Nissan Fuga 450 at Pukekohe Park Raceway on 24th August 2019
I uploaded this video as it has my fastest lap of the day, and my scariest lap of the day, skip to the 11:00 minute mark to see the lead up to that. See the rest of the description for the details.
The video is actually pretty boring for the most part as I start 4th, and past the 3 cars that started before me on the first lap. Lapping them again is where I get into trouble The dark green arrow is my fastest lap, the light green arrow is the current lap in comparison. This is pretty much at the limit of what I can do with the stock suspension and the tyres, my tyres are Yokahoma Decibels which are designed for quiet and comfort. My son in his G35 running Nexen Sur4 tyres can come over the hill onto the front straight at 160+ kph, basically 20k faster without squealing tyres, where at 140kph mine are squealing and the car is drifting towards that grass.
The scratching sound on the corners approaching the pit straight are the tyres rubbing as the front suspense reaches the end of its travel. I was pretty happy to see lap time as I had been getting a faster each session of the day, 1 min 29 then 1 min 27 then this session.
Then towards the end I try to take myself and an AMG Mercedes out (having just passed it for the second time). The go-pro stabilization of the video makes it look tamer than it was.
When they braked for the corner I thought they were slowing down to let me pass, but they were just doing their thing and probably didn't even know I was there so as I went wide I started drifting to the grass and once the wheels were off the track that was it. In the 23 days leading up to this day it had rained in Auckland on every single one of them, that grass was slippy.
Coming back on track, it might not be obvious but heading towards the wall and the curb I actually made the choice to put the wheels on either side of the curb. I had almost gone off there last year when I cut a bit close and put a tire on the grass just before the curb, it nearly bounced me into the wall on the other side.
So this time I decide the car was barely coming right and hitting that curb again was going to be real bad, besides I had had a sump guard fitted a few weeks ago. It was banging off the curb but it did its job.
It's probably obvious from the video that I scared myself, and then crossed the line, green lights flashing for the cool down lap.
