Successful debut of Japan Auto Euro Supra @ GATEBIL, NO!

Posted 2010/05/25

I always look forward to the GATEBIL season kickoff, and this weekend proved why!

GATEBIL Vålerbanen was set to be the debut of the rebuilt Japan Auto Supra. I had been looking forward to the event throughout the off-season, and despite us being a bit low on power and not getting the single turbo setup ready in time, I couldn’t have been more eager to go out there.

After several problems on Saturday ruining most of the runs, I got plenty more track time on Sunday. We have made a few changes to the steering setup of the car and the car felt even more nimble than before. It was so much fun driving the Euro Supra again, and in the end we were awarded a second place at the Vålersladden drifting competition!! The event proved valuable in many ways besides all the fun – we tested several tire models for DEKK4.no and the SWR rebuilt bottom end proved strong as always.

Thank you all for coming out to the event and supporting us! It was a blast seeing you all again, and I can’t wait to see you all again!

Coming up next is a track day with Aas VGS High School, who helped us out with the rebuild of the Japan Auto Euro Supra. Then, both cars are being equipped with custom single turbo setups, courtesy of KRB Trading, PBC Auto and FSR Motorsport Creations.

Please see below for a couple of pictures of the car sporting its new livery. Many thanks to all our sponsors who made it possible for us to fly the flag at GATEBIL last weekend!
