Forged had a really great weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park, in spite of the 6-8 inches of snow that fell on Friday night which made for a VERY exciting haul from Atlanta to Kershaw, SC. We arrived to the track on Saturday morning, to the sight of a half foot of snow over the entire track. Surprisingly by noon, the snow melted and the track completely dried out. :cheers:

By the end of the weekend, we set the fastest lap recorded at a NASA Time Trial event at CMP, with a hot lap of 1:36.8 <a href="http://www.mylaps.com/results/showrun.jsp?id=1404823" target="_blank">http://www.mylaps.com/results/showrun.jsp?id=1404823</a>
This bested the previous record for over 3 full seconds previously held by a 996 TT back in 2008. Thought I would share the results, and include a quick video of one of the faster laps. The track was a handful to say the least and very green after all the snow. Grip was lacking, and the track was very inconsistent through the day.

Setup:
Stock turbos
About 525whp (Dyno Dynamics)
JRZ Triples
Hoosier A6's (295/315)
Aeromotions R2.Two Active Wing

Congrats!..looks like you guys are going to have alot of success this year with the 370z and GT-R..keep it going!

 

 

the GT-R seems to defy all logic, physics and science. a car that large and heavy even with 525whp should not be that good on the track but it is.

 

+ those tires

 

Nice drivin Sharif! See you guys soon!

 

Congrats, Sharif!!!

 

1:36 is flying. Was your Evo Rivial there this time?

 

Congratulations!
