Ultimate WRX Slashing The Seconds


On sunday the 26th, we headed to Wakefield park for a round in the supersprint series with the aim of bettering our previous record of 1:03.5310, and we did so. We only complete 3 sessions in the day as the tyres were now well and truely worn, Jason managed to take the flying GC8 to a 1:02.4805, that was over a second faster than last PB, and with only some minor changes. The goal has been set higher for next race, with the aim to sneak in the 1:01 barrier. Official times can be found at, www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?26/09/2010.WAKE
Stay tuned as Australias fastest time attack subaru continues to smash those seconds.
