Wow, some very uninformed people spouting off in the comments (as usual). All of the highest level time attack cars are 'unreliable' compared to a car built to run actual races. These cars are tuned within an inch of their lives to try and get that one golden lap. They are the automotive version of the Olympic 100 meter dash athlete. Every system and subsystem on these cars is pushed to max with no headroom. And because of that they do break a lot. Also, the left foot brake tapping on the straights is to counter any pad knockback in the brakes and also make sure there is pedal and you haven't lost brakes. Finding that out at the end of a long fast straight is a rude process.
+Jim Davenport And one other thing. These guys are running on actual treaded street legal tires. On pure racing slicks the lap times would be mind boggling.
Lol and who told u dis. Where did u get these facts from? Do u know all the time attack teams? Have u been in their shops? I hope u hav some good facts to back up wat ur saying. I am only talking about the engine tuning part just so u guys or girls know.
@@davidchau3228 If you don't know the difference between a tune designed to make an engine last 100 laps reliably vs a tune on the bleeding edge that sacrifices any safety margins for every last bit of power, you don't know much. Time attack is in essence much like qualifying. Just look at F1 in the 80's when they had special engines for qualifying that were destroyed after 2 hot laps. My comment is not any kind of put down of any of these teams. Just the opposite. They are pushing things to the absolute edge of the cliff for that golden lap.
The car was still being setup for Tsukuba circuit in this video so thats why it looks like the tyres may not have enough grip, the cars setup was causing some understeer problems. The car has another 4 to 5 seconds in it once they get their proper engine back in there. They had 3 engine failures over that week in testing and on race day. They will be back this year.
bo093 was close. It's "knock off" as WRXJIM said, it's caused by the gyroscopic force of the rotors pushing on the brake pads when the wheels are turning. This is because of the floating rotors movement, and it pushes the pads back into the caliper. He taps the brake pedal to move the pads back onto the rotor face, so there is no soft pedal when he pushes the pedal next. You can eliminate this by running a strap drive floating rotor system. Awesome video!
Please keep the TA vids coming! I hope there are more videos of this car's progress on the way, I can't wait for this build to get the new aero and turn up the boost. Was my fav. car to watch in the 2012 wtac.
You do realize in this video they were running an engine that was thrown together, their previous full tune engine had problems. They didn't get one single clean lap that whole event. They will be putting together a new engine, new aero and attacking it again. They were also over 2 seconds quicker on the back sector of Tsukuba circuit before their turbo piping split, thats already 2 seconds out of their lap time. They had many problems, 4-5 seconds can be chopped out of their time.
Fantastic video! Awesome production, fantastic video - brilliant all around! Thanks for covering it, please please please cover their December time attack!
HOLY C++P a 54.90 there first year there , so good. To me this really shoes Aus is No.1 in time attack. Going there now with the car, couldn't imagine the time they'll do. Good Work guys!
Hey there man I just responded to Kalamity and saw your question. As I said before I don't claim to be an expert. But as a car corners at really high speeds the brake pads begin to become slightly misaligned, or spaced away from the rotors. I believe that by occasionally giving the brake pedal a tap the driver is able to rid of this space and allow for a pedal that isn't mushy because the brake pads are already along the rotor with little to no gap from contact.
I would love to see what this thing could do on a faster track. The car looks like it has amazing downforce and those tires didnt seem to be able to keep up on the sharp turns. Or it was a simple mistake on turn 2. This thing seems like it easily had another second or 2 in it. Hats off to you guys.
Getting on the power to early was giving understeer, if its a RWD car at Tsukuba you can get on the power real early but not so much in an AWD. This car was getting still getting setup in this hot lap you seen. Maybe you can give Tilton race team this advice in person at WTAC in Sydney, I can setup a meeting if you want to teach them?
52.513 2013 by Suzuki-san in January of this year was in fact made. Agree with Luke though, without the hose issues the Tilton car will be a threat to this time once in full potential...
It's to be sure that the pads are as close as possible from the discs when you hit the pedal brake. With the vibrations it happens that the pads have pushed the brake pistons out of their position;
Oh yea! I spaced on his 2013 lap. Thanks. 52.513! The Tilton car was my favorite car to watch in the 2012 wtac, I was and am cheering for it, I just don't like data being treated as laps, no matter who the team is. I agree that a clean lap would have brought the time down, and the new aero and full boost will for sure bring the time down. I can't wait for that to happen.
I understand but the Tilton car was at 50% of its full potential and it also did a lap that was 2 seconds faster in the last sector I believe before one of the intercooler hoses split, that was also on a make shift repaired engine. So that data backs up a 52-53 easy. This is all still on rough engine / tune. Like you said there is no 51 or 52 second lap yet but this car is very capable and the CT230R is a very old setup now days, I think many Japanese teams will have to step up their game.
2007- CT230r - 53:589 2012- U.Suzuki - 52.649 2013- Tilton - 54.90 Assumptions and Predictions are not lap records.... I see a 54.9 in the books. Can't wait for the new aero and more boost, maybe then, it will actually be faster than the ancient CT230r record.
@Reece Mechanical Yes this car was a bit unreliable, but that is not unusual for cars tuned to the limit. Also, Evo's held the record there for more like 11 years. The JUN Evo V, then the HKS CT230R. Both these cars were not highly modified at all compared to modern Time Attack cars especially the JUN Evo. The car in this video did a time just quicker than the JUN Evo, but if it went there now it may well break the record. And there are people who can afford to use a Porsche as a Time attack car, there are several in the UK right now for example. They are not however at the front of the field and have not posted any wins at any international events that i'm aware of..
They're not assumptions when you have calculated data read outs and sector times. This car cut 2 seconds in one section which would of lead it to a 52-53 lap before the intercooler hose split. Not assumption or prediction, fact. But problems happened and they will be back to set their goal lap time of 51-52 with a new and reliable engine.
Slicks are the tires with the most contact surface between the car and the track. The less tire tread you have, the most contact you have between the tire and the road, so it's the opposite of what you probably think. Also, slick tires are most of the time made of very tender rubber, so the grip is even better. To make it easy to understand: SCLIKS: super tender + no tire tread = MEGA GRIP. Have a nice day.
You don't have the luxury of fast laps and smooth steering inputs when you're still setting the car up. They were still setting the car up for each track sector in all this footage. Hence the aggressive steering inputs.
Wow this is a fast lap time! I did 3 laps in the nisssab gtr nismo and only managed 57 seconds, understandably it has 300 lss bhp but beating a nismo on this course is not easy.
On such tight corners the rear tires easily push the front, cure with slightly harder rear tire compound or slightly thinner tires (or more tire pressure in the rear and less in the front). At least, that is what works in all the sims I drive.

