Super Battle - Event

Hi Octane Racing from the Aussie brigade taking a little shortcut.

The fifth group was filled with just street cars, but they did have one competitor break into the sub-1:00 mark. This competitor was an Evo from MK Sports with, yet again, Tarzan behind the wheel.

It was amazing to see the cars from last year's Tokyo Auto Salon in action. Not only do they look really good, but these cars can also haul some serious ass. Another amazing aspect is how low these vehicles were setup for Tsukuba. The majority of the Open Class cars were setup so low that when they were making a few of the tighter turns their front diffusers were scraping the ground. The Rev Speed Time Attack Super Battle is very serious business here in Japan. There was so much manufacturer support from brake companies and tire companies to tuning companies-all with their key people out there tweaking their cars.

Look at the ride height on the M Speed R34. It must work because he clocked the fastest time of the day (54.481).	The Top Fuel S2000 was running a bit rich in their first session.	After the Time Attack event, the track was open to the public for open runs.
Rev Speed will be releasing a DVD of this event later this year.	Rev Speed made us sign an agreement not to shoot these cars on track. So we shot them in the pit just before they took the track.	With this event one month ahead of the Tokyo Auto Salon, we got a sneak preview on a couple of future TAS cars.
