Could it be that no one has found a reliable way to turbocharge the FA20? I don't know exactly how the rules work in Europe, but they seem to separate NA and FI into separate subclasses. All the 86 successes I've seen are with NA engines.

After a year and a half of trying, the Scion/TRD/Robert Stout Racing FR-S has proven to be a disaster trying to race against the big boys in the GTS class in supercharged form. Scion should follow Mazda's example and race the FR-S in the class where it belongs like the former did with the MX-5 with great success.

FYI, the race just started. Lead car is a McLaren lapping in the 8:20s. Class sp8 leader & 27th overall is Gazoo LFA (#48). Class SP3 leader is the Gazoo GT86 (#86). In class V3 positions 1-5 are all Toyota GT86s, followed by a Miata in 6th. Only 23 hours to go!

Never knew an Opel Manta was that quick. In the v3 class the 8 GT86s that entered this class are now running 1-8, then a Honda Civic R, a Miata, Renault Clio, Subaru BRZ, and Opel Astra. Interesting the BRZ is struggling...

Dang, I'm going to miss the finish--have to board a plane. With 2 hrs to go, a few class leaders are:
v3: Toyota Swiss GT86, Toyota Swiss GT86, Honda Civic Type R sp3: Gazoo GT86, Renault Clio Cup, Opel Manta sp8: Gazoo LFA, Aston Martin Vantage V12, Aston Martin Vantage V12 spPro: Gazoo LFA, Porsche 911 GT3 RSR The last 2 hrs should be interesting. |
