Are you trying it right after the needle gets up to temp.? Or are you giving it a good 20 min run before trying it?
IIRC the sensor/trigger for it is based on oil not water temp. as displayed on the dash, and oil temp takes a while longer to reach optimum.

Drive it hard only occasionally? That's a crime!
My Cup is on approx. 125k and has been royally spanked and relentlessly tracked/sprinted from new by me. Apart from servicing it every 6k instead of the factory recommended 12k, it's never had any special treatment and soaks the abuse up...
Nothing wrong at all with that copper's riding. As seb says above, roadcraft is a wonderful thing that's sorely misunderstood by the uneducated.
Evo driver did seem to abide by the rules most of the time, but entering a 40 limit at over a ton before even thinking of slowing down is a but...
This.
The main thing you need is a steady consistent brake pedal position, so that regardless of how hard you're braking, the pedal's always in the same position relative to the throttle.
The best way to do that is braided lines and a good bleed.
Then just get practicing on either rolling...
Started pulling some video together, as usual will take an age to edit, so in the meantime here's some stills I lifted and a short video of a very graceful 172 Cup ;)
I have about 2,000 gamer points, my best mate has something like 45,000.
The test of a driving game for me is if he can win as an experienced gamer, or if I can win as an experienced driver.
On F1, I hand him his arse. First time I turned it on we jumped onto a familiar track - he'd been at it...
It did didn't it?
They only showed a short part of the lap before it slowed right down. If you listen carefully to the engine you can hear it rev so far, and then it misses/stutters around the last few corners.
LOL
Just like Webber after the airborne incident at Valencia this year.
Having said that, if there was gravel there he could have been launched over the safety fence and out of the circuit as he was doing 170 something at the time :eek:
Not strictly true.
Looking at the Bathurst incident, if the gravel trap was tarmac (as is almost the norm on F1 circuits now) instead of digging in and rolling, he could have simply locked all four wheels, and the momentum would have carried him in a straight line until he stopped.
They've...
If price is a factor you can't ignore the £3-5k saving you'd get if you got an Ignis.
Oi!
Nice car though. Was on my shopping list but the miser in me ruled the day.
