RP968 target outright SMSP lap record at WTAC 2019

The reigning, defending champions of the Yokohama World Time Attack Challenge will return in 2019! After claiming Pro Class honours and a record time for WTAC, the RP968 team are now targetting the Sydney Motorsport Park outright lap record. The blistering 1:19.142 lap set by Nico Hulkenberg in an A1GP open-wheeler is the time to beat, with Barton Mawer's winning 2018 lap time in RP968 only 0.68 seconds off the mark! The team behind the WTAC-winning Porsche currently had a meeting of minds at the PR Technology workshop, and we were there to get across the team's plans for domination this year.

Awesome coverege. This is why time attack is so good. Pushing the boundaries of engineering. Its because of their willingness to think outside of the box that makes Rod and PR Tech one of the best.

Brilliant to see teamwork breaking through boundaries! Will look forward to dropping by to say hi + best wishes in breaking that outright lap record :)

What a car and what a team

[@brianbob7514]

Time attack is great. This car/team is amazing

[@GoldenSlothRacing]

Awesome, can't wait to see it have a crack at the outright record. Would love to see it come tackle The Bend in SA as well ;)

[@doc7000]

Time attack is at the aero cutting edge right now, will be interesting to see where they take things from here.

[@johnn7419]

Might have to contact CAMS to change the rules in regards to what an outright lap record is. Which is during a race (Hulkenberg's time). Although, it can be done in existing rules (Chris Mies Bathurst Audi lap), if it was also a sprint event - ie, Two cars atleast. competing at once. Might be a way around it.

Happy for you all....esp with that model....it's not a beetle nonetheless...😏best and stay healthy...

[@conradsealy9603]

Lets see how it goes. They got lucky with the rain. MCA hammerhead S13 never got a chance to do a fast run.

[@theimprovementsguy8871]

True. We shall see in a couple of months. Long live the silvia :)

Unless Bart knows better, Murray wasn't going to bring the car down this year last I heard. Aero porpoising was their biggest issue I recall.
