Performance tuner time attack 95 results thread

Please do not comment in this thread as it is only for the results.

I Do not wish to post in the initial thread simply because the results will always be hard to find. So let’s keep this clean and if you wish to comment please do so [over here] (Performance tuner Time attack 1995 - #258 by ramthecowy)
I will add people if they submit their cars in the next 2 hours, but come on, it’s been 10 days, so we’re starting the pre-race introductions

So let’s get into this thing.

Hello and welcome to Brands Hatch indy, where we have managed to piggyback onto a BTCC series as a warmup event for this weekend. The crowd is mostly slim, and uninterested in non BTCC cars, but this does not stop the action in the pit lane to be interested. First off let’s walk the pits and see what’s what

In pit #1 we see team FSR, led by Frank’N’Stein, working on a 1985 Direwolf. The original car had a 5 liter v8, and was able to produce 340hp, and with the car updated, upgraded and modified it will be interesting to see what a family saloon can do on a track

As we advance to pit #2 we see factory backed Erin team toiling away on the Group A spec Erin Nasaro, with quite a few modifications to boot. Originally a 240hp sportscar it was modified for competitions to Group A spec, laying waste to many competitors throughout the 80s, now brought up to spec of 95 time attack challenge, looking to prove Erin as a major player on a growing track day enthusiast market

Pit #3 is not as busy as the previous two, but it’s filled by hardcore enthusiasts. The OMG racing team has been seen all over the world competing in numerous events, and today they brought their hotlap challenge machine, fully upgraded and eager to prove the bigger guys that speed does not come from huge financial backing, and with the base car designed for brutal speeds, they have quite the chances.

In pit #4 we get to see yet another racing legend, a Lincorne Wapiti Rallye, the team is funded by Lincorne and is looking to see if performance market is as promising as they make it out to be. The car is as (almost) all cars here seriously modified, and is an actual model that brought Lincorne into the world of motorsport, so the pedigree is out of the question

Pit #5 sees team Bogliq, a comapny with seemingly endless supply of finances and manpower, now widening it’s grasp in motorsport over to the time attack series which were planned as an amateur tuner event, but prove to be everything but. What they bring in is a 1990 Bogliq Envoy, with little left of the stock car we get to see on the roads

In Pit #6 we see a new tuner company BlackDawn racing, headed by Vri404, bringing some fresh blood to the table, and judging by the state of their 1986 Eden Pyxis, they’re here for blood. The seriously modified GT is barely track legal, not to mention street legal, only track will tell if it will be enough

Pit #7 and we have another car created strictly for speed, the Scarab Eruption GT, modified by a small team of amateur racers to be an even more ruthless speed machine. Originally created for the hotlap challenge just like the Starter V2, this is a no nonsense v8 powerhouse, lets hope the driver is as mad as the car they’ve built

The 8th pit is occupied the Nordic Gods of tuning and all things powerful - team Hypera. The bearded lot is conducting their pre-flight checks on the signature matte orange Etalon XGti, while a few people are posted to not allow anybody from the neigbouring pits to see much of the know-how.

Pit #9 is exactly why Hypera has been protective of their secrets, it is occupied by a German army of engineers, wearing matching uniforms, the Kraft Haus Technik, trying to bring some spotlight to their products, both cars and performance modifications. They have chosen their own Saminda powered Tsukuba in R trim, which should provide an interesting battle against modified Saminda CZ6’s, who are running similar chassis but with a much bigger engine, unavailable to KHT

Spot #10 in the pitlane belongs to a small band of engineers led by Nomade0013 under the banner of GTL, a new found tuner company, sporting a Storm Envy GTL, in what seems to be a very extreme state of modification. Nobody knows what exact power outputs the car produces, but it’s sure clear that the tuner market has got a new serious player.

In pit #11 we find the Storm company themselves, who, unlike their many clients do not seem to have understood what sort of a competition this is, as they brought a Storm Serenity a v6 powered minivan. The car is definitely modified and can deal some damage, but before the racing has actually started all it did was raise eyebrows.

Number 12 on the list is a loner, a tuner / builder / racer STM316, running a heavily modified Puttzalong 2500, with it’s mighty 4 cylinder engine. The age of the car and it’s technology seem to be some of the most concerning things among their competition, but with the rech reglament being so loose, the old school sedan might be packing serious power in the light body.

