMW. The class they are in is GTS3 and generally have better weight to power ratio. They also have much grippier tires, with majority running Hankook and Hoosier.

I'm running Toyo RA1. Honda challenge rule set.

Woah, check out the 2:09-2:10 Mark, the white BMW in front. Dude gets up on 2 wheels, especially the front right pretty high over the crest! Haha!

Nice driving man. You ate them up in the corners but there were too many straights.

Nice driving and good watch.

How does your S2K compare to the E36 M3 you drove at the 25hrs of TH? And in general, how do you think similarly prepped S2Ks compare to E36 M3s?

Just a curious question for someone who has a lot of seat time behind both cars.

Also, how does your racecar compare to "Irene" (aka - your green GTA car with Tunerplayground)?

Car is built to H1 rule. Small splitter, J's wing. Min. weight is 2,605 lbs.
We can't have canards, fancy schmansy stuff. Pretty basic for H1, as the S2K in H1 is considered limited Preparation vehicle.
We replaced my Penske triple with Penske double, cause I get to reduce 50 lbs.
Engine completely stock. Intake we run CT Engineering, Muffler, Berk. No header at the moment.
Rota Grid 17x9 with Toyo RA1.

Pictures of the car and the built.

I like it, but we still have a lot of work. That was literally the first time it hit the track.

One of the BMW that passed me was the sister car of the E36 M3 I drove at 25 hrs of Thill. That car is much faster with a lot more power. The M3s I get to play with all are GTS3 class with pretty much unlimited aero, and 11:1 weight to power ratio. It sound close as my car is 11.8:1 weight to power ratio. However, people been playing the game nowadays with that formula. All the front runner M3, including the one I drove at 25 hr enduro are running S54 engine and producing 340 whp and more uncorked. However, they detune it to make 250 whp or to get 11:1 ratio. The M3 I drove in particular have a flat power band. Once it hits 250 whp, the throttle by wire slowly close to maintain 250 whp all the way through. It start making 250 whp in about 3500 rpm. So the area under the curve is very significant, and this proved to be the winning formula so far.

Green Goblin is fast. Maybe a little slower than my car. This is due to my car was properly built. However, the green goblin has more aero. Green goblin is really close to performance with my car at the moment.

Thanks for all the kind words.
