smooth driving John

[SS8_Gohan]

nice driving!!! what's the setup at the moment? and what tyres were you using there? sounds like semi's?

[Downforce]

Sounds like road rubber to me.

[ssxRicho]

Haven't tried semi's (r-comp) yet.

595RSR 235 Front 255 Rear

A1RM pads

324mm front rotors

215rwkw

swaybars + greddy type s

camber bush

1.5 way KAAZ

I've done a 1.24.x there in October (?) last year. The only difference from the above with that time was PMu HC+ pads.

The setup now has cusco upper arm, 255 tires up front, 330mm ksport brakes and blue/yellow stuff pads. With an unknown diff (nismo/cusco 1.5).

So i would expect at least another 24 with the current setup. The aim would be consistent 24's.

[Downforce]

Those Federal 595 RSR's are very grippy for a street tyre... some of the guys in NSW swear by them for the track, they are almost a semi slick if not for the UTQG of 140

[ssxRicho]

Yeh well I've got some AO50's to drop on the car later in the year. I can tell you RSR are a good street spec tire and more consistent the KU36.

But they are still a good 2-4 seconds slower than AO50/RE55. Depending on the track.

Hi John,

I have looked at the Regs for the AROCA day and it says all competitors are now required to have their CAMS Officials Licence for at least the Flags Category? How do you obtain this?

Sorry I am new to the track day scene and hoping to have my car ready for this event and want to have all relevant Licence's. I have obtained my CAMS Level 2S.

Thanks in advance

Jamie

I have never had a problem and I don't have the flags license. L2S will be fine.

The flag guff is there from when no-one was turning up to be a flaggy for their days I imagine. What they do know is either employee flaggies

for the day or organise licensed flagies to assist and 'train' other AROCA club members to be flaggies.

the AO50's will automatically bump you up to modified class

[ssxRicho]

Didn't say I was going to run them at WRX day's

Though earning points in two classes would be nice.

[UNR33L]

Don't have cams license so won't be at this one but hopefully see you guys at the WRX one in a few months

Thanks John

[mistamidget]

Definitely can spectate.

Spoke to the organiser today and there is still room so I'm entering Monday.

[Downforce]

I haven't entered yet, going to wait and see how my tuning goes next week.. if all is well then I'll just enter on the day and pay the extra $20

[ssxRicho]

Yep come along and have a look. Security on the gate may ask who is holding the day, FFCC.

Nice footage John.

What camera setup are you using and also what are you using to display the gps track layout and speed?

Very interested in setting up something similar..

Cheers
