N1 RACING PLACES 3RD PLACE UNLIMITED FR DURING 2010 SUPER LAP BATTLE FINALS AT BUTTONWILLOW RACEWAY PARK

UNLIMITED FR CLASS 3RD PLACE FINISH WITH 1:51:055

November 11, 2010 – The N1 Racing team competed in the 2010 Super Lap Battle Finals at Buttonwillow Raceway Park running the Clockwise 13 configuration on Wednesday November 10, 2010. The day began early, as there would be only one practice session allotted per group before the teams would proceed directly into the three timed sessions in the afternoon. This meant that the competition was incredibly intense and that the pressure to do well was felt by all of the drivers and teams in attendance.

The N1 Concepts/Hankook Tire/Brian Crower/RAYS Engineering S2000 piloted by driver Andrie Hartanto was able to turn lap times in the mid to high 1:52 range during the morning practice session. However, it was during this session that the team began to notice a power delivery issue (Hartanto reported that the car felt as though it was bogging down at corner exits). Unfortunately, given the tight schedule between timed sessions, N1 Racing mechanics Johnny Ngo, Andrew Eng, and Chris Le were unable to track down and remedy the issue before the end of the day. They were however able to work with Hartanto to improve the car and squeeze out a few more milliseconds.

By the end of the final timed session the S2000 had recorded a lap time of 1:51:055, an incredible achievement given that this placed the car in 3rd in the Unlimited FR class, as well as 8th place overall for the day! Keep in mind that the N1 Racing S2000 is running a naturally aspirated F2.3L engine producing 231 wheel horsepower (measured on the GST Motorsports Dyno).

As always, the N1 Racing Team would like to thank all of its sponsors, N1 Concepts, Hankook Tire, Brian Crower, RAYS Engineering, AFI Turbo, J’s Racing Japan, and Kraftwerks USA for making this year possible.
