PhilT Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Repost, but always good to watch how the wagon was putting half a dozen car lengths on the sedan once out onto the straights.

mickeyd2005 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I've never seen that video before. It was weird to see the wagon pull ahead on the straights. Going through the turns, the wagon looked like the backend was a little bit loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_KT Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Isn't that wagon ICY Racing's rig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 IIRC Goto said their car (the sedan) was down on boost during that race. That explains why the wagon pulled on the sedan on every straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Awesome vidieo! The RX8 driver must have been pissed getting taken by a wagon. Did you hear some sheet metal banging around when the second LGT tried to go around the outside? That was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going through the turns, the wagon looked like the backend was a little bit loose. The guy in the sedan was braking very deep into the corners, and the wagon seemed to take advantage of a power advantage on the straights. The wagon was considerably loose in turns.

RockyMtnGT Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 That was a killer vid!! So exciting...I need a cigarette! Obviously the sedan driver agreed not to pass the wagon in order to maintain the continuity of the video... I liked how they cut the vid when the Cobalt got in the way and then restarted it when the 911 turbo showed up!! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWortham Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I remember this video. Goto's car had some engine problems during this race so it wasn't running as strong as ICY's wagon. So it took some good driving on Brian Lock's part to even pass the wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOXRPWR Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 ^^^^^ NOT TRUE! Brian Lock was driving the GOTO sedan and he was clearly the superior driver with the superior car. Even though the wagon pulled away in the straights thanks to more boost, Brian closed the gap (and ran up his arse) in every single corner. After a couple "love taps" the ICY wagon finally got out of his way and Brian was gone! Steve is supposed to be sending me a DVD from the Phoenix race with the GOTO Legacy sedan. If I get it I will post it on google video site and do a thread link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Repost, but always good to watch how the wagon was putting half a dozen car lengths on the sedan once out onto the straights. Must be the better aerodynamics nice. Right around minute 7:30. Big gap with the wagon out in front. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REM87O Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I can't wait to get the Phoenix vid. Don't know if the ICY wagon was there again. When you get it, please post it up. I loved watching this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTCanada Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Does anybody know the suspension / tire differences between the sedan and wagon? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockerGT Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Original thread with Brian's response Lol, not quite. We had boost leek issues all weekend, and wrecking the car twice limited our time to find them . I am completely confident that we are going to have plenty of power at Barber. Mike Warfield from Gruppe-S is going through the motor next week. He will get everything sorted out. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?p=661867#post661867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinlsb Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Wagon looked twitchy. Driver on speed? Driver. The wagon got twitchy when he overheated the tires. Notice how his lines changed during the race. Soon he was sawing to stay on the line he chose. And they were different during the first part of the race, they were smooth,but on the edge. Later, he was protecting his position, not the thing to do. He should have been attacking the next turn, not worrying about the car behind him! "Belief does not make truth. Evidence makes truth.
