RC Developments compete at Time Attack with R35 GTR - First UK Motorsport Outing for the new GTR

RC Developments mark a point in GTR History, with entering their new R35 GTR into Round 4 of the 2008 UK Time Attack Series

The RC Developments GTR was entered into the event at Oulton Park on the 5th July 2008, heralding its first appearance in UK Motorsport. The new GTR import is owned by Max Waung, company director of RC Developments and importing company Car Planet LTD. The GTR with around 480hp from standard produced by the 3.8 V6 Twin Turbocharged Motor, will be entered as stock, with the only modification being a tyre swap to Toyo T1R as part of the regulations of the controlled tyre series sponsored by Toyo Tyres. Unfortunately, Toyo had poor stock levels of the T1R in 20" (with no race tyre R888 available yet), and were only able to supply RC Developments with a 285/30/20 rear tyre, and 245/30/20 front tyre, which would prove to unsettle the car as it was far too small on the front. The car ran fautlessly throughout, with RC Developments Co Director and Driver of the Yellow RC Evo, Clive Seddon, driving the GTR faultlessly throughout, even through wet track conditions in the first session, eventually qualifying for the Super Battle as the track dried out.

Result: 1'37.046 in the Super Battle Final, landing it in 14th of 21.

Much to gain from this incredible car, and a very promising result considering the highly modified opposition. RC Developments are very pleased and proud to have ran the car, and now have the opportunity to analyse its performance from the weekend, and develop the car further.

A full race report of the car will be posted soon, addressing all areas of the GTR's Performance on Track, and ways in which RC Developments will develop the car.
