Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

[shiftspark]

Race Render. Overlays come from our data logger.

Not sure if I have asked before but which logger do you use and has it helped you to get quicker , if so how ?

Cheers

 

[Jay Payne]

Not sure what it is, got off ebay and Ian_s kindly showed me how to convert the info into usefull stuff. Weve not had a chance to use it much as we got it for oulton. Used a borrowed one for mallory and it was good to compare our technique. Tony brakes later for chicane, i carried more speed through esses. End result was similar.

Mainly going to use it for video overlay as we find that useful for comparisions. but on occasion we will compare laps using circuit tools software. Will be usefull on circuits where i struggle to keep up with Tonys pace.

Kerb abuse

Hahah that's the same corner everyone told me to "cut into deep" - I ended up on 2 wheels and had to change my pants

 

[Tony Hunter]

If your going to do it, do it fast, much safer.

Cheers Jay,

I have been looking at the Dl1 and some data I have been running through the program , its quite straight forward to find where you are quicker or slower the hardest thing is transfering that back out on track as in hillclimbs we only get a handful of runs and it can ruin a run trying something as if it makes you slower you only may have another run left.

I may invest in one eventually but I daren't add up how much I have spent for this year already

[Ollie82.]

Car is looking and sounding incredibly fit gents. I'm more than a touch narked that the Brands race is on a sodding Monday...

 

[Jay Payne]

Bank holiday monday, does that help?

 

[Ollie82.]

Oh thats an impressive blonde moment on my behalf....

See you there then.

 

[Silent_Scone]

LOL ^

 

[Cup_Phil]

Wow just watched the videos - I really can't wait to get mine back down to Brands now - and Anglesey

I've not had chance to get it on track since the ITB's and all the stripping happened over winter - but your car sounds awesome and goes like hell
What tyres are you guys running?

 

[Jay Payne]

Dunlop's. As always

 

[Tony Hunter]

Old ones.

 

[Cup_Phil]

Interesting - I mentioned to one of my mates who does a lot of sprint racing about getting R888's and he said "they're over advertised b****cks, get dunlops"... lol

 

[Toastfrenzy]

A048r's.....8 trackdays and still plenty on them...

Wait until you start pushing

Weve been saying that for 2 years. They were great when they were cheap. Now they the same price as everything else. Bit of a sheep tyre, they are kind of the in thing. Get more forum kudos running them. They are better in cold/damp conditions tho, but dry track Dunlops are ace

 

[Jonny1*2]

Federal R are supposed to be great tyres also. I'll be getting them next. 888's are good, but I wouldn't pay the price for new ones.

Blimey what a read, I started three weeks ago and have managed to intermitedly read through. Nice to see the progress from Clio wheel barrow to track car. Great videos and the tin tops looks like a lot of fun series to run in. I'd love to have the time to do something like that but I think for now at least I'll stick to my track days. The new engine looks and sounds very impressive and I'm sure will give you guys an added boost this year. I'd lhope to get along to one of the races this year and was just cross referencing the dates with work and I think I'll be able to get to one at least. I'll be following you guys closly this year and wish you all the success.

 

[Jay Payne]

Thanks for the comments mate. Glad there are still people out there willing to read my scribbles.

If you come to a race make sure you come and introduce yourself.
