AUM:

It would be very interesting to see Sport Auto monitor and verify Suzuki's new time attack in April. Then see how close HvS could get to that time on the same day in the same car. The same with Walter in a 997 Turbo followed by HvS same day same car.

 


        That would be a very good approach indeed. Only, they would need to include a second European customer spec GTR - just to make sure that the Suzuki car is comparable to the customer cars. My concern with Suzuki doing official laps is that the car used might be non-standard (higher hp output, tweaked suspension, carefully selected tires - all those small changes that are very difficult to note even under close inspection by independant spectators).


        

If Nissan wants to avoid further controversy they will have demonstrate that the GTR is standard Euro spec. Tyres can be easily checked. HP and suspension are more difficult but not impossible to check. Another approach would be for Sport Auto to source a standard GTR and invite Suzuki to compare his lap time with HvS. But I doubt they could co-ordinate this.
