yeah dean did a great job in that clip. he was starting rear of grid, he was in the faster of the 2 classes, he had done plenty of race laps there before, and most importantly it wasn't his car :) but it is top driving.

as to how to overtake in a race, you would be amazed how hard that actually is, especially in fairly well matched cars. I spent my first year's racing qualifying OK but never being able to get past, you really need to be patient, turn your brain on, and plan many corners or even laps, in advance.

for actual overtaking moves/battle check this video. The quality is rubbish but keep an eye on the skyline and commodore and what happens where and how.

I overtook the corolla twice, he took me back twice....gtr vs 2l corolla sports sedan

And then skyline vs 6l commodore....my car was down on power and handling like a pogo stick at the rear, but you will see 9 changes in position in 7 laps including including in the dog leg on lap 3, turn 1 in lap 4, dogleg lap 5, side by side from the dogleg right through to the flip flop on lap6 (don't let anyone tell you that you can't overtake in the flip flop) and side by side again on lap 7. This was Oran Park short so it is super difficult to get past (no long drag strip straight)

all until the fuel pump failed on lap 8 :) limped home the last 3 corners way back

I checked the car after - we had some scratches on the right rear quarter panel but no dents on either car - great race!

LOL @ Paul!!!

I overtook an Alfa at the flip flip on a supersprint 2 months ago...he gave me a frown as we came back into pits :)

Gee's Duncan, the gtr sure was a pogo stick!!!!!

may or may not be worthy of it's own thread,

perhaps we could post links to outstanding pieces of driving in here?

How to over take, By Dean Evans:

Did the other cars have power or weight penalty? :)

      Yes, it will take a fair amount of solution but the sodium citrate + citric acid + detergent is cheap stuff. Use laundry detergent instead of dish soap if you want to reduce the bubbles, also you could just buy sodium citrate and add some citric acid to the mix until you get to a weakly acidic solution if you don't feel like dealing with all the bubbling generated by adding everything together. For a fuel tank you need quite a lot of distilled water but it's probably worth the effort.

      Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