As we move on to Pit #13 we see yet another small group of garage bred tuners, bringing in something very old and cool, the Ageous, a v12 powered 1946 machine, brought up to spec 50 years later, and put to good use on the racetrack. We do not know how much was changed to the car, but it could be just a fiberglass shell running the original v12, or it could actually be a full metal post war beast. We will find out on the track

The pitlane #14 is a lot more crowded than the previous couple, it is filled with the Znopersk team, who seem to have understood what they’re in for even less than the Storm team. A bunch of panicking engineers doing their pre-race modifications trying desperately to add some cruicial speed to a … completely vanilla, borderline stock Znopersk Zap, complete with 200hp and FWD. There is a lot of italian shouting in this box, and if the car is any indication, it will be more of the same as the season progresses

In box #15 we get to see a real classic, a Japanese Midnight club hero, the Dreamy Ghost, a yellow, heavily modified Saminda CZ6. The car looks as good as we all imagined, and the bunch of people seem to run around it in a spectacular fashion, with a sense of purpose, all knowing their exact place and job at any given moment. The car has proven itself on the long straights of Wangan Sen, and the flowing bends of C1 loop, but now it’s time to see what it can do on a racetrack.

Pit #16 is another gem of engineering, a 1983 Dom Max pacecar, upgraded, stripped and converted for pure speed by Airjordan’s little group, the main competitor for the one off should be the Ageous, but we will see on the track. The car has been fast on the first shakedown, but nobody except for the team themselves have brought stopwatches to see how fast.

The 17th position on the pitlane is yet another Saminda CZ6, the rare beast you’d be lucky to see in your lifetime has made two appearances in the first season of Time Attack, which is a good indicator. Team Stealth seems to taken a completely different approach to their build as the Dreamy Ghost. The car is black, inconspicuous among it’s peers, hiding well placed modifications from the naked eye, a perfect street weapon come to prove itself on a racetrack.

Pitlane #18 and we have a Storm GTX, tuned by UMGaming and his small private team. The small car seems to be competing for popularity with the KHT Tsukuba and the Saminda CZ6. The shakedown runs seemed good, but as usual nobody was keeping track of laptimes. The track will see the winner in this MR group, as well as if the lightweight sportscars can keep up with the heavier monsters packing all the power.

Number 19 is a pit of team JHW performance, running a Storm Breeze, with wings on both sides of the car, which we should all admit looks silly. The car has been a hit and miss with the crowd, somebody finding it ingenious by design, and some not paying any real mind to it. The team is ready to show what they got, however

Pit #20 is the new home of team SkidX, representing Dimension motors, using their RWD classic the Voyager. The car has certainly been modified to look the part and can go like clappers, but we will have to wait and see if this dark horse has the potential .

Running late and barely making it in time, pit 21 is a privately run Dimension Paradox mk3. The car has a history of being fast and easy to modify and the work by Ramthecowy proves this. A small garage of people have turned this car into a monster, while keeping the stealthy look, hiding the evil in plain sight in the streets

Another late entry unloading their car into the pitlane at #22 is a privately owned communitasia mkIV to be piloted by RileyBanks. The car is well known for being a cheap and sturdy enough car, with previous versions of the car getting regular visits by performance tuners. This particular one is riding on beastly tires and is wearing one of the most outrageous bodykits imaginable. Only the laptimes will tell us if this is a success or if it’s a futile build like communism itself

Gentlemen, get ready for the practice session

The British stage of our new found series has greeted us with … rain… naturally, because Britain. Since the BTCC weeknd is the main event, the competitors have to make due with little track time that the main event racers leave them, but that was not going to ruin the fighting spirits. As soon as the touring cars cleared the track the time attackers went out for their first practice session.

The expectations were low and most people came to see the amateur crashes, and failures. This was expected, but nobody seems to have told the competitors that. Almost immediately the BTCC laptimes started tumbling as more and more machines entered the track and picked up the pace. By the end of the first practice session the fastest BTCC class vehicle would’ve barely get out of last place on the Time Attack grid.

