As topic description suggests, should be interesting to see.

Here is the current board=

I think it will sneak into the top 10....

Well into the top 10, being 4wd and basically purpose built it will flog em on the track....also the straight they use isn't huge so terminal speed shouldnt come into it. Its a stretch but it may well choke your chicken... as stated purpose built 4wd it will be right at home.

maybe..it did well around the 'ring as its a LONG track...on a short track the more nimble cars should school it...i think ur right..like 10/11th...its 1740kg and 480hp..the weight just seems to be too much of a problem on a short track...

There's no way it will make the top 10. These aren't your 'everyday supercars'; they're hyper cars. I love GTR's as much as the next guy, but basically every car in the top 10 is in another league.

One things certain it'll be quicker than the monaro......that'll do smile.gif
I still reckon it'll surprise a few with it's tractability regardless of weight, none of the top 10 cars are quarter mile animals...quick but they don't put the GTR to shame and the majority are also rwd..well balanced yeah but the nissan should be pretty flat and quick around that track.

I'm sure it would beat the 599 with the Fiorano package and from memory the McLaren smoke the tyres harder than a VL at a wedding so i'll go 11th behind the Ascari KZ1

In THEORY it should fit somewhere between the Carrera GT and the GT3 so somewhere between 8-15th - but I'm expecting closer to the GT3 time than the Carrera time.

Even with my Skyline blinkers on I'd have to agree.
Would love to be proved wrong though.
Would the 180k limiter be an issue on that track?

Don't forget how well the R35 GTR did at the timeattack. 1.01 stock... look up other stock cars around tsukuba.

The 360 Challenge Stradale did 1.02 around Tsukuba, and is in 14th place on the top gear times.

So yeah i agree with Snowy. Faster than the GT3, but slower than the Carerra GT. Around 7th-15th is my guess. I just hope it's not raining when they do it, i hate when they test cars in the wet, hard to judge against other cars then.

Except it's already "school"ing the light cars around short tracks such as Tsukuba.
