Anyone find a good list of the overall classification? (to ensure these weren't 1st out of 3 results, haha)

DNF.

But it did have almost a minute faster fastest lap than the 86.

It was in sp8 though. Not sure what its spec's were.

I think the biggest bragging rights this race gives the 86, is that it had a faster fastest lap than the s2000 in its class. And beat the crap out of it terms of laps.

edit: actually there were two s2000's and one was faster than the 86 faster lap wise.

Could you explain what the criteria for the different classes were? Whats the dierence between SP8, SP3, and V3?

SP8 and SP3 are Special classes for racecars (Sp8 has more displacement than lower SP classes)

V3 are nearly stock cars (except brakes, cage, tires...)
and V3 must have 1800ccm to 2000cc displacement

SP8 -> Displacement over 4l. But honestly you don´t want to compare a work financed team (Gazoo / Toyota Switzerland) against a private Team (The GenCoupe). DNF happened to a LOT of cars (even a LOT of GT3 cars -> SP9 / McLaren MP4-12C GT3, SLS, R8 LMS, Aston Martin )... It is after all a 24h Race. And 2nd it happened on the hardest racetrack still existing... Don´t get me wrong. I am very happy about the result of Toyota. Especially the V3 cars. Because that means the car that we can buy will be good!

Definitely.

STOCK Engine. They even measure the engine power and only 5% more is allowed. (Tolerance)

Yes, good technical detail to note. It's not about power, it's about how you use it and how long it lasts.

So the GT86 in V3 class is the 200hp stock close to out of the dealer gate. Good car

BecauseRacecar · 05-20-2012, 06:09 PM

Thats awsome! Proud day for Toyota fans!

Davyator · 05-20-2012, 06:14 PM

C'mon Moto, you are the peacemaker. I'm supposed to be the one getting people all riled up....
