FIGS Returns to HPR: Track Lapping, EL Header, Ti Exhaust, Time Crushing
After a hiatus we returned to High Plains Raceway to put a lot of new things to the test. Its really hard to tell you how much fun it is to drive this car now, but this cell phone perspective should deliver a good sense of the experience. Its the first time we have been able to have instant power, pin point handling and no issues with overheating at sustained high RPM and high g's thanks to our new oil cooling system. This is the first video but we will edit up a more composite video real soon.
So many new things are present here, from our new track spec front upper control arms, to our solid rack bushings, hybrid motor mounts and complete EL Header/ Ti exhaust. The car is actually feeling fast everywhere and we managed to shave off 3 seconds from our previous benchmark (I would say with much inferior tires).
Still a lot more to come.

That is some awesome footage! Those EL headers really sound different.
This helps the sounds a bit as well.

Always great seeing your efforts on this platform and props on the improvement of lap time on the same course. Even after being discontinued, the car still has aftermarket support. We can all appreciate that.
Looks like your running R888s correct? How you like them?
Not very much. They get really oily at the temps we are pushing. Looking at new tires right now
