Battles set for July 20th
You asked for it and we're giving it to you. Here are the matchups for the Live Sockets Battle Series at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA this Sunday July 20th. See the Redline Time Attack website for event and discounted ticket information.
GT-R battle - Cobb Tuning vs. Focus Auto Sales
 
This is the battle that JDM fanatics will be talking about for years; GT-R vs GT-R! Can the older R34 hold its own against the brand new R35? The new Skyline GT-R35 has been the talk of the automotive industry after unofficial videos showed up on Youtube of the car killing it on the N?burgring beating the more expensive Porsche 911 Turbo lap time by 2 seconds.
Cobb Tuning bought this RHD (right hand drive) GT-R straight from Japan and have been developing various parts for this car including their AccessPORT ECU tuning tool. The team has been shaking down the car at a number of track events and we are excited to finally see this car in competition. The Focus Auto Sales GT-R is well built and pushing 588whp. Is this horsepower advantage enough to counter the technology advancements found in the new generation of GT-R's?

AWD/RWD Battle - GST Motorsports vs. C-West/BC/Hankook
 
We hit a little SNAFU in the planned VTEC battle when the Factor X team informed us that their car won't be ready for the Battle Series in Fontana this week. Luckily GST Motorsports was ready to accept the challenge and will take on the C-West/BC/Hankook S2000. At the last Redline Time Attack event at Miller Motorsports Park, the C-West/BC/Hankook S2000 ran away with the overall win while setting the course record of 1:35.307. The GST Impreza won the Unlimited AWD division with a lap time of 1:36.941.
This AWD vs RWD battle will come down to car setup. Which team will have the better setup to handle the high speed course at Fontana.
Check out the full specs on these cars here: C-West/BC/Hankook S2000, GST Motorsports Impreza L.
