during briefing you are taught correct driving line, braking points, seating position, hand position and a few other handy tips. then u got about 3 1/2 hours out there on the skid pan to put it into practice over a few different track setups, there is a instructor the whole time who will come in the car with u a few times give you ongoing tips through out the day and even drive your car around to show you how it should be done

sorry guys all full now

thanks for all the interest i am sure i will be running another one very soon with WCC so ill post up when i have some dates sorted

few of us meeting at caltex servo kelvin rd maddington @ 7.30am for a 7.40 leave to then meet there for 8am.

cameras? hrmm maybe i should have cleaned my car sometime this year.

I'll be there. :-) Great idea to cruise there!

wicked day guys, had an absalute blast. but now i need new brake pads and i need to change me brake fluid lol.

loved the skids at the end Brendon! and POST UP THEM VIDS!!!

Yeh guys, great day! Had a blast! Can't wait too see some pics or vids.

thanks to all the guys who came and had a ball i think i got about half way through my rubber and a few hits to the head with the car flicking around but yeah i think i will start planning our next 1 asap

Awesome day guys. A day to really test ya car control skills. It was tops.

Tyres are pritty well fried now but hey, ive got a smile on my face that i cant remove. A must do again soon.

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