And you took a comment like that on face value??..... well I will be eagerly awaiting this 50 seconds flat or better from Under Suzuki and the Tilton car soon. It will be something to see :-)
Considering Under-Suzuki laps it in 52 seconds with a rear wheel drive car that barely finds any traction and with an aero package that was not even 20% complete at the time of that 52 second lap. I think it's safe to say that that breaking into the 50's and 51's is not unrealistic at all when you have this type of AWD car and its running at it peak without the horrible problems that plagued them. I 100% think a 50-51 second lap is possible.
To get the oil pressure to the brake pedal, to avoid a thinny "break-failing-gap" between the time he steps on the pedal and actually starts to break. This kind of trick, makes you be able to step later on the brakes without feraing to wait 2 tens of a second until the brakes start to brake. Most of prrofessionnal drivers take this little "advantages" in consideration. Have a nice day.
Amazing footage. With all respect due the CT230R has the lap record and the video is here on YT. Is there any proof or video of this car being "by far" faster? I'm a mechanic/builder and I completely respect your work, no disrespect implied.
i have spent now around 5years to track the ID from the intro song, but no chance! -_- Long time ago from the last comment, so I am asking you all here- can somebody help me with this...?! greetings from Austria and this is one of my all-time fav car clips, love it
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure this isn't the case, although brake boosting is pretty cool. I imagine he's tapping the brake pedal to keep the brake pads from getting misaligned from the brake rotors which will prevent from getting a mushy pedal when he has to brake for a corner.
thats why i asked my question, is there any chance of improvement soon. Cause they obviously dont have a balanced car when the same car (stock) with 300hp less is faster. And even if HP isnt everything when for example the CT230R increases their HP output with an extra 300hp they surely improve their laptime
Sorry but last time I talked with Under-Suzuki was when I filmed him breaking the record and we chatted about his car and how far it has to progress. Yes the aero is no way near complete and was going back under the knife completely. The car did not even have traction control which he will be setting up with the new ECU setup. So I'm really sorry to say this but Suzuki-Under will be breaking past the 52's and into the 51's or 50's and I see Tilton doing the same.
Actually slicks are just tires with no tread as Zander was saying. They use them in all kinds of track racing, including Formula 1. But youre from the states so I dont blame you. They also use them on NASCAR tho I believe. Slicks are the best tires for turning except when it rains.
HP doesn't mean everything. The CT230R is the most balanced EVO I've ever seen and it doesn't has this much aero than the EVO from Tilton Interiors from this year (2013). Have a nice day.
its funny how people can try to figure out what the problem was with the car, even though theyve never driven it before and dont even know how the car is set up. its an 850hp car. im pretty sure you would encounter a lot of problems during track day. regardless, it seems like there was a lot of work and dedication put into this. Good job, What i want to know is, why does he "tap" the breaks in between shifts? what does that accomplish?
That would explain the massive aero package haha. My observations are from an amateur perspective. The car has obviously had a huge amount of effort and skill involved in setting it up. I'm just suggesting fast laps typically go with smooth steering and throttle inputs.
They aren't going to drop another 4~5 seconds mate no way, maybe another 1.5 seconds if they're lucky, Tsukuba isn't that easy. But a good first effort and good luck to them :-)
I fully appreciate what you are saying, but I drive on this track every 2 months or so and know it well, 4~5 seconds better than 54.9 with current tyre technology is just not realistic. This track is all about the corners. I do hope they get the record though :-)
Can I ask a question just due to my curiousity :) You tap the brakes to heat them gradually to find them when you need to brake ? or for a sensor or other mater ? Thanks :) And keep it up !
@@tougemonster2535 False. It's a brake check, and also to load the suspension before decelerating into an apex. Hit the track, homey. You might learn something. I
All Time Attack cars are built and tuned to run at the limit, thus the brake check. Ask any LeMans driver why they heel-toe before a chicane...it's safety. And also, and only real drivers would know the definition of this...to transfer suspension load before the apex approach. Video games and posers can't teach that. Ask any real licensed track driver. I hold an SCCA license for a reason. Most who have posted here don't have a clue how to transition corners and manipulate a race car to turn in, even when it doesn't want to...whether poor grip, corner approach, lack of understanding trail-braking...etc etc
"Also do not underestimate how important track knowledge is."Unsure if you're saying Suzuki-Under someone that has been running that track more time than we could both count does not have a good knowledge or if Tilton don't? Tilton are a professional racing team, not weekend racers. If you don't agree with my comments then let them be. Agree to disagree.

