FR-S Cont to Impress me, last event of year... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

MarkRacerX · 10-01-2012, 04:14 PM

We had a Road Course, combined 2 day event, I finished about 2 sec lead on BMW M3, then a Miata took 3rd.

Many are soo shocked w/ stock susp how flat/settled car is through corners/slaloms/transitions!

FRS is opening many eyes, glad to see all you guys racing the car and Representing !!

I only have GoPro 1st day w/ nice lil slide 1st run before airing the rears down some to stick better. What a Course layout !!

Nice! I soooo want to do this... My car is stock right now.. and stock tires would kill it.

Congrats on the win! It is nice to know the car can do well in its class. I hope to run some of those events next year for fun.

Sweet! I plan on running my car in the stock class next year. Just need to pick up some nice rubbers

Congratulations on the win i really wanted to come out this year to octocross but just could get the time. Super bumed out, but it sounds like i may have got my car dirty (if you know what i mean lol)

Just watched the video looks like you almost lost it there a few times.

Btw there is a little discussion on the ssscc FB page how you crashed the club photo its kinda funny. And we have an event this weekend you sould come down and i can show you how its really done jk. But for real come down and run with us. Im running STR because of my points but it would still be a blast.

oops! I had no idea it was a Club Pic to be honest, it appeared a large group that all placed and were yelling at people to get in there - so I joined! Hhaha that is funny as I had no idea

I look forward to your video of doing a lapping day on the full track. It's a great track and IMHO much better after the redesign. However, that nefarious bump is still in Turn 1 so FYI when run the full track.
