MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Just finished my first endurance race in a 1g DSM!

I'm not about flashy or bright. I'd much rather win and have nobody realize it

Action shot:

Unfortunately we lost an alternator on saturday which took us out of the running (still put down fastest lap in GP2 by a good couple seconds with Shane doing a 1:46.41 and I did a 1:47.XX)

On sunday I drove first, getting out of the car in 4th overall/2nd in class, Rob got in and within 20 minutes the turbo seized. I have never seen a turbo fail like that, i'm interested in doing a teardown to find out why.

Car has some more bugs to work out but it is obvious to me this thing will have no problem with the speed required to go for a win.
