  • Ben Lin's transmission is broken on the Evo from Gridlife Midwest, so Ben Thorn compete's alone with his civic at NJMP.
    Following a disappointing finish at Gridlife Midwest, Ben turns his attention to NJMP. With a new suspension setup and help from sim training, there's a chance of victory. The closest competition of the season so far, battling for thousands of a second against his arch nemesis, Grant Davidson in a nearly identical car.

      I had an extra set of wheels with me, but they were the oiled set from the last gridlife round. I didn’t want to buy two brand new sets for this event because I couldn’t spare the money. Brought the oiled set as an emergency, thankfully I was able to just buy one new tire instead.

    I think you might have been running a little too close to the guy who took first place in the last session. As much as the slipstream helps on the straight the lack of fresh cooler air might have hindered your ability to power out of the corners and the dirty air creating less downforce. You were sliding around quite a bit behind him. But that's my opinion.

    I race a K-powered RSX in endurance and have found that it is faster around the track without the rear wing (NRG carbon wing with 5 degree angle of attack on custom mounts). But my drivers prefer the wing for a more stable feel at high speed. Lots of variables, and differences, I know, but just an FYI. Great effort on your part! enjoyed the video.

    Being that you're so close, do you think it's just the overall car in general? As much as I LOVE hatches, we are taller and less aerodynamic than a sedan like the integra. I know the interior is stripped pretty bare, but have you guys considered lightening up the roof and if needed, adding ballast as low as possible?
    Loving these time attack videos. 💛💛
