Sorry if there is another thread for this stuff. Please merge if required.
I completed my first event in the Mustang on the weekend. This is a great event held annually on part of the old Adelaide F1 circuit with approx 30,000 in attendance. I’ve previously competed here in a heavily modified 996 GT3 on r-compounds, and managed to get within 2 seconds of the GT3 in the mustang, running only MPSS, FRPP track suspension with BMR handling springs, CB005 and a catback. Factory tune. I even managed to catch and pass a 700rwhp Holden HSV GTS which had a supercharged LS3. Many spectators came up across the weekend and wanted to know what I had done to the engine. Far more people in the paddock showed interest in the Mustang than they ever did towards the Porsche in previous years, which gave me a bit of a kick!
I am genuinely amazed at how good the S550 platform is for motorsport! I had a feeling it would be a great base from which to start, but I was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of the car with only fairly basic mods in its current stage of development.
This is session 1
This is the final session. I came VERY close to putting the car in the wall at the 3 minute mark (tires had gone off and I became impatient with the gas on the exit of a painfully slow hairpin).
Thanks for watching. Can’t wait to get back out on track with a Lund tune and some E85 in the tank.
