Super Now FC 56.78 @ Tsukuba

Unbelievable driving here. Dont just watch out the windows of this video. Watch as he is steering in some of the corners and how much counter steering he is having to apply!

Congrats to Super Now and this amazing accomplishment in a FC

Do you ****** see how their new aero works on their car?! HOLY **** even at 75% throttle and the rear end wanting to step out at the corner exit they still retain that downforce that allows them to PUSH through the resistance. At certain areas it almost seems like the wind it pulling them through each corner. However i can see how they get make the 55/54 mark when they can address some apex cornering issues, because the driver is really fighting the snap oversteer and it would be extremely difficult to do without their solid front. But their engine combination is PERFECT, a responsive 600ps. Even if the driver/owner has some pretty damn good skills and sense based on the saw steering and throttle feathering in the video. I feel like the cars personality still looks like its being tested, and its not exactly working in exact harmony with the engine just yet.

I noticed the front wheels are smaller than the back. Looks like 15's. Does anyone know what tire sizes they are using?

The HKS is definately expensive but it is a steal when compared to a hollinger or hewland 6spd sequential mission.
