Nice channel thanks for sharing, will enjoy watching all of them.
Cheers, same for you!
Not a bad lap but with your setup and AD08R tyres I would expect to go quicker. A stripped out e36 328 sport with 224/45 Sport Contact 5's with 2 up (roughly the same power to weight) can consistently do under 3 mins and 2:55.x hot lap. There is room for improvement of lines, braking etc.
Initial D 1st stage if it happened 20 years later
Initial d but it's 2016
If the GT86 was stock I doubt it would beat the RX8, especially a PZ Prodrive version. But you had R rated tyres too, no contest unless the RX8 had them too…
When I had an RX8 I always wanted to see a road test between it and the far newer GT86 but no one did one?
I noticed the RX8 driver was missing his apex’s all the tine so obviously not as good a driver as you
I have a Cayman S now so the road test is irrelevant now! Lol 😂
Very good skill to out power an rx8 with only 205hp
Mazda wants a set of your AD08R's and an alignment! would be more evenly matched on corner entry, mid and exit. Yours even pre-SC has a torque advantage and obviously better brakes but it looks like you mostly won on mid corner.
RX8 had R888s (arguably a better tyre), coilovers, chassis bracing, was stripped with buckets and a straight through exhaust. Also was the 231 model, so higher top end BHP vs 86.
Also he wasn't carrying a passenger and I had Jason's heavy ass ;P. We caught him very quickly, unfortunately the GoPro wasn't on from the start of the session, which I seem to have a terrible habit of doing.
86TrackDriver the Mazda fanboi and underdog supporter in me wanted to give the RX8 driver an excuse for getting chopped :-( heaps of body-roll visible on that car, surprising that it's on coilovers tbh. still, he looked to be having fun and making mad noises, which is all that matters!
It was a really fun day, we played around a lot, letting each other go past so we could chase. He was super safe and we exchanged numbers, so I will invite him to future track days.
The car was SORN and quite old, he picked it up for £1.5k I think, so bushes and suspension may be a little ropey? Sounded immense though.
86TrackDriver i beat 86’s all the time in My Rx8. Guess it was the driver?
I had an... RX8 and it is the absolute perfect car.... it just needs a other engine -.-
Why? The rotary is amazing
TheAlex0903 my engine died... and it was sad to watch. Crazy hight Fuel and oil consumtion, lack of power, hot start you can forget it.. etc...
@@Janpva. driven by madness youtube channel explains how to take care of it. And is easy to rebuild
TheAlex0903 it would be better eith an mx5 engine or electric...
