MG Car CLub let you through scrutineering with bonnet vents? What class were you in?

They threw the book at me for that last year. As I drove into the pits in the morning, a scrutineer followed me to my pit and accosted me about the vents before I even got out of the car!

^^^^^^ That kinda shit makes me see red.

It's happened a few times now, and each time it has literally taken all my willpower to stop from ripping their head off and shitting down their neck.

Maybe I have issues, but I like to be made felt welcome when I pay to be at an event. If I'm outside the rules, then sure, come and talk to me, but don't yell and scream at me in front of a crowd.

Ok, lest see if this works...

This is what I make when I get way too drunk and cant sleep, some times. I wake up some time later and with hand in head, mutter those famous words, "Never Again"

Harry, I've had that bonnet on the car for....7 years. Never had 1 scrutiner question it.

Just got done with doing my first track day at Zandvoort, Holland. Good track, with an EPIC back section where you are 6th going over a blind crext into a mega fast 5th right hander roller coaster. This section of the track makes it the goods :worship:

I had booked an R300, which has 40hp more then the Superlight in the vid, better suspension and roll cage...but a guy binned it at Spa on Tuesday on me...and the spare R300 they brought on the trip from UK punctured its fuel tank at Spa :(

Had to buy a GoPro the day before the event and they dont like beign in open top cars. took a lot of effort to get the wind noise as low as in the vid (which is still pretty bad)

fuggin awesome, just went to visit zandvoort a couple of weeks ago with my mate during the week, just epic to see the undulation, mega jelly of you getting to drive it man!

sweet vid russ, car looks freakin fun to drive. nice steer job

Finally have some footage I feel like sharing. This was done at MDTC in Marulan, NSW. Tight little track but a whole lotta fun.

Before you say anything, I don't know why I started driving one handed later in the day. Was doing alright earlier. For some reason started holding on to the gear lever like a 3yr holds his... well you know. I guess I must have scared myself into regression :teehee:

Thanks for the tips on dashware - great little piece of software. Way better than RaceChrono2AVI for this kind of work. Data was collected using QStarz lap timer. Strange was 0.1 difference between the laptimer and Dashware.

im stoked we got you using dashware Eric. very easy to counter any sync issues too.

Perhaps you can build some GTR style gauges to use? :)

Hey Guys

This is my vid from my outing at Lakeside Park on tuesday. It was my first time on semi's and my second sprint at LS, and my first time breaking the 60 second barrier as well. Thought I'd post up here to get some pointers from the guru's as to where I could cut some further time out of my laps and any other hints you guys have to offer as well :)

Thanks Guys :)

good one Ian. Welcome to the sub 60 club! I like the look over at the wall after that warm-up oops! lol

these would be my tips:

1. Carousell - not wide enough in the middle of the corner to get a good exit which is important for the back 'straight'.

2. Turning in a bit too early for the bridge, which is why you end up wide right out at the edge of the road.

3. Hungry - use all the road. you're coming in far too tight. Should be over near the gaurd rail before you turn in.

4. Eastern Loop. Looks like you're coming in too hot and just washing out to no-man's land. Fast line is right the way round the inside.

5. might be turning in a bit too early on Shell corner too (onto the front straight), but that's not a massive problem with the widened front straight.

watch scooby36's vids for a masterclass in Lakeside's lines.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
