N1 RACING WINS BACK TO BACK ON THE WEST COAST
TAKING 1ST PLACE SUPER MODIFIED RWD AND
FINISHING 3RD OVERALL AT REDLINE TIME ATTACK ROUND 3
HELD AT LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY


SUPER MODIFIED REAR WHEEL DRIVE CLASS 1ST PLACE WITH 1:42:733


April 28, 2010 - N1 Concepts is proud to announce it's racing team's 1st Place finish at Round 3 of the Redline Time Attack Series held at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Outside Road Course this past weekend. This was the second race in the West Coast series, which meant a consecutive win for N1 (the team also finished 1st Place at Round 1 in Buttonwillow just a month before). This result means that N1 Racing remains in the 1st Place Position as Points Leader in the Super Modified (Unlimited) RWD Class.

It was a difficult battle all weekend long as N1 Racing faced off against tough competition in the form of the 2009 Series Champion, FX Motorsports Development, and it's turbocharged NSX. However, driver Andrie Hartanto was up to the task as he displayed incredible skill in piloting the S2000 around the technical Outside Road Course.

Friday's intense practice sessions of running in the high to mid 1:44 range led to a broken differential. However, with an amazing show of teamwork, the N1 pit crew was able to receive help from the great guys at GST Motorsports who brought down two spare differentials early Saturday morning from N1's shop (the two are located minutes apart in Hayward, CA). Once the S2000 was up and running again, N1 was quickly able to make further adjustments, dropping the lap times down to the low 1:43 range.

On Sunday morning, Hartanto was able to begin dipping the S2000's lap times into the high 1:42:9 zone. During the first Time Attack Session N1 recorded a blazing 1:42:7 lap time which would become the 1st Place Super Modified RWD time (FXMD was unable to record a better time in the second Time Attack Session of the day). This time was also fast enough to place N1 Racing as 3rd Place overall in a field full of turbocharged cars with more than three (GST Motorsports Impreza and FXMD NSX) to four (World Racing Scion TC) times the horsepower!

The N1 Racing Team plans to further improve the S2000 in preparation for Round 4 of Redline Time Attack at Auto Club Speedway next month (May 29-30). Stay tuned for details!

Photoshoot Sneak Peek

Yesterday we had an event at our shop in the afternoon (SpoCom Pre-Screening), so we decided in advance that early in the morning we would have new photos taken of our S2000.

It ended up being trickier than we planned because we had to move cars around our warehouse Austin Powers style since it was raining outside and some of our other race cars don't have windows!



Thanks to TunerPlayground Feature Car Photographer, Jeff Cabacungan (owner of Photoshootmycar.com) and his wife Stella, for photographing our S2000 for nearly 3 hours!

We're excited to see the full photo set, which will be sent to all of our sponsors for their use this year, and also for our new display stand which will debut with our car in Las Vegas on the 25th of this month.

Be sure to stay tuned for news on our S2000 as we begin preparing for Round 3 of Redline.
