The r3v autocross video thread

What the fuck, that course was awesome!

Good driving dude. I always am iffy about R888/RA1/NT01 at autox since their temp window tends to be higher. They "work fine" but I'm not sure how competitive they are.

Thanks man. The NT01's definitely needed a bit more heat, but by the third run they were doing OK. It would have been better had I not been in the first run group. I know I'm giving up some time to the guys on Hoosiers, but it should still be better than ZII's and is my compromise for one set of R comps for autox and track days.

New season finally starts this weekend, heres some from last year.

^ who was driving these things?

[Balleristic31]

I was driving mine , the two white ones I believe were on bottlecaps, one with a turbo that got zero traction.

Nice dude! Not bad.

Yeah the guy in the turbo one is afraid of the car, lol.

On bottle caps I would be terrified of it too. My S52 car (which is relatively civilized by comparison) was pretty scary on shot 215 all seasons, I can't imagine a turbo car on smaller tires.

It was pretty entertaining not going to lie.





Still drifted with 225s.

This was not my best run of the day:





This was though:

ProSolo at El Toro

Then before the last heat i did some "enthusiastic warm up techniques" and this happened


Needless to say i'll be in the market for some new tires lol. Don't know if these V710's were heat cycled out but they never felt all that impressive to me unless they had lots of heat in them. I my may go with 225/45/15 rival with the hopes of some day putting them on a 15x9, but damn i wish we had lightish non-stancey 15x9 wheels available to us that don't require huge spacers. I'd also really like to get something slightly bigger then 225's under the car. Like perhaps a 235 or 245's. Any idea's on those sizes?

They have 15x10 as well. However there's not really any 245 tires in 15", only hoosier R6 in 245/50R15. There's more options if you go to 16"

[tinkerputzer]

Those need about 20mm of spacer to fit :/

[Gary Horneck]

Damn few options. I went to 17x8/17x9's with 245/40 front, 255/40 rear Direzza II's on ESM wheels. Not the lightest wheel, but the grip is way fun.

[tinkerputzer]

That set up sounds damn fun Gary!

Only options i can find above 225's in 15" are:
235/50 r888
245/40 A6
245/40 maxxis victra rc-1 (not out yet)

Lots of choices in 17's though.
