Track day car

well done, you were flying. the yellow flag thing is easy to do in the heat of the moment. is the lad in the civic and the ibiza sandbagging, or is that there limit? looks like you could have them easily enough, watch what the lad in the civic does at the last corner before the flag.

Cheers man I know I'd should have the legs on the civic but didn't expect to be so well in with the seat.
I think that seat has some power but I'd say the Saxo is well lighter.
I seen he tried to get the switch on him and drag him down the straight,but he was never gona have the legs on the seat.
That was my plan but I messed up in turn 4 I should have been tight and tried the same move,I'd say I could have got the hop on them.
More experience needed I'll be a lot wiser the next time.
I was watching on a video you going around the outside of turn 3[emoji50]savage move that was it was dusty out there Sunday,I looked down there on the civic but backed out!maybe next time[emoji848]

hard to make it stick on turn 3 as the exit is very tight, i'd normally use that move to fluster the car in front and try them at the next corner. in the wet its a different story, more grip on the outside, if you have a big pair you'll make it past! the track was very dirty on sunday, expect your times to be quicker when the rallycross guys are finished dumping muck on the tarmac. as far as i can remember that seat was a 2.0 and wasn't all that heavy.
 
The civic is a 1.5 115hp so was flat . Fastest was 1.09.2 in qualifying. Adrian's car is well faster

Yeah the seat is an ex rally car 2 litre they have detuned it for this season
 
if the civic is only a 1.5 you should have him, but they handle really well so you'll have to choose your spot. i'd say the seat is just liftinga bit on the straights as the civic can stay with him. for me, it just doesn't feel like a race if your not flat all the time. i know barrier times are a necessary evil, but they don't work for me.

I agree with you , if you can make a car as quick as possible within the regs you should be allowed use all that power .
But on the other hand Marty is flat everywhere in the civic , of coarse there is more in it with some setup but it bang on for the barrier time at the moment .
It's a pure coincidence that the car worked out that way .

thats great for him, think adrian may eat a few burgers. i think a load of those civics would make a great class. cheap, reliable, handle well, parts redily available. what more could you ask for.

Another lad Eoghan o Brien is building one at the moment to be ready for the round but it the 130hp model and a more experienced driver wonder how much of a difference it will make
 
I have a better idea what I need to do next time,not to break that barrier time.With the old ADO8 tyres it still feels like I'm pushing hard but loosing time due to lack of grip and traction.Also a full tank of petrol will really help if I get carried away,Sunday I ran only enough for the race.If I can qualify somewhere other that 18th[emoji15]I'm sure my chances get a wee bit better of going for the front.Should be an interesting year the extra 15hp in the Civic will help him on the straights, whatever about the corners ya don't want to be a sitting duck on the straights,especially when we're doing the international.

So with just ten days to go until I'm back out for round 2&3 it's time for a spanner check.Only problem I have is my abs light is on and as a result no ABS,I cleaned all the connections and sensors but still noting.After checking some of the google results it seems I need around 1000-1100 ohms at each sensor.Ill check this tomorrow I'm hoping it's just a sensor as this happened before,and came good again after fitting new drive shafts.