##The results are as follows

With no sign of rain letting up, and people genuinely interested in what sort of whichcraft was used to create these track monsters it was time for the qualifying runs. The tires were reglamented to the ones stated in the initial entry list, and one by one the competitors took to the track. Half the field felt as confident as they were in the practice sessions, while the other half had to run on slicks, which damaged their times drastically. Within the hour the results were in. As per the rules, those who couldn’t make it into the 110% of the leader’s time would not move on to the Time Attack round.

By the time the time attack runs were to commence everybody already knew about the outright dangerous pace of the PTTA competitors, so there was quite a turnout for the sunday runs. The track still soaking wet from the rain, and it did not see like it would improve at all, so slowly and carefully, one by one the qualified competitors went out and did their runs. Serious mistakes and badly chosen tires were the talk of the day here, and the results have showed this to throw quite a few spanners in the clockworks.

48.60 Airjordan (Perfect run)
49.16 GridGhost (Perfect run)
49.24 Rcracer11m (Perfect run)
50.94 Nomade (Oversteer + powerslide in Druids, barely cost time)

51.36 4LGE (Perfect run)
51.53 HighOctaneLove (Perfect run)
51.54 Squidhead (Perfect run)

52.32 Deskyx (Serious understeer due to aquaplanning into Clearways/Clark curve)
52.46 One85db (Perfect run)
52.99 Darkshine (Slight understeer in paddock hill bend meant a trip to the gravel trap, but thankfully not much speed was lost)

The official telemetry from Brands hatch is in and here are the inner workings of this challenge

Some explanation

Tires - Formula looks at this and if it states “slick” then it applies the weather modifier in qualify and time attack.
Drivability - if this number is less than the number in “mistake chance column” then you are going to make a mistake in in time attack run
Mistake chance - this is a random number from 0 to 100, it’s individual for everybody
Mistake severity - this is your lap time modifier in percentages (going from 100% (no change) to 105%, also randomly). It only comes into play if the Mistake chance number is higher than your drivability.

The weather for Brands Hatch was at 104% modifier, with a maximum of 105% possible. So a bit more water and we’d need boats, actually. Hope this helps.

We are at circuit Zolder (which has greeted us with a slightly damp asphalt and overall clody weather) and the competitors are slowly coming into the pits after the shakedown runs, trying their new setup changes. So far we’ve seen the Paradox Mk3 run by RamTheCowY getting composure on the track, RileyBanks trying to make Communism great again, little old school Puttzalong being tweaked, team FSR running a new setup they’ve started thinking about after Brands hatch and team KHT’s manager smoking heavily while a lot of neat German engineers were doing precise changes. Nobody else seemed to mind their spots on the leaderboard (Team Znopersk spent their time polishing the Zap and waxing their stylish moustaches) so with 1 hour left before the cars were called in for the first practice sessions we were to see another round of the PTTA’95

This time we are a warmup event for the people who paid to see the ADAC GT Cup, this time we will be compared against cars like Porsche 911 GT2 and GTR, which are running rampant, trampling the competition. As soon as the GT cars finished their practice runs it was time to let loose the tuners.

With the practice session over and a spanner in most of the teams’ clockwork successfully inserted the teams retreated to the pits and went about preparing for the qualifying session, seeing a lot of new faces behind the wheel. UMGaming’s privateer team saw a pilot change after the Brands Hatch, and team Blackdawn Racing’s CEO was not even present to see how the car would do. John Waldock tried to fix the visibility problem by mounting the seat a lot higher, but that resulted in the drivers head being pressed hard against the roof of the Storm Breeze. Team Hypera was mostly just raging at the Etalon and team Znopersk looking stylish as ever, but not really doing anything to the car. The Storm pit was full of cardboard boxes containing drivetrain belts and transmission fluid, so it seemed like everybody was at their… best? … and… confident? Ehm… They went out to the track for the qualifying runs anyway.

Once again the qualifying rounds have decided on which teams would run as a warmup event before the ADAC GT cup race. One by one the racers took to the track to set their laptimes. The weather was pretty good, and even though the track was not completely dry, it did not set the slick wearing cars back too much.

