Autosport Skidpan Day - Oran Park, 2nd November


Recommended Posts

There's another of these coming up. They're a really good day - a mix of advanced driver training on the skidpan and some motorkhana-like fun competitive bits.

Some info here but best to register with www.autosports.com.au (free, just a forum) for more info. You'll need to register if you want to go.

Round #2

Sunday 2nd November 2008

ORAN PARK SKID-PAN

• Maximum of 30 entrants

• $140.00 per driver

• Lunch provided (Sausage Sizzle and cold drinks)

The Autosports Ultimate-Control series is designed to give you maximum driver tuition with two of Australia's best driver trainers.

At these Ultimate-Control events, you are not just going learn about sliding and skidding your car with under-steer and over-steer driving techniques, but in the afternoon sessions you will then compete with your newly developed skills against the other patrons and the clock.

Morning sessions will involve direct tuition for driving control under adverse conditions. Learning how to slide "drift" skid your car on the water covered skidpan in a controlled manner. This will be done in two groups of 15 and will involve ONE ON ONE tuition with the likes of John Boston.

Well the first of this new series was awsome, the next we hope to be even better.

For a fun filled day that will see be apart of the best driver training available as well as having a laugh with a great bunch of guys and girls... get along to one of these events.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
