World Time Attack Challenge 2011

POSTED BY Chasers, 1st June 2011, 7:43 am

Both of the cars that will be representing Chasers in the upcoming World Time Attack have a history behind them, both started their lives differently but currently are en route to realizing the same goal. All of our cars are much loved and driven by their self respective owners. No hired guns here.

The white evo 6 is started off initially as a road registered 6 and is a true testament to it’s model’s name, I’ve never seen it in the same state for a prolong period of time. It belongs to Glenn Trollope – driver of this amazing car & director of Chasers Motorworks. What started off as a engineer’s toy that has been with the workshop since the beginning is now a serious time attack machine. But there’s are no secrets to the build, it still has the standard 5 speed gearbox, Tein Monoflex coilovers, AP racing 6 piston brakes, is fully lightened & has a full Varis wide body kit. Equipped with an inhouse built forged 2L engine and a 3037S turbo, it managed a 1:31 at Winton Raceway with a set of 5 year old RE55S.

The blue evo 6 started it’s hard life on Tsukuba circuit as a time attack car by Bozz speed / Garage HRS. When it arrived on our shores, it was put to the test on Winton and it was clear that alot of work had to be done to achieve the results Chasers & Alif wanted. The engine was pulled apart and balanced; a dry sump system installed; wiring redone; tiny ARC intercooler replaced with a appropriate sized HKS counterpart; the HKS Fcon Vpro was ditched for a optioned packed Motec M800, tuned by Paul & a much more comprehensive roll cage installed. The Japanese usually prefer less extensive cages to save weight.

On it’s first shakedown at Evonats 2011 at Eastern Creek after it’s extensive makeover, Alif came in 2nd in the unrestricted class with only makeshift  alignments done by Benny using strings!

For WTAC 2011, there will be some major changes especially with aero. Keep a lookout!
