I have to post this vid here. This is my friends car--Don Yaun. Don will win the NASA SE TTD championship this year if he hangs on for one more track w/e.
Mike turned a 1:52 in this car at this track.
Its a NASA TTD car.
The fastest TTD time that w/e was a 1:55.
This RX8 has 102 K on the chassis/trans and diff. It has approx 4K of track miles. The engine is a Mazda replacement approx 7K ago?
Notice the rear inside wheel slippage on a couple of turns.
Anyone else ever have this problem?

IMO that the rear sway bar is too tight so that he can get oversteer.

Like I've said in other threads, I've played with sway bar stiffness a lot on a RX3 where you couldn't easily change the camber.

You can get bars stiff enough to run on 3 wheels, and Don's car is close to that, so he needs to loosen the rear to get traction.

 

sweet vid.
