Re: beams vs rev3 tubby
That rev1 looks like bambi on ice!
Re: beams vs rev3 tubby
Don't see why that's not about right..? Tsukuka is a small circuit with some tight corners, the BEAMS has better throttle response and is a bit lighter, so it seems reasonable that a tubby wouldn't pull out that much of a lead over THIS track...
Re: beams vs rev3 tubby
nobody is saying otherwise

Re: beams vs rev3 tubby
it almost seems like the beams driver threw his lead away
mabye he just got a bit TOO relaxed in 1st place

Re: beams vs rev3 tubby
Some classic vids there Jay - especially the first one
Sorry to be a little OT here but can I just say that for all the times I've read on forums that the RX7 FD is a reliable car so long as it's looked after and the engine rebuilt every 60k miles... the timing for that FD breaking down and not completing a 5 lap Best motoring video race is just classic, lol.
Also can I just point out that the tubby Tsubaka lap time in the first video was faster than the best lap time for a certain Honda Type-R in the other video (fanning the flames of an age old IMOC debate here )

Re: beams vs rev3 tubby
The Honda Integra type R verses Tubby debate of course - search for anything with 'Type R' + 'Lauren' in it, lol.

...hmm ST202 BEAMS Celica -know a guy who had one. MY ST205 seems so heavy, can't imagine what it would be like with a red top and FWD.

Re: beams vs rev3 tubby
found a cool link, list of 240 production car times around tsukuba (amongst most other circuits)
http://www.fastestlaps.com/track3.html
i think the mr2 gts turbo (position 125) fairs quite well
plenty of cars faster that you would hope where slower but also a lot of cars suprisingly slower
with a boost increase/breathing mods (as most are running) i reckon it would have placed in the top 50

Re: beams vs rev3 tubby
It did a 1:08.23, which puts it in 106th position, not 125th?
They've mis printed it! ROFL!
