The R-Magic Pink 4 TA SPL in 2010 in AMAZING!
While talking to Allen from Tomei and Dino recently, both are heading to Australia to help set up and cover the Super Lap Battle. This is a great for you guys because it means there will be some insane photography and good inside info from the event. They were both at Fuji recently testing and Dino grabbed these snaps for speed hunters.
The car has been almost completely changed outside and under the hood. New body items include front splitter, front fenders, rear fenders. The result is absolutely perfect.
New Engine looks as good as before. It's tuned for Sonoco race fuel and offers big HP gains over the previous setup. We can expect this car to run some seious times. Based on looks I think it has the goods to topple the Pan Speed guys. But time shall tell about the performance.
Wheels are 18"x11.0"J "TE37 SL" What is "SL"? It is a special version especially for Super Lap. This version is specially produced and they are 400g lighter for a similar sized wheel. This was before paint and the raw finish shaves weight and increases style! Are these the ultimate wheels? I think so! Special Rays stickers finish them off. They are now a darker colour after smoke and clear coat.
Kinoshita has his work cut out to learn eastern creek circuit, but as a pro, I'm sure he will be on the pace in no time at all.
Tsukuba is a much tighter track and the tyre compounds will be an issue for these cars. 55.947 in 2006 on a 2klm circuit is no measure 3.93klm and 2010 is a complete change. The cars are testing at fuji for a reason. Longer circuit and similar times around the 1.40 ish mark are to be expected.
