Sometimes a Ferrari is not the fastest car for a given track. The reason I highlighted this video is to show how a bunch of relatively small cars are struggling to get around the tight twisty corners of a go-kart track. Obviously for this sort of track you need a narrow car that can achieve shallow entry angles, much like most autocross courses where an S2000 might beat a mighty Z06.
Carlos Ghosen almost throws up in an early prototype, Nissan Execs browsing Autoblog in a Staff Meeting, and peak at the rumored 50KG of testing equipment mounted in the trunk of the Nurburgrin GT-R. All good stuff.
Just a little teaser video of the next episode of Head to Head. To be honest I thought they would hold this for the finale, since these were the big guns, but I have to say I can’t wait to watch the full episode (even though I know how it went down).
Guess My car will be in a few more weeks….sigh… patience…
So I was lucky enough to attend this taping. Big thanks to James for inviting me along, the StreetFire film crew had a blast, and shot some behind the scenes.
Of course those of you that have been following this blog know that my GT-R participated in one fo the shoot outs. I’m looking forward to that one being shown soon so I can really talk about the times.
