It's a full slick. I guess the OEM tyres will have different sizes.

Just a thought, but those BBS wheels don't seem to be off the shelf. I'm thinking they might just be the stock wheels (ala STI) or at least a factory option (ala WRX).

To put it in perspective, it finished on the same lap as the S2000, a few minutes down. That's a damn good performance in my opinion. Have you seen the particular Type R? Looks like it belongs to a seasoned race team. This isn't a few hot laps at a normal track, this is endurance racing @ the nurburgring. |

LF-A is a different car, different class with BoP (balance of performance) rules. These rules simply state that the LF-A should weigh AT LEAST 1450kg and it has 2x ø34.2 air restrictors. |

Anyway, thanks for the insight in class differences. I was under the impression that SP3 was subject to BoP as well. |

Michel, you mentioned 200ps and I noticed that they are running race gas. There are no engine mods in this class correct? I wonder if they did some addition mapping in which might lower the oem HP.

Oh anyone else notice how the brake duct is just a hole cut into that fake blocked off duct? Fake duct on production?... Please don't add drag for this purpose...