I can watch his footwork all day. So good.
Wow 54.90 sec. That is considered super fast. Getting a 1min and 2 sec is already consider really fast. 54.9 is mind blowing fast.
That quality of audio recording of the engine is the most amazing by far I've seen on youtube
Probably my favorite video on UA-cam. Hands down.
he constantly presses on the brakes in straight aways to keep the rotors hot during hard corners.mind blown nice driving btw
Amazing dedication by those guys even after multiple issues with the car that weekend. Hopefully they can make their 52 sec goal in December!
anything that breaks a minute on tsukuba is definitely a well built machine with a very skilled driver
That under pedal camera angle is genius!
thanks for that, never heard of such issue before, will definitely look into it
Good to see another Aussie car in Japan at Tuskuba and can't wait until October for WTAC to see it all in person. Good work Tilton.

This is a awesome video
If i'm not mistaken. Is to get the brake pad to closer to the disc. Due to the disc expansion during braking.
The shot at 2:25 is awesome!

Intro music is epic! Whats the name?
very very impressive

Great video are those tc 105 n weds wheels?
To get the oil pressure to the brake pedal, to avoid a thinny "break-failing-gap" between the time he steps on the pedal and actually starts to break.
This kind of trick, makes you be able to step later on the brakes without feraing to wait 2 tens of a second until the brakes start to brake.
Most of prrofessionnal drivers take this little "advantages" in consideration.

whats with tapping the brakes every shift down the back? just making sure he will be able to stop that beast?

Guys from WTAC.
Prove us that you are the fastest by coming on hillclimbing racing in europe !!!
Hillclimb racing is slow and not on treaded tires. Prove you are the fastest by coming to WTAC!
He taps the brakes to get the pads tight to the rotors for betting initial braking at the corner entry not to build boost. @Kalamity504
will you guys have enough time to prep. and enter this car in WTAC w/ the new rules??
So when is the ADVAN NEOVA AD08R coming to the US?

Most who have posted here don't have a clue how to transition corners and manipulate a race car to turn in, even when it doesn't want to...whether poor grip, corner approach, lack of understanding trail-braking...etc etc
@@tougemonster2535 Also, you want your brakes to be as cool as possible...."heat up" had me literally lmmfao 🤣😂
yeah even at this level of modification the car still has knock back ,someone said horsepower isn't everything,i guess it is when you win
"Also do not underestimate how important track knowledge is."Unsure if you're saying Suzuki-Under someone that has been running that track more time than we could both count does not have a good knowledge or if Tilton don't? Tilton are a professional racing team, not weekend racers. If you don't agree with my comments then let them be. Agree to disagree.
whats up with the tapping of the brake pedal after shifts????
