TRUST Event Coverage from D1GP Rd.2 Suzuka

Round 2 of the 2014 Gran Turismo D1 Grand Prix series was held at Suzuka Circuit.  The Suzuka course layout is the fastest of the series, with a very long straight-away going into the famous Turn 1.  The key to this round is speed and a having a good line to take advantage of the speed.  Teams that can achieve this, will gain high scores.  The obvious weight handy-cap we faced in round one, was far less important on this high speed track, since we could use the raw horsepower of the GReddy-powered VR engine.

 
In Saturday's first pre-qualifying session, Kawabata was able to take advantage of the 35RX's power with an exciting, high speed run scoring 101.40pts (the highest score ever recorded in D1GP,) placing him in 1st.  Kawabata was faster then all the top teams and was clocked at speeds in excess of 227km/h (140+mph.)  The team was feeling confident and aimed to better the speed and score in the Qualifying finals (Tanso,) unfortunately it was just over the limit and a slight mistake, placed the Team in the 22nd position for the tandem battles. 

In Sunday's Tsuiso round, Kawabata faced Tokita of Goodyear Racing.  Kawabata manged to keep an impressive proximity to Tokita and received a decisive victory to move on to the next round.  Unfortunately car troubles, which could not be repaired in time, forced the team to retire and miss the next battle.

Round 3 - Autopolis is scheduled for July 26-27th

TRUST Event Coverage from D1GP Rd.1 Fuji

The start of the 2014 D1 Grand Prix series starts at Fuji Speedway. We have returned to the D1GP with the GReddy 35RX Dspec GT-R we revealed with Toyo Tires at the 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon, back in January.   The official team name is " Team TOYO TIRES DRIFT TRUST RACING "


Last year D1GP Champion, Masato Kawabata had solid runs through out practice.  In Tanso (single car) Qualifying a slight miscalculation in speed cause a slight straightening.  The result a 20th place in qualifying.

Heavy rain fell on the second day of competition for the Tsuiso (twin drift) rounds.  Kawabata in the new car, and Saito, in his IS struggled in the heavy rain with the win going to Saito in the first round, before the rest of the competition was cancelled because of the rail.

The team faced a lot of challenges and learned a lot from this first event at FUJI DRIFT.  Round 2 is Suzuka.  Thank you for your continued support!

Many GReddy R35 owners are continuously pushing the limits of their GT-Rs and we have had requests for a special variation for our proven R35 RX Intake Manifold... a way to add more fuel!

Fueling these extra high horsepower GT-R VR engines require very large fuel injectors, in fact the six main fuel injectors are now approaching sizes too big for most ECUs to handle alone.  The solution... provisions for 6 additional fuel injectors at the base of the GReddy RX Intake manifold.  (or you can use smaller size main injectors and add more fuel via the additional 6 injectors) 

So in addition to the standard GReddy RX Intake Manifold for the GT-R, there is second version now available that has un-drilled injector bosses cast into the base of each runner.  These can then be easily machined to allow for custom sub-injector mounting.  (Injectors and fuel rail not included.)
