Toyota GT86 - Nürburgring Nordschleife -

Another one from the Skylimits Trackday. Fastest lap on video, although I forgot to hit record... Good thing the Aim Solo works automatically so the lap data is accurate. Fastest lap of the day was 8.12BTG and optimal would be around 8:08BTG. Not bad for stock engine/transmission!
Check engine light ON because of an ignition coil issue(prone to failure in these cars), which happened on the second lap of the day. Doesn't affect performance although it cost me a good lap and some precious time reading the code before I went back on track!
Tomei's midpipe didn't survive and broke half-way through the day, you can hear some noises here and there coming from the pipe hitting the transmission tunel. At this point I didn't care anymore.
Sound was recorded using an external mic located in the boot.
Telemetry data from the Aim Solo 2 DL using RaceRender.
Specs:
- Custom JRZ RS Pro 3 coilovers with Raeder Motorsport(Manthey Racing) setup.
- ATS GTR 17x8 with Dunlop Direzza 03G in stock size, 215/45 17
- Brembo GT "CSG Spec" front brakes.
- PMU Racing 999 brake pads all around
- Motul RBF 600 brake fluid
- Tomei Expreme Ti Type 60S catback

1. From this pov, i just realized why they called Nurburgring Green Hell. That is really scary with a lot of high speed straight and fast corner. 2. You are a good driver 👍

[@piotrmalewski8178]

Plus the sideways and the track itself is very narrow. This is literally the worst track on Earth for beginners.

[@sesh3508]

@@piotrmalewski8178 worst track for beginners, but with that said it sets beginners up for smooth sailing on lesser tracks

[@UnstopFooL]

That 7k rpm sound is so joy to hear,that Subaru engine is awesome )

[@markbroadheaf1593]

Just bought one last year, knew the engine wasnt great - but the beauty is you can thrash the arse off it on t a quiet road without reaching crazy speeds. Used to race a 964RS ( bit pricy now ! ) and a 280 Bhp Caterham on slicks. The GT86 has fab steering and great balance though...a remap is worth doing though..

sick driving! keep it up

[@Wangan300]

To all the children that think these cars are slow.

Those that always get surprised when I go past them 😂

[@TheTommydWi]

They are slow in one sense of the word 🫣

[@alfaaditya434]

86 slow in low rpm, up to 4000 is fast

[@konforzone]

Very cool mods with very nice driving. You did very well by carrying speed through corners.

[@xxNismo-]

Amazing driving, I never realised how bumpy the track was!

[@codeyorgill]

Amazing stuff mate, had my heart-rate up just watching.. Fun stuff :)

Thanks! It was really fun, I miss it already!

[@bmxlife3598]

Nice driving man keep it up!

[@ENGBriseB]

Very clean lap and I've watched plenty.

[@haobozhang4207]

Really good driving. I learn a lot and just put what I learned into the application of Assetto/

[@aeroland.c]

Nice driving!

[@BRZ601]

Wow Oscar, I missed your hotlap until today. That was bloody fast! I need to go back there now that I have a new reference lap. My car is still stock but I am waiting for a front big brake kit (for reliability other than sheer performance). I've been missing the Ring for five straight years... so long 😪 Great drive mate, keep it up!

Thank you Fulvio! It’s great to hear from you. Not the best lap but pretty good, if you check my other video (8:23BTG) that lap was better until the double yellow in the final corner. Always learning, the car has a bit more potential for sure. I got the CSG brembos for the same reason and I haven’t had the need to change pads nor discs for the last 3.5 years and 60.000km… so it is good investment. 5 years is too much, you need to go back soon! Let me know, it would be mega to meet there again. I’m going in 3 weeks with the Yaris, pretty excited to see how much quicker it goes around the ring… and will get some new videos. Cheers!

[@jbmectronic4314]

Proper racing!

[@jeanculasek86]

it's with this kind of video that I bought a brz. those who say that it's a car without power, it's that they don't know how to drive

[@takachanka6655]

real MF ghost!

[@CubanRider]

Surprised you're running 215 size tires and didn't go up to 225 or 235. Very good driving man, thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Well, as laptimes show, 215 is enough! Specially with the insane amount of grip you get from the dunlops... I do use 225/45 for the street (Sport Cup 2's), and so far after testing the same tyre on both sizes multiple times, I can say there's very little difference in performance, nowadays I run 225 mostly because I get a bit more ground clearance and a liiiiittle bit of extra ride comfort.

[@HandlewithcareVibes]

Impressive, same car here

[@FairladyS130]

Myomy that blue car had some grip.

[@davidtomanicz1436]

Is that the P0351? 😄 (same here...😏)

[@elliotthale1835]

Is it fully stock except obvious... Brakes/tyres?

[@codenamegambit]

amazing! did you do the pedal dance to keep the traction off or just used the Track mode?

I turn it off by holding the button 5 seconds. I’ve tried pedal dance but I don’t use it much, the difference is barely noticeable in this case since it mainly affects the braking and I don’t have issues with that.

[@codenamegambit]

@ legend! Thanks for letting me know. You have huge grip, pedal dance seems pointless. Keep it up!

[@esko23q]

Check engine light - Am i a joke to you.. Driver - Keeps powering on

Hahahaha not much I could do about it!

[@MS-wd7gp]

Great driving. Do you use headers and a different mapping?

Nope, OEM. I just have an aftermarket air filter and catback.

[@MS-wd7gp]

@ wow, that's a really good lap for a stock engine

@@MS-wd7gp thanks!

[@littlebits6231]

nice driving! Out of curiosity, what caused the CEL?

Ignition coil, it's a common issue, but annoying to get during a trackday!

[@JeLifeCoach]

What are your camber settings sir? And, did the rear factory lower control arms give you enough adjustment with coilovers, or did you have to change that as well?

It's -3.3º front. I don't have adjustable rear control arms, at current height the car sits at -2º rear and I don't feel like I need to change that at all.

[@autocar1964]

Nice job. I'm guessing this wasn't your 1st time ? 🙂

Thanks! Indeed this was my 5th visit to the ring. To this day I’ve only driven around 70 laps since 2015 so overall that’s no experience at all(any local driver will get hundreds per season), but I have a little idea of what I’m doing since the first time. Lots of simulator and good coaching back in 2015! Thanks for watching!

[@hayamax3539]

damn even in assetto i struggle to get 8:30 in the gt86. Very good driver

[@BrolySpeedyBoy]

How bout now did you manage to hit sub 8:00?

I just tried that in AC and got 9:18 and I'm glad that was in a computer game because that would be a lot of corrugated sheet metal -_-

Modified rear gear?

No, stock.

[@86gt42]

Amazing performance have you done any mods to your 86?

You can see all the mods in the video description, I haven't done much, but it's done properly ;)

[@Ryanr75rc]

Does it have Turbo ? Sounds amazing

No, it only has a Tomei titanium catback ;)

[@itsfantom3020]

Someone get this man come catless headers, e85, and a tune

[@itsfantom3020]

@Stephen Schneider Fam you have no idea what you’re talking about. But i do agree with you, fully catless exhaust tend to mostly sound like garb but thats not what i suggested, i specifically said catless headers and did not include mid pipe.

[@samserious1337]

Oil cooler?

Yes, Greddy Circuit Spec oil cooler.

[@paulocod2199]

stock gt86?

[@broshido2745]

Read the caption, tires and brakes aint but the engine is stock

Are you using an oil cooler? Also what engine oil grade are you running?

I have a Greddy Circuit Spec oil cooler and I use Motul 300V 5W30 oil :)
