As mentioned in the article, they will be pushing the World Time Attack rules to the limit with 800hp, near 50/50 weight distribition with radiator and oil tank behind the seat in a much lighter body this time, closer to 1,000kg than 1,500kg. Sounds like they learned a lot from the rush last year and are getting it right this year. Can't wait to see it out there.I'll be circulating Eastern Creek in my 60/40 weight distribution 1,800kg beast on June 23rd (just about 20sec/lap slower!)

Tristan D Member 3 Member For: 13y 7m 6d Posted 04/06/11 06:00 AM Share Posted 04/06/11 06:00 AM (edited) I remember cringing when I watched Fernandez last year as he tip toed the falcon around the track because of his huge power and no traction. That ute looks crazy and if it is true what they claim that it will be close to 1000kg then everyone will start chasing the lowest weight rather than the highest power that we are used to seeing. I just hope they get it dialed in time as this is a pretty unique setup which has the chance to get everyone's attention on the Barra six tuning scene. They reckon the JDM guys will start swapping barra sixs into their Silvias, Skylines etc once all the Japanese engines dry up.
