Then in the last session, his frustration morphed into some crazy sort of determination. However, his lap times were not improving throughout the day, and I could almost see his passion slowly die. The two didn’t mention it but I think deep down, they were trying to see who would break the 2-min mark first, giving them infinite bragging rights over the other.īack in November, Brandon left Super Lap Battle with a 2:14.8 and was absolutely looking to 1-up himself. ![]() While it might not seem like it, both BMWs are relatively similar in performance, Vin’s M3, and Bernoo’s 135i. However, after some talking with the guys, I finally decided to just go for it. This would be my first chance to drive around Buttonwillow, and the GC8 was running perfectly.īack to the guys, with four sessions throughout the day, Vin and Bernoo were both eager to get accepted into the prestigious Sub-2 Club. Sally on the other hand easily walked through the holy gates during her first session out, leaving the rest of us in the slower of the two groups. Let's be real, my 1998 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS makes well less than a third of the power that Sally’s WRX makes. At first, I was pretty hesitant about getting on the track, I really just wanted to focus on taking photos. I initially went into the day planning on turning some laps and shooting. The team at Snail Performance put some considerable work into the WRX during the off-season, it's now making a comfortable 510hp. Markos, also from Snail Performance, came to join Sally for the event, in attempt to break some records in his Subaru as well. Sally, was aiming a little higher, and looking for a podium in the Street AWD class. Vin and Alex (aka Bernoo), had their goals set on a sub-2 minute lap time around Buttonwillow’s 3.1 mile, CW13 layout. So with GTA’s season opener happening at the same track, the guys figured it would be a great idea to fix up their cars and try to shatter their own records. Especially for Brandon, that was his first time driving his Suzuka Blue Honda S2000 around Buttonwillow. An event seen as the largest time attack event in North America.Īfter the Super Lap Battle in 2017, the guys, and gal, of the Grip Brigade felt there was room for improvement. As I’m sure you all have seen in previous "Field Trip" episodes, the crew is usually there in November for Global Time Attack’s Super Lap Battle.
