Video showing Alex's first ever race

Our new French driver Alex joined the team recently and with no prior race experience hopped behind the wheel of our BB6 and did a great job. He cut this video of himself. His driving is quite smooth and quick. He was easy on the car and did a great job. Nice job on the video too Alex.

Simon created a short video of our victory at Ebisu. Enjoy!

Ebisu Practice Video

As Saturday was cancelled due to snow, I thought I'd put up a couple of practice laps of the 3 drivers. The car as you can see was quite easy to drive. The back was perhaps a little hard though as it did tend to hop along in places. Braking and turn in where excellent. The car has come a long way! I think we would have been pretty competitive.

Ebisu 1'10.569 Qualify Lap

This post is over due. This is our qualification lap from the last Ebisu Endurance race of the year last year. We got a 1'10.569 which is pretty decent. We were on brand new tires, so I took it easy on the first lap after nearly ending up off the track through the first chicane when I forgot the tires were not worn in yet and they just went from under the car like it was on ice. Luckily, I collected the car up, got around a lap and then set our qualify lap before coming in for a pressure adjustment. That turned out to be our best lap!

Fuji Speedway Video

Simon took the Prelude out for its debut run around Fuji Speedway late December. He discovered much to his amusement that the car was still limited to just over 180kmph. Still he strung together some fine laps and managed a best time of 2'13.654. I was pretty impressed with the way the car handled and the way Simon took the 100R. Nice driving Simon!

TGR - The Behind the Scenes Movie!!

Thanks to team member James and his mini HD video camera - this man has obvious talent, and not just behind the wheel!

This was recorded the day before the race - we got to all practice driving the car, but while the car was shod with street pads and used tires. Hence the comments.



Looking forward to Part 2 (race day)!!! Stay tuned! Thanks again James!

Qualifying Video

Rod did a superb job qualifying us with a lap time of 1'14.5. Here are his last two laps of qualification where he got his fastest time. Well done Rod!

Btw, playing with TraqMate and combining the best sectors of these two laps, Rod could have actually got us a time of 1'14.2. Way to go Rod!
