Congrats FFR & John George

[Mark Dougherty]

FFR had the 818 at Watkins Glenn this last weekend.
John George driving
They were testing the 6 speed STI trans.
WOW WOW WOW.
John ran in the TT class and ultimately ran a 2.02 fast lap.
In a car that was clearly underpowered ( some other issues )
Just incredible. He came in second in his class. The fastest I have ever seen a FFR at the Glen is a 2.015 So he is just shy of getting into the sub 2 minute lap zone.

The Trans by the way ran just great.
Again way to go FFR. Continually testing their products at tracks is what sets Factory Five apart from all other competitors.

That's awesome! Hopefully someone got video.

[Mark Dougherty]

Not me but John got a bunch.
and as always I am sure he will post it.

Great drive!! The more they work on it the better it gets!

What happened to be underpowered?

And does anyone know the gear ratios on that 6-sp STI?

[WIS89]

Awesome driving John! Way to go Team FFR!!

How many simultaneous projects are they capable of managing? Way to keep juggling those balls and breaking new ground!

Awesome job all around, and looks like all you 818 builders are going to have another new toy to play with...

Great stuff-- and pretty darned fast too!!

Regards,

Steve

Best,
