Flatirons Tuning Heading to Super Lap Battle
Soon, the restless air of Austin, Texas will be excited by the shrill of the fastest time attack cars in the country, as hand-selected drivers take to the glorious Circuit of the Americas track to battle for the claim of the fastest lap at the Super Lap Battle USA.
The Flatirons Tuning-sponsored DSX Motorsports' WRX will be at the event, along with many other racers, including those from Lone Star Drift crew, Rally Ready, Boyd Autoracing, and Snail Performance, among many others.
Read more about how the DSX Motorsports car got prepped for this race (including installing a roll-cage, full 6-point seat belt system, and spoiler with custom uprights and mounts), and stay tuned for more updates from the event taking place Feb. 16-17 (our own Scotty and Viet will both be attending as well)!
Porsche Wins Bathurst 12 Hour Race
Matt Campbell, Dirk Werner and Dennis Olsen of Porsche celebrate after winning the Bathurst 12 Hour.
In a thrilling, down-to-the-wire final lap, the #912 EBM Porsche crew won the Bathurst 12 Hour race by a 3.441s margin. The win was initially under investigation due to a bump-and-run inside the last hour, but was ultimately cleared as a legal maneuver, maintaining the win for the Porsche team. Third place was decided by 2/10ths of a second, while the top seven racers all finished within 1min of each other.
Campbell, who placed second in the Bathurst 12 Hour in 2017 and fourth in 2018, said that this year's race was "a highlight of my career," stating "I've done this race six times and been so close the last two years with Porsche. To finally get the victory, the last time with (the 911 GT3 R), it's just phenomenal."
