Our team has reset the GTA Unlimited class and production based vehicle records at COTA again with the heavily modified Kyle Schick Racing, LYFE Motorsport Nissan GTR!
Last year ended in heartbreak as Cole was on pace for a 2:02 lap only to find Feras' Corvette parked on track causing a yellow flag that turned our lap into a 2:04,. This year with a fresh livery, but the same car and tuneup otherwise, Cole hopped in and immediately ran 2:02.8 in the first session, completing the lap he started the year prior. Second session he dropped that to 2:02.3, at which point the rest of the weekend was gravy.
We did take another 2 cracks at it Sunday, but an intercooler coupler popped off first session, then a transmission issue foiled the second attempt, and we decided to rest on our earlier time which did claim victory in Unlimited class.
With data showing the car was already on pace for a mid 2:01 when the transmission disabled the odd numbered gears in the middle of the back straight, we are now dangerously close to the elusive 2 minute lap. For now we'll enjoy this victory, and look forward towards next year!
A wide variety of cars competed in Super Lap Battle and several records fell.
