Street RX-8 vs GT-2 Time Attack RX-8 Track Battle

Описание: Chasing Gary Wood's Canadian Time Attack GT-2 RX-8 at Pittsburg International Race Complex (Pitt Race) during the September 2016 Chin Motorsports Track Day event.

The GT-2 RX-8 is on Eibach coilovers and 255/40/17 Bridgestone RE-71R tires on 17x9.5" wheels.

The street RX-8 has a fresh rebuild while the GT-2 engine is a few seasons old, so I have a horsepower advantage, but his car and driving do a good job of making up for that in the turns.

Gary is a multi-time autoslalom and time attack champion in his region and runs the Ontario 1500 Track Day Adventure.
