Rev Speed Super Battle.

The Rev Speed Super Battle is Japan's premier Time Attack event. Although it doesn't include any Option Magazine sponsored cars, it still has more than enough cars to fill you day.

For roadster fans Nogami Project = Nopro. Gami-san's silver NC is a real track weapon. It has a 2.3 liter engine upgrade with a straight through exhaust. It runs 255/40/17 street tyres and laps very quickly. For today hae added the straight muffler and a new splitter for extra downforce.

Brighning is Japan's cosworth supplier and their NC has recently obtained a few more mods.
It was already a mighty car with straight exhaust, ECU tune, Aim Meter pod and AP brakes.
Now it has;
1. Cosworth Supercharger,
2. Canards,
3. Front fender wind defectors,
4. Garage Vary carbon bonnet and
5. Advan RZ with 235 Neova.
On track it looks the goods but it's sooooooo quiet. You would not know this car had a Supercharger until it went past you.

Nopro's car on the other hand sounds AWESOME! It growls like a bee blowing a tuba.

Together on track they both looked awesome. But brighning were fighting traction as the track dried out.

Some more coolness under the bridge.
At the main hairpin. Minimal roll.
Both cars were running 1.06 and a few hundredths with Nopro a shade quicker. Over a full 3 seconds quicker than NR-A spec 2.0L
When the car's went out for the second session, Brigtning had removed the rear GT wing.

Still tough. Note the front window surround is Black. strange.? maybe it looks good without the hard top.

Nopro's splitter carved through the pit. But did not return from the session. I didn't have time to get final times and ask but I'll find out soon.
