Car: Caterham R400

Circuit: Spa Francorchamps in Belgium :)

The POV1 do take good footage...but top little cars and a great track!

that camera is great quality!... I'm so jealous, I almost bought an Elfin instead of the GTR and after watching your video I think I should have... looks like heaps of fun that track, thanks for posting

I'll have to upload some of mine. You make it look to easy. I have a lot more efforts of trying to destroy the poor little car - although who ever thought not putting ABS into a car is an idiot IMO. lol

That looks like a blast. Where was my invite? I busted my hump at crumy Winton and your out at Spa. So who got the fastest time?

Car R32 GTSt BIGRED

Driver: Me

Track: Winton

I have never had a serious go in a car with ABS so i actually found the Golf at the Ring pretty shit with the way it pushed back against your foot and resulted in inconsistant pedal feel. So wasnt a fan of how ABS felt, no ABS is the way to go, 100% :devil:

The car did try to kill Snowie, me and it had an understanding coming from the 10 or so laps i did in the wet, where i was whispering in its ear to not kill me :D

I am hoping to go back in September when they have the new R300 Racecars, so if you are interested....i will keep in touch. Have to see what work calender has me doing, may have to be a UK track in October

Your Winton laps are going to take some beating...i dont even know how many pieces my car is in....after the Caterham i think i want to drive proper race cars, not shitty street cars with a turbo setup. It was just so responsive to what you wanted it to do as opposed to my car which takes so mcu crystal ball reading mid corner and man handling...your car seems to be improving on the consistancy front

Haha - I'm currently uploading both of our inertia clips in the one video at home. My upload speeds are horrid though - 13hrs for the one 6min vid :)

I have a few more to load over the next few..... months. Will have to bring them into work and upload them instead.

Yeah it's possible. But I still just think it just decided not to stop because we weren't friends like you guys were. (I think the car is a 4WD/ABS hater deep down!) You can see I don't even think about down-shifting to 4th as I knew as soon as I put my foot on the brake we weren't stopping.

Although you know how many issues I had with the shoe situation. You can really hear how I have to roll off the trottle way earlier than you so that I can lift my left foot out of the way so I can use the brake pedal. And also how under brakes and trying to down-shift I had to have my left foot higher than my right foot (because there wasn't room to fit both feet) so I either don't depress the clutch enough and can't grab gears - or else I press the brake too hard (to get enough clutch distance) and lock the front tyres.

It was a good challenge though!!! (I should have just got some shoes too like you did).

I do have some much better sessions where I can drive ok - as well a bunch more bad stuff (we definitely didn't bond! I mean the car even tried to Massa me at one point!) so I'll slowly upload some more over the next few days (and this time select the right aspect ratio!)

Yeh, well i am glad i bought the shoes. The second i sat in the car i knew that sneakers were a no-go from when i tried to pilot a Formula Ford, in the car park i thought i would be ok only for it to turn into a mad panic attack when i could not hit the right pedal.

Sittng here in London it looks like the Consulate are going to royaly screw me which means i have alreay checked with Jonny and the R400 is available for Zandvoort next Tuesday. So if my visa is getting knocked back then at least i will have my passport back. This Near Life Experience may still have some legs :(

Jesus, you're a game man uploading that mate! lol

Hey, are they snowflakes on your helmut Snowflake?

Says the man who drove though a fence (twice)! :( The good news is I have a collection of more commical moments uploading now.

And yes they are snowflakes my good man!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
