Grant Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I was at Monza last weekend helping my mate (well just being there really and doing a bit of filming) he was racing in an Aston V8 Vantage N24 in the FIA GT4 series. We shared a garage with the guys from ProMotorsport who run a 350z. The conditions were rain for the whole weekend, making it entertaining for the spectators and scary for the drivers. The Z unfortunately had a huge problem - the pedal box was built too big meaning that the brakes could not be fully depressed. Any way here are some pictures and a couple of short vids of the Z - sounds nice. Rick Palmer - one of the Z drivers My friend Mark - one of the two Aston drivers Sorry can't seem o make the hyper link work for the videos - mods help please.

Tere Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I think the problem is PhotoBucket. For the past month or so links to it from many forums (including Z Chickz) don't work. Recommend finding another photo server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hmm, lots of mods there. What sort of bhp is the Zed pushing? Did you find out? Did the Vantage go like the clappers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hmm, lots of mods there. What sort of bhp is the Zed pushing? Did you find out? Did the Vantage go like the clappers? Vantage was very quick, as was the Stang. BMW Z4's were fast in the wet due to narrower tyres. Z was pushing out about 330BHP IIRC. The GT4 series is designed to be based on cars close to factory spec. We're probably going to Oschersleben in Germany for the next round.

GC350z Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 The GT4 series is designed to be based on cars close to factory spec. Does that make it a little unfair as the N24 is a factory car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
