Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 Completes the Nürburgring 24 hour race in the SP9 Class


The final race of the 41st Nürburgring 24 hour race was held from Sunday May 19 to Monday May 20, 2013. Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi entered the SP9 Class of this race in a Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, and finished 148th overall.  The challenge in this year’s race was to raise the precision and real-world simulation accuracy of Gran Turismo by applying actual racing data gathered from previous races. In addition, further critical data obtained from technical partners including NISMO (Chassis), Yokohama Rubber (Tires), and KW (Suspension) were unified and heavily implemented within the physics behavior engine of GT6, allowing simulated changes in vehicle dynamics due to suspension and aerodynamics settings to be tested immediately. This allowed the team to really fine tune the car to the track.  The drivers included Kazunori Yamauchi, the Schulze brothers Tobias and Michael, and professional German race driver Michael Krumm. Three racing mechanics from Japan also joined in to support Schulze Motorsport, fighting the race together in a combined Japanese-German team.

StopTech® & Centric Parts® offer several different types of street and high performance brake pads

StopTech® and Centric Parts® offer several different types of street and high performance brake pads to fit both OEM calipers and StopTech Big Brake Kits. Selecting the ideal pad requires finding the proper balance between noise, dust, bite, pad life, fade resistance and other factors. Choosing the correct brake pad starts with an honest assessment of the driver's typical driving conditions.  For example, if the vehicle is driven 80 percent in highway commuting conditions, 20 percent on canyon roads, and zero percent on the track, then a PosiQuiet "street" pad will likely offer the best combination of stopping performance, low dust and low noise.
