Superlap Timeattack Is Ago!

That Bel garage Evo is quick , 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.

I was just checking Natsoft site.

EVO V REX

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.

Meh, EVO drivers They are worse then GTRs I am going to borrow the bosses Cortina rally car and before the event let go an EMP. Then see how fast these cars with electric ass tickling dildos and tooth brushes are

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.

Also I am seeing what I can do about the friday before for practice.

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.

wow. not long ago anything in the 40s at EC would win you almost any sprint day. on that day there were 25 cars in the 40 second range!! that is insane.

[PORTS]

Time to get a bigger set and turn up the boost me thinks.

[Beer Baron]

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....

[PORTS]

Troy's too good a sort to be running around with timers, just give him the keys.

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.

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

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?
