That Bel garage Evo is quick :thumbsup: , with one of our race team drivers in it did a 1.44.572 at Eastern Creek yesterday IN THE RAIN. That was the fastest time at the Evo versus WRX Challenge, but not by much (0.05 sec). Driver's report was that it will do sub 40's in the dry with some minor sorting. Looks like my early guess that a 1.12 to 1.13 at Oran Park will be necessary to win this thing.

Some of our customers where there racing and said he did this late in the day when it was dry.

Not based on the drivers report, the track got oiled down when he was lined up for the last run. The time came from the earlier session when it was still wet.

Gary so far the max amount of cars we are going to have on track at once is 12. I would profer 10 but it depends how many we have in each class etc and how long we run the sessions for.

As it stands at the moment we have almost DOUBLE the amount of EOI forms as we have entry spots as we have been limited to 70 odd entries as we want to maximize the track time we give you guys. I want to give Open Class an hour on the track and Clubsprint Class 45minutes. As it stands Open Class may very well end up being an invite only affair for this first event.

I was with BEL for the majority of yesterday and that time was set when the racing line was just starting to dry up. Also they were never running at full throttle that car has some very serious pace in it.

It should be this fast from what it has and with a race driver. Natsoft sort fo shows it was later session to?.

Individual times.

yes, and find a way to cheat! if 42s are the pace at EC I will be a long way behind!! and I thought low 50s was respectable. ;) time to admit I suck and get brisby to run back down the pit lane with my timing beacon while I lap to give me that extra few seconds a lap....

bollocks, just go buy a car that does the driving for you....

Or have a serious go in the s13 ;)

FARK MAN! Don't go giving away out trade secrets! ;)

Excellent, I think even a rusty nut like me can negotiate a time with 12 cars around a track the length of OP. Personally I would prefer more frequent, shorter sessions. Realistically around 3 to 5 laps is all my tyres are going to last, not to mention heat soak engine, gearbox, diff, brakes and driver. Around 10 cars and 20 to 30 minute sessions would be great. Plus the weather can play havoc at OP in July, I would hate to have the results skewed by one long session in the wet. Based on my recent master of rain attraction, that would be bad luck for the poor guys in my session.

Especially considering it doesn't handle all that well, yet. :thumbsup:

Gary when I said I want to give you an hour of track time I didnt mean an hour straight. Open Class will be ( at this stage ) 3 20minute sessions which will equate to a total of 1 hour of track time.

Also excellent news. The reason for the requesting the specifics is that I have 4 or 5 guys pestering me to do set ups for them and I want to make sure I have the right format. Plus there is tyre selection criteria as well, which ultimately affects the suspension settings. The ground swell of interest I am seeing is impressive, maybe you should run 2 days, Open Class on one day and Clubsprint on the other.

Somehow I think the BEL Garage EVO handles pretty well to do those times!!!!

I was with them the day Lofty and Dyno Dave had it at Wakey a month or so ago. Lofty was driving it and doing all of the suspension changes that the BEL boys had been mucking around with for some.

Lofty did a 1.04.2 at Wakey within 5 laps with some changes that he had made. Considering the cars previous fastest was a 1.06.0, I think the changes were in the right direction.

I was talking to both Lofty and Dyno Dave on the day and the boys said the car would do a high 1.02 :thumbsup:

Not sure if you are involved with this car at all Gary, but why do they get soooooooo many people giving input to the car. They have tried so many engineers, drivers etc......

The times that they did at the creek really don't relate to wakey. The lotus that I drive does a 5 at wakey and a 41 or 42 at the creek. I would expect the EVO to do a 40 at the creek.

I hear you Boz. At WP the powerful cars don't get to stretch their legs as much as at OP and especially EC. I look for time comparisons between the 3 tracks often and it isn't always there. In simple terms, WP helps cars with handling and good brakes while EC punishes cars which lack horsepower. So I think the 40 at EC is a little conservative in this case.

The reports I got back were that it handled OK, not brilliant, but OK. Considering how much money it has had spent on it, it should be brilliant. It should have enough adjustabliity to be tuned for the circuit and the conditions on the day. The bottom line is it doesn't, going on the EC performance. But my expectations are high, I aim for perfection within the budget constraints.

I am not sure what the owner is looking for or even whether they have a structured plan for development or racing. From the outside it looks a little random, although I suspect the clash of dates last weekend may have altered the driver plans.

Yep another fast car then joining the pack. Will be great as long as not as quick as the Slot Car, all good. He he.

What power has it got and mods? I hear it is a rolling carbon fibre parts shop?

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
