Watching that video and seeing the rx8 competing against gtrs and evos, and passing them put a smile on my face. I like cheering for the underdogs

you guys are so slow, i saw the race live in person yesterday and i met a few person which i prefer not to talk about their names and role in the racw

As much as i like rotary, it was no match to the evo and r35 with their 700-800 hp

I know both knight sports cars are tuned to about 500 hp. but what i do know is the kcr r35 is tuned to zbout 800hp using haltech. not sure about the was leading evo power. but if his car had no issue, he would have won with the 12 second led. and the other evo"s tire blew at thr straight. so its really a whole bunch of luck that the gtr and rx8 won this race

you just gotta be prepared, yea those evo could have won if they didnt have any issue, but that's part of the race too, real race not just abt the car and the driver, also the whole crew
the rx8 was surprisely realiable and no issue at all, only had 500hp still could keep up with the 4wd 800hp GTR R35, was pretty amazing already

yap, mr sun in the evo has got the macau circuit on lock, if it wasnt for the big hks and orido campaign last year, he would have won and def dominates all other evo's and r35's. u gotta remember the r35 2011 winner crashed out in '09 and '10 within the first minute of the race while mr sun is very consistent.

the KS boys need to go with a 3 rotor to level the playing field. but even then they might not win with AWD being such a big factor on the mountainous circuit.
