BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

Haha when he was moving he was quick but he just couldn't keep it on the black stuff. Did you see when his bonnet flipped up?

Yea he stopped at Redgate to refasten in. Car was very fast but totally uncontrollable.

Yeah thought so, also the little red swift was quick! Tony had a good little dual with it, think it was race 2 but it just didn't corner as well.

 

[BIGASH]

Race 2 video Balls over adhesion lol!

In fairness I just ran out of tarmac haha I still managed to 'hold' it without spinning just the track was too small

[dinger]

James, you spelt Tarmac wrong,,,

T,,,,a,,,,l,,,,e,,,,n,,,,t

Lol

 

[BIGASH]

Haha so true

 

[dinger]

Sorry, couldnt resist.

 

[Fred@BTM]

you billy!

 

[dinger]

Actually,,,, I take that back,,, it does seem to have too little tarmac on the inside of Craner!

I never technically spun either, lol

 

[Adam G]

Yeah I think they've narrowed it recently.:S

 

[Fred@BTM]

i was always told to stay off the kerb on the inside on turn in and then apex it late

 

[dinger]

Wish you'd of said something to me before the meeting Fred, lol

 

[Adam G]

SSshhhhh stop giving coaching to the opposition.:slap:

 

[Fred@BTM]

instructor hat on, sorry!!

 

[sonny172cup]

These cars are so twitchy with cold tyres, slightest error and ya off.

 

[BIGASH]

I just fooked up and thats all The rear tyres had only run on the fronts before and were heavily worn so doing 115mph on the first lap was in hindsight a bad call lol

 

[Ian_s]

Your giving that gearbox some abuse!

 

[Tony Hunter]

To finish 1st, first you must finish.

 

[sonny172cup]

To finish 1st, first you must finish.

+1

 

[Fred@BTM]

but to finish first you also need to be billy big balls, i recon Tony and James should have a game of conkers seeing as its 1-1

 

[Adam G]

The superkart boys would win that I think.

 

[Fred@BTM]

that's just for the brainless LOL!

 

[Adam G]

Sure is when in the wet, bad enough in the dry.

 

[not normal dan]

The superkart boys would win that I think.

Now there f**king awesome, balls that big I'm surprised they fit in a race suit!

Difference is, I'm not prepared to put everything on the line for what, a piece of tin or plastic. It's just a hobby.

 

[BIGASH]

Race 3 video hasn't loaded so I'll sort it Thursday night/Friday when I'm next home

 

[Fred@BTM]

hence why i suggested conkers!

 

[mitsiman]

Well done last weekend James, must make you feel that its all worthwhile!

 

[BIGASH]

Thanks Ian yes its certainly given some justification to the other half for spending so many hours in the garage haha! Really chuffed to end the year on a high and have a car that doesn't need anything fixing.

Best of luck for the Birkett I hope you guys get the win again and i'll be watching on TSL

 

[mitsiman]

Thanks, we will try our best!

 

[BIGASH]

So the 3rd race video is finally done! Please excuse the fairly timid starting lap but then started to push on

[video=youtube_share;b0bPduz9ilU]http://youtu.be/b0bPduz9ilU[/video]

 

[NorthloopCup]

Something to watch whilst I do f**k all at work! Well done! Lol

 

[MG cup]

Looks fun in the dark, well done.

Why is red gate so treacherous in the wet or dry? Is it off camber?

 

[Adam G]

Probably a lot to do with so many taking various lines through it, laying rubber all over the track.

 

[sonny172cup]

Great vid James, your car sounds great!

 

[dmallett]

Well done James!

 

[dinger]

Ok, I need more power and better wet tyres,

Great drive James from the back.

It was apart from it was very difficult to see flags! They should have the light boards like MSV use if they run races that late again IMO

Redgate is a funny corner it's actually a tighter corner than it looks on video and even in the car. I turn in a bit early I think but it doesn't unsettle the back of the car so I have always carried on doing it.

Great vid James, your car sounds great!

Thanks Sonny yes it does sound different thanks to BTM engine and BTM exhaust!

Haha I was on worn out 888's it's hardly the wet weather choice I think we should all carry race wets if we aren't going to get told off!

Thanks Dave

 

[MG cup]

Yeah I never noticed that, strange for the size. KH even has lights, just needing green ones and its geared up to do night races which will hopefully happen this year.

It wasn't just your video either, everyone seems to drive easy round there. Does the planes flight path follow the pit straight?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Looks a huge amount of fun starting at the back and then seeing how far up the pack you can get.

Cool little car and some nice peddling skills

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Yea Redgate is a weird corner, starts off nice and easy and tightens, I've been grass tracking there a few times. In respect to race day the amount of cars that spun there and brought grass and crap back onto the track can't have helped proceedings. Made Adam and myself chuckle when the Scoob got beached there in race one, its a 4wd ffs how can you get beached on grass?
