NISSAN GT-R // LIVE AT THE MAZDA GP

This past weekend saw a whole host of things hit the track at Portland International Raceway. Saturday, the Driving Sports Time Attack Challenge took place, a four hour battle for fastest lap, that drew an interesting mix of automobiles. Out of the entrants, looking to set a new lap record, was the Cobb Tuning Nissan GT-R. Right hand drive and ready to show off, the Cobb Tuning boys dialed the GT-R in, apparently having to hack the ECU as to allow the car to unleash its true potential. A few hours of tuning and they cut it loose on the 12 turn, 1.9 mile circuit. Taking first in class, it was impressive to see the GT-R on track. Big thanks to Mike Hiransomboon for the photos //
