Okay, I can't resist entering something to the
unlimited class. Making something that suits the Initial D class would be lots of fun but sadly I don't quite have the time to do that yet.
Naturally, I'd like to run the
Nightfury TDS. This is the road-legal model, road-tyres, 98RON, no race parts car with a whopping track aero and suspension setup. The technical specs can be viewed
here. I decided to run the car as is, without any track-specific tuning.
- It also breaks 240km/h on several occasions, so scary.

Thus the official time stands at 4:09.53.
Though the following isn't official and is more for interest, if you put semi-slicks on the TDS, it puts out a 4:05. Optimising the gear ratios for lower end acceleration shaves of 2/10ths, though I can't get any more than that due to wheelspin (
with the traction control on!!!) The even more powerful prototype from which the TDS came, which has a
1kw:1kg ratio, has all racing parts and body completely stripped, could only manage a 4:06, thus confirming that there is such a thing as
way too much power for downhill, but then again, anyone who read/watched Initial D would have already said the same thing of the TDS version
