Dyno plots exist for any of these cars besides an engine dyno?

Ok so Nemo Racing isn't running MIVEC. Not bad

Dyno plots, you serious? This is a hugely competitive big dollar game and I dont see anyone giving away much if anything so people can ooh and ahh over a dyno graph.

Just cruised through their website. Mad props to them for essentially designing the whole package from the ground up. This is the first TA Evo I've seen with a good aero package, although I'm surprised they are not venting the rear wheel wells. Judging from their onboard g-sensor numbers, they've still got room for improvement. IMO they've still got at least 1G of DF left to find and that's not even considering active aero of some type (DRS, air brakes). If their current driver got worried with where the car is at today, they'll have to find someone else to drive next year, lol. With more dialed in aero and the power potential of a 9180, it's got the potential to break 1:20 on that track.

I nope the Nemo team takes a tour of Japan, then makes it's way to the USA. New track records should spark the competition

2.92 lateral G's!!! They're like half way to F1, and I mean that in a crazy impressive way. That's awesome.

Its a matter of seeing what these turbos really do.

Since power is only a small part of the equation I don't see how it can hurt. Nemo's big thing is weight and aero.

F1 max lateral G is 5, so that's more than half way there and they also did it on street tires.

See I thought that it was 5 G's as well, and looking at a track layout it will say they hit 5 G's on the higher speed corners. Just watching the G meters on the cars I've seen high 5's or a 6 once or twice, making me think that it is possible for them to occasionally corner that much harder. You probably know more than I do though, so I'll defer to your expertise.

But if it is indeed 5 then that is all that much more impressive especially on street tires.

^ Where are you getting your info from?

In the posted WTAC video of Nemo, it didn't look capable of pulling more than 2 Gs in high speed corners. If the car was capable of pulling more, it should have done so in turn 1. There were a couple of very short spikes in the 2.x G range, but those looked to have come from surface irregularities, not steady state cornering. As much as we'd all like to see an Evo corner like an F1 car, it's nowhere near that right now. Heck, it's not even anywhere near a radical or ALMS prototype. I for one will be very impressed if they can get their aero to give them a sustained 3 G - and even more impressed if they can keep oil in the block at that level.

In the video it highlights 2.92 G's and yes it was for a very brief period however juding by the meter theyre showing it appears that the car is sustaining 2 + G's, which is still ridiculously impressive.

I think Nemo will probably impress even more on Tsukuba than it did at Eastern Creek - going by the fact it was apparently down >40kph versus comparable cars on the straights it must be REALLY hitting a wall in terms of aeros vs downforce. Throwing an extra 100-200hp by way of 9180 I doubt will make a huge amount of difference beyond improving the already short bursts of acceleration, so really a technical track with enough speed to get aeros working but low enough speed to not spend extended periods of time pushing against wall might really do it some justice.

Could we see a 51.xx at Tsukuba?
