Hi guys.

Just something I've been thinking about, I couldnt really squeeze time off this time round to go to superlap this year. could have but family business, its in my own interest to knuclke down and make mullah.

So, next year I'm planning to go. But rather than just fly up and watch, I think I'll organise a trailer and tow my car up and have a crack. Would be a fantastic experience.

obvioulsy I'll be putting some more work, time and money into the car but the aim is to go up, have fun and hopefully come back in one piece. would be a great learning experience, still get to see some of the worlds fastest cars in action and get to steer at EC.

would either enter street tyre class or Open (semi's)

probably going to have a spend min 5k between now and then, but thats fine.

and without the car itself, fuel in the tow car, accommodation etc and meals and entry plus ferry, i'd guess 3-4k. thats allowing 1k for fuel 2k for ferry.

I have family in syd, not too far away, maybe 45 minutes from EC, plus I think I can nab myself a trailer for nix.

so if anyone was thinking of having ago and would be keen on a roadtrip, something to think about anyways. :cheers:

HSCC are working towards hopefully running Tasmania's first time attack event either later this year or early 2012.

Discussions have been underway for a little while as to the best event format for the first event.

If it all ends up going ahead as planned you will all have plenty of notice :).

I was about to say, we should have our own Time attack here in Tassie! With Black jack! and hookers!

Every driver that has a fit Mrs, sister or mother has to submit them as promo girls that can walk around. All the not so attractive ones can just go be flag marshals.

Two Classes, Street and Open.

Streets have to be road legal and registered, can't go faster than 63?

Open is what ever. Need a cage and all that fun stuff.

Sounds great, exactly what the tas motorsport scene needs. I'm sure it will be very popular, I'm keen!

regs for street tyre class? are these full race cars with street tyres or modfied street cars?

Don't get me wrong, i think 'timeattack' is good will get more people in. I have wondered why one of the clubs didn't rename their supersprints to timeattack to entice more young people.

Because old people that hate young people organize it :P

marketing marketing marketing! tis important.

I think it will take off, its something that seems to be growing well world wide. And I think because it will put all different types of cars in the mix, it will be healthy for the local motorpsort scene.

it shouldnt be as hard on cars or equipment as drifting and should be less than super series I guess.

I do hope it takes off, would be great to see half a dozen or so events held each year. combine that with the hill climbs, drifting and super series etc bit going on.

    • 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.
