Time Attack Soarer
From the Tsukuba Super Lap 2009 coverage at Speedhunters.com...
Quote:
"I thought this JZZ30 must have gotten the wrong event or something, as you really don't see Soarers participating in time attack much! Built by Racing Factory Autobahn it came unbelievably close in posting a sub-minute lap with a
1'00"080! It looked like a drift car coming out of the in-field hairpin, the track and tire temperatures just that little too low to get optimal traction."

Agreed with these two.
So that's what an SC/Soarer looks like with a rear diffuser. Never seen one on our cars before.

Another photo of this car. Not a bad time, either.

"I decided to open this second and final look at this event with a shot of the Auto Bahn Soarer, a car that finally managed to dip below the 1-minute barrier with a
59"681 lap. Not a bad result for a car that is more associated with drifting than grip!"

^^ I always loved the time attack cars. The front end looks pretty damn cool w/o the high beams.

agreed my brother. this car is like ancient.
but it just goes to show how few SC owners on here venture outside of this forum for things involving other SCs.
