With racing results a bit hard to come by, we can tell you the quickest car on track was Robert Marjan’s world record holding R32 GT-R. While not eclipsing his current record, he did punt out a six second pass at over 208mph.

 

Also claiming records for the R35 variety was Lance Tartner cracking the first seven second pass in Australia for the R35 breed and it is a street car.
