Kat Benson debuts new BurgerFuel racer
livery
Kat Benson and her GSR were a regular sight at just
about every event last year, so it was no surprise
that the team unveiled this season’s revised
war paint at the recent CRC Speedshow.
“With a busy season planned and Time Attack
continuing to grow, we wanted to keep the car
looking fresh but in keeping with BurgerFuel’s
well known identity” says Kat, adding that she
herself would also have new kit thanks to Vortex
Racewear.
The outside hasn’t been the only area to
receive attention, with the team at Rapid Radio
given the challenging task to fit an audio system
within a Time Attack car. Going with a semi
removable install to keep the weight down for when
it’s on the track, the system is run by
Sony’s XAV64BT head unit, this gives Kat a
full Bluetooth car kit as well as running her AV
system, from there the compact but high power XM1S
& XM4S amps power the top of the line
6×9’s, front component speakers and
10” subwoofer. The doors have been fitted with
custom door cards to negotiate the competition roll
cage. In the boot, a fully removable floor and sub
enclosure were fitted along with three Sony screens
in the lid for when the vehicle is on display.
Kat tells us that further work on the suspension
setup by Autolign Mt Wellington will be next on the
cards, the aim being to maximise grip from the
fresh Nitto NT-05 semi slick tires that will again
adorn the car and fight to keep 300+kW under
control. The team have strong hopes of continuing
the past seasons form which saw new personal bests
at each track visited as part of the D1NZ Time
Attack Series.
