FTO Racecar

Post by Shane001 »

I guess it's about time I created a thread on the racecar ;)

I'll build this up over the coming weeks but in the meantime here's a couple of fresh pics :)

You stood your ground around the corners 8) The Supra seem to have rear end slide when their fuel load gets lighter?(taking wider line).Damn, it was getting good till the mishap :|

The car is looking great with the face lift bar and white rims on it, the silver rims look good on it too.

The owner John had a gun driver in for the first stint who basically destroyed the tyres, so poor John was battling with some pretty average grip. Still, I was running a well used set of tyres myself that were no where near their best :D