Event number 3 on the calendar, and we are in the United States of 'Murica, on what probably is the most Iconic non-oval racetrack in the states, Laguna Seca where we are once again piggy-backed onto an event. A PPG Indy Car series this time will leave no chance to the tuner cars assembled, but that does not stop people from showing interest in highly modified street cars.

As the shakedown runs commence we see the team run by Gridghost making minor tweaks and adjustments to the Scarab Eruption, as if that car was not fast enough before. The rest of the teams seem to be running the same setups they always were, but unlike the previous races the Znopersk team has seen many changes, a new crew complete with a new racing driver; That however did not change the fact that all that was happening in the pits was a bunch of shouting by very cool men in sunglasses. Another rag-tag bunch, team Storm has by now perfected their transmission swap technique and were looking very happy about themselves. As the Indy car runs finished it was time for the practice runs.

With the practice runs done, and the weather being unreasonably sunny, and the track dry (It’s indycar event, what did you expect, for them to run in the rain?), the competitors have lined up for their qualification runs. Everything went pretty much as planned and the results were exactly the same as in the practice runs, since no unforeseen problems with the tire choice were anywhere to be seen.

This is an instant double feature, since 0% rain meant the qualification is exactly the same as practice. So here are the time attack runs


With the slower competitors ruled out and indycars qualification runs complete it was a time for the time attack, while the track was empty. Once again, one by one the competitors went out to set their times. Laguna seca is a complicated circuit home to probably one of the hardest corners in the world, so naturally everybody had a rough time with it

1:33.92 Rcracer11m (Perfect run)

Here we are (In my garage with my brand new lamborghini) at the A1 Ring in austria, for the 4th event in the PTTA’95 series, where we are a side show for the big Moto GP 500 race. There were no real changes in tech or setups of the cars since round 3, so there isn’t much to talk about. As far as the weather goes we’re treated by a mildly damp track, so let’s see how the racers got on in the practice session.

As the racers have figured out that the only reason the Znopersk was in the top position was the fact that the Zap took first to the track and spent the rest of the practice session being knocked down by everybody else the people have settled down and got ready for the qualification runs. At this point the contenders for the first 3 spots could switch places at any moment, so it was tense for the Airjordan, Nomade and RCRacer’s teams, everybody else however was taking it pretty cool. Team KHT was trying to get into the top 3 by the end of the season, which put a bit of pressure on the crew and the driver, with everybody else just trying to score as high as they could. The Znopersk driver already knew that he’d be hitchiking home no matter how good he’d do, and the Hypera’s pit already forsaken the idea of Etalon being a viable car and already started talking abotu which car to chose for the next year. As far as the qualifying goes though

Well guys, this is it. The final round of PTTA95, Tsukuba, and unlike other venues the tuner scene here is booming hard, and we could secure the track all for ourselves. This time there is a RWYB runs warming the crowd for us, and we are the main event. With this we see some commotion in the pits, Airjordan’s team being calm and collected assembling the bodywork on the car after a post shakedown inspection, UMGaming’s team switching a lot of things in their car and Darkshine’s Wapity Rallye running slick tires instead of sports. Most of the guys have some sort of a stake in this event, more so than others, perhaps is KHT, who named the car after the track they’re on and would find it embarracing to not live up to the challenge and claim the win here. Another crowd favourite are the local legend - Dreamy ghost, and Phale’s Stealth, both running legendary Saminda CZ6. All of the racers knew the 1 minute mark that was fabled to be sacred, so they took to the track in hopes of making a name for themselves

The qualifying brought up more of the same wet weather, and the slick wearing teams got as grim as the sky. Most grim was darkshine, who just switched to slicks. The laptimes were to be set, so the racers took to the track one by one, cheered on by the very loud and overly cheerful Japanese commentator and eurobeat music.

With the qualifying done, and with the record amount of racers passing the 110% mark it was shaping up an interesting finale. Airjordan was looking pretty solid for the win, but if Nomade would take the win and Airjordan fell down to lower than 3rd it would be the end of his leadership in the championship. Racer11m has won the 3rd place even before the race started, but he could make a shot for 2nd if he was lucky enough. With Squidhead and Gridghost still fighting for the 4th position. Naturally the rain has once again thrown a wrench into everybody’s plans.
