I know I am a little behind with this, but recently new to me.

Mercury Motosport R35 GTR built for the World Time Attack Challenge. Built with AMS 4.0 bore and aplha-10's turbos, straight cut strengthened by Dodson transaxle, and a chassis to match it. The car just being built didn't fully refined engine, suspension and aerodynamics before completion. The car also broke a transmission shifting fork and a broken throttle pedal but managed to place 11th in the 2011 WTA Pro class with a time of 1:33.5 around the Eastern Creek International Speedway. Tarzan Yamada was also teamed up to drive this car during the event, his run in video below.

Overall it's a sick set up with lots of potential to go faster. The CyberEvo placed first with a time of 1:28.8 around the track. It's now retired and now replaced with the CyberGT-R.

It will be interesting to see how both vehicles will perform in this year's August 10th World Time Attack Challenge, WTAC.
