The outcome of the Nissan GT-R
"IROC" Super Series ...
Here's the 5 Soltit Chips that was needed, to help (Gordon 2, Arden 1, Ramesh 1 & yours truly 1) finish off this project.
It took (June, '13 - April, '14) a total of 10 months to complete the setting up of these 6 NSS cars. The longest compared to the other
IROC (PC, LS, FTC and MC) classes. The MC cars was done the fastest out of these classes, it took about 1 month - believe it or not (Dec, '12 - Jan, '13) to complete. Also, these 5
IROC classes came about in the years 2010, '11, '12. '13 & 2014 respectively, the same 5 years of FRC existence - an
IROC class per year
If I do say so myself - I found the first NSS
IROC racing event (Race Report #164) was very successful. All 6 cars worked well, right from the lights going out to the very end of the 3 races. The only thing that was very noticeable though, was the performance with stock rubber tyres over the (in testing) silicone tyres. If I could remember correctly - the first set-up car with Silicone compound was doing low 6's and the Rubber compound doing low 8's atm ... I was listening to all who liked what type compound to race with and in my mind, it weighed out like ~
6 of 1, half dozen of the other.
These cars (body type) being the biggest + highest center of gravity & with a 26K rpm motor (also highest rpm in the group ~ MC-18K, FTC-20K, PC-21K, LS-25K ) mounted in the chassis. Think all things being equal here, cars should race with the rubber tyres (at least) for the time being.
Good power to weight ratio plus acceleration and handling isnt bad at all - what you'll say?
BTW - I just remembered this ~ The SGTC
IROC cars was set-up in record time of 1 week
Glad to keep all informed.
