GOZIGEN-USA2009-12-24

Marry Christmas to people who are already in 25th!!
For others still in 24th, wishing you the brightest, happiest and merriest Christmas Eve.
But, always remember, don't drink and drive!!

OK, I like to present you some more pictures and the 2nd in-car video footage of Buttonwillow.



A picture from the test day - The engine didn't work collect and had some hesitation in certain rmp... The car was brought and checked by mechanics after every test session.



Night before the time attack, we had a photoshoot for Super Lap Battle.
The TSX was tested and tuned all day, even after the course was closed until right before the photoshoot. Pictures taken this night will be used for promotional materials for 2010 Super Lap Battle.

The car was shipped from Japan after a dyno test with no driving. Even though, they spent over 50 gallons(!!) of race gas on the dyno... The TSX was built within a month from end of August, after 12-hour race in Malaysia. See FD2 Civic MME 12-hour race car from http://d.hatena.ne.jp/GOZIGEN-USA/20090811

We had never had such hard Super Lap Battle last three years.
Could Team 5ZIGEN find the way to fix the problem?





Sakuma-san, a chief engineer, contacted 5ZIGEN staff in Japan almost all night to find fine ECU mapping. Katz gives him the impression of the car. It was getting much better...,even it was still not perfect. How's the attack after this?



This video footage is from Katz's 2nd attack session of the day. The attack lap starts from 2:22. You will see Katz & TSX is amazingly fast in the turns especially in the 2nd attack lap after he caught up the blue Lancer. It is no need to explain with my poor English anymore. Just enjoy the real in-car video of the race against the clock!!
