EK9 - Time Attack - Netherlands

[Stéphane]

Here's a vid of me in my EK9 at the Time Attack in the Netherlands on the TT Circuit of Assen. Finished 8th place with my fairly stock EK9. EK4 ahead of me is a K20A equipped (220bhp) track prepared one. Managed to get only 1 second behind that one in the final. ITR passing me at the end of the vid was the winner in my class (Semi-pro Street).

Was the first time with my EK9 on track and the first time on this circuit. Been driving on other tracks with my other car (Elise) before, so I do have some experience that helped me a bit

Modifications to my EK9 were:
- Yokohama A048 on stock 15" EK9 wheels
- Fischer Hydraulik steelbraided brakelines with Comma DOT5.1
- CL RC5+ (Carbon Lorraine) brakepads

And there's a Spoon by-pass tube installed on the air intake. That's it.

Nice video, car in front seems hopeless in the corners.

Thanks!

I think if it were the other way around (him driving my EK9 and me his EK4), I'd probably could have given the ITR a very hard time



EK9 is very well balanced car by the way. Really love it. Had it on Zandvoort as well, I'll post a vid of that later. In my Elise I run low 2:06s on Zandvoort, with the EK9 I ran a low 2:11 on a not completely dry track. Really was impressed by that, being that the EK9 is a fair bit heavier and running on stock stuff. Elise comes with Nitrons, AP Racing brakes, modded engine etc, 300kg lighter and mid engine/rearwheel drive.

For sure, you are easily outbraking him.
