Unofficial Results:

1. Dimitry's R911 997TT Tiptronic 25.1s @ ~206mph
2. Andrey (Kentusha77rus) 997TT Tiptronic (R911 hardware, non Switzer tune) 25.3s
3. SPI R850 GTR
4. SPI R850 GTR
5. SPI P800 GTR
6. SPI R750 997TT VTG

I heard that Saturday Dima ran his R911 during non-official testing session at 24.8s, it was a bit cooler than Sunday.

Somewhere in the 3-4 spot is a 240HP turbo 'busa time, not quite sure.

Dima's car weighed in at 3380lbs.

UGR 1550rwhp E Gear ran a 26.8 at ~230 mph

That's all the info I got for now, expect official results to come in later today and videos to pour in over the next few weeks.

 

Wow...nice job, Switzer!!

 

Dang!! Switzer...you guys need to jump in the shower and cool off. You are on FIRE..

 

Congrats switzer

 

It would be interesting to see the results in speed order as well as times.

It seems like this is the only event of this type worldwide that judges by times rather than speed reached.

When the times are so close, it makes the launch so much more a part of the overall competition and to be honest I personally would be less concerned with how the cars launch than how fast they are travelling after one mile. Also means that the rwd cars are always going to look slow.

To me if you wants to judge launches do 1/4 miles, if its speed and power then the speed at the Mile should be the determinant.

I'm not trying to take anything away from Switzers amazing achievements, just it seems crazy that a 205mph pass wins overall and a 230mph pass doesn't even make the top 5?????

 

Well guys, what’s it, two days passed and now I want to share some info with YOU.
<O</O
I was running Switzer P800 since last summer and I’ve made 12 000 km on it without any problem, best time was 10,2 quarter and 26,127 sec and 313 km/h on 1 mile, that was enough to win everybody last September, but life goes on and we need go forward.
<O</O
So I was thinking what to do and I knew my friend Dima was gonna put R911 kit so I wanted to try smth else not to have 2 same cars and after a while I ordered Proto alpha 30’s turbos, 3.0 exhaust and new program with 7300 rpm’s.
<O</O
But I knew that would not be enough to race with UGR TT and I ordered 2 carbon seats – 4 kg each, new oddessy battery – 7 kg. Put off: my big GT2 spoiler, rear seats, subwoofer, rear and passenger wiper and changed the mirrors for small for better aerodynamics, put new sport belts and put EVERYTHING off the car, even the water for front window.
<O</O
On the event we had weights and my Turbo was the lightest one – 1 518 kg instead of 1580 kg of stock.
<O</O
1<SUP>st</SUP> day the weather was not so great, so both of Veyrons didn’t come, Koenig had some problems and 9ff GT2 braked it’s transmission…. But still there were some nice cars and bikes.
<O</O
The main one was off course Lamborghini Gallardo SL UGR Race Version 1550 whp, and everybody was waiting for it…. And that was the biggest disappointment!
<O</O
So it was show time – my best trap (on P800) was 220 km ¼ and 313 km on 1 mile, with this setup I had 234 km on ¼ and 329 !!! km on 1 mile (on race C16 fuel), the car pulls amazing, it was like born for 1 mile races.. I’ve made 3 runs with UGR TT and it was like I was running alone. He did 10 psi, 15 psi and then 35 psi on C16, but still no launch (the car had no launch on E-gear) and 5,2 sec to 100 km/h, his trap was bigger but best time on race fuel was 26,8 sec, like 680 hp 911.
<O</O
So the only competitors were Dimas R911 and Suzuki Hyuabusa Turbo – 240 whp (on dyno), cause GT-R were only 850 hp kits, and I’ve made a run with one of them and No comments.
<O</O
Then I run with Suzuki turbo but still my car was faster.
<O</O
So our final battle was Switzer R911 and me….. Dima has his own workshop and I put all the stuff there, we had like everything in common, seats, battery and etc… But he had two things more – fuel booster and some small pipes near the turbos.
<O</O
We had a great run with same start, first-second together and on third he got me

His best 25,188 and mine 25,369 sec, none of the other cars could get under 26 sec!!!!! Only our Porsches and Suzuki Hyuabusa Turbo with 25,868 sec., the next was 26,124 GT-R Switzer R850.
<O</O
P.S. The only thing lambo could do is a new Russian speed record, before it was 369 of 9ff GT3 rs, and now 381, but it was after 1 mile.
<O</O
My congrats to Porsche (best car ever), Switzer, Todd K. – Proto and Dima – new champion.<O</O

 

It's the quickest time from a dead stop to the end of a mile. It's basic 1/4 mile racing with another 3/4 mile tacked on to it. If someone wants the cars that hit 230 mph to win, perhaps they should work on their ability to launch out of the hole, rather than changing the structure of the competition in order to hamstring the cars that can already launch very well.

 

Thanks for the info Andrey! Glad to see everyone had fun and was safe during and after the event.

Needless to say, September is going to be very exciting!
