Scooby Shootout - Sunday 21st May, Elvington Airfield, York
James Greenwood takes 2nd Place overall in the handling event, 2nd Fastest Lap time of the event and just 0.1 seconds from a win.
Offical Handling Circuit Times
After taking the decision to focus on the handling event the decision was made to detune our STI STAGE 4 demo car by fitting a smaller turbo and custom small bore equal length manifold to give faster turbo response and in turn quicker corner exit speeds for what was rumoured to be a short course. Luckily our decision paid off as our lap time was just 36.85 seconds and there was only one point in the track where we were using 4th gear.
The car set up also worked very well with the combination of the following complementing packages.
|
STI Twin Plate Clutch Package consisting of Exedy Racing Hyper Twin Plate Clutch & Racing Flywheel. |
|
Handling Package Stage 4 consisting of AST Competition Suspension, Whiteline Front & Rear Anti-Roll Bars, Anti-Lift Kit and Geometry Alignment. |
|
STI Brake Package Stage 2 consisting of AP Racing 355mm Formula Kit Front, EBC Red Stuff Ceramic Pads Rear, EBC Turbo Groove Discs Rear, Goodridge Hoses & AP 600 Brake Fluid. |
|
PFF7 & A048R Package consisting of 4 Prodrive PFF7 18" Rims, 4 Advan A048R 225/40/18 Tyres & Fitment. |
These packages allowed us to use some very hard launches off the start line, extremely high cornering speeds and some extremely late braking and to stop within the stop box after the finishing line straight out of a flat out 3rd gear bend!
Our driver James Greenwood was also only 0.1 of a second off 1st place and also the fastest lap time of the event.
Last of all we'd like to give a huge thank you to Surrey Scoobies for your support, for those who made it up and for those that couldn't. Thanks again guys!
