RE: Support a Viper 'ring lap record attempt!

[F1GTRUeno]

Goalposts have changed since the Huracan came out though right?

[Viper]

the record attempt is going to happen soon, the two Viper ACR's are on the way to the Ring

[fatboy18]

Hearing reports that the cars have arrived and that the first attempt could be Thursday or Friday this week subject to weather.


The white truck with additional enclosed trailer allegedly is the team truck. but I can not confirm that.

It is a Production car on the road?
There was even one in Virginia Water recently The cars that they want to take to the ring are off the forecourt of a car dealership.


All those cars in that Video were also production cars? So I'm at a loss to what you mean?

Needs a reversing camera as that wing is obviously preventing them from parking properly within the lines.

[fatboy18]

Yes I see what you mean, that's why I have one on mine

[8.4L 154]

I cant say the wing is particularly noticeable in the mirrors on my ACR, Its just i have no idea where the front stops, which is a bit of a problem given the price of the splitter and the fact its the furthest forward part of the car, at curb height and directly and very solidly bolted to the chassis.



I don't like parking nose into curbs!

[fatboy18]

The cars are looking rather stunning,
The names on the doors are Public sponsors that have contributed large sums of money to make this happen.
Kumho tyres are also onboard with V720 tyres
The only additions to the cars are safety cages installed, so if anything the cars are a little heavier than stock for safety.
No other mods. (apart from stickers)

Please don't tempt me, I'm impressionable and may just do something stupid. I wonder how many miles (in multiples of 12) will be added before delivery though.

[Viper]

be quick, I doubt it will be for sale for very long

Woohooo!!!

Best of luck to the team, I'm excited for this one!

[Blayney]

Love this. It's an awesome thing to do regardless of what laptime they achieve.

[fatboy18]

Hearing reports that end of the week may be favourable

it's Friday Mark, the only free day available on the N'Ring events calendar

they have already mentioned the track will be shared with other manufacturers

[TheLuke]

According to Dale at BTG, Its lapping as I type.

Probably gearing up for Friday.

[Viper]

Weather is great at the moment, Viper is on track

[DeolTheBeast]

6.50-6.55 I expect

[8.4L 154]

They were just doing set up yesterday and I think that's the same today, The type of track time they have at the moment apparently doesn't allow them to film or time the laps (officially). Tomorrow is a different situation!
