Default Congrats to GST Motorsports - 1st place finish @ Redline Time Attack

GST Motorsports is one of the Time Attack teams we sponsor and they are doing an amazing job! Congrats to GST Motorsports for their first place win Wish I could have made it to the event this weekend, sounds like everyone had a blast


From I-Club member pks04
"In Every event they competed in this weekend. They didn't only bet the competition, They DESTROYED it.

They ran for fun, heads up with the S2000.( like a nascar start) and beat them by 1.5 seconds. and that was just the beginning. On the TA morning session the S2000 broke the track record with a 141.xx. (track record was 143.xx). GST was running 143.xx at morning session. Mike knew he could probly shave atleast a second on the final session. The cars go out and get ready to run there last final session.(Let me First say this. Alot of people wasn't giving GST a chance when they ran heads up with the S2000). Gary takes the track. What happens next, blows us all away. On his very first hot lap, He just doesn't run faster than a 141.xx, He BLOWS it away. He ran a 138.xx.

This was an unbelievable weekend. I'm still at ahhhhh. Just unreal"

Running big BFG stickers on a Hankook-tired car.

So who gets mad, BFG or Hankook?



Congrats on the blistering fast time!

This is actually the first time they've ran Hankook tires on their car. They had an issue with their race tires before the final event so they switched to the Hankook's.

Quote from Mike@GST when someone else asked him the same question

"Good question, we have no idea we had not run full tilt until the final session and slapped the Hankooks on out of neccesity due to an issue with our race tires.

Given the compound difference I would imagine the car would need to be setup for the new tires but with no data to hand (not even sure on the cold pressure to start with) we just ran them with our current setup and went out to get a time (albeit with our race mapping loaded for that session)

Mike"

Hankooks are at a minimum 4 seconds faster than anything else out there. More like 5-7 seconds.
