MSV How fast 26th September

Graet read fellas :slight_smile:

[quote=Fluffy] I must admit I struggled with the gearbox. Just down to seat time I think but because the Honda pulls so well, sixth gear feels like your in forth and I messed up a few times. It just pulls so hard. I only did about 3 laps because I was very ragged and off line loads but I really felt like I was learning about the car.

That’s the funny bit in the vid, with you looking down at the gate and talking to Clint, ‘that’s 4th right?,…no its sixth,…eh what??’ :smiley:. You should have stayed out for longer because you were clearly getting in the groove by the third lap, you were really pushing on…respect.

While I was watching Michael out in my car, I noticed the EVO writer/race Roger Green in his BMW 1M, catch up with the traffic Michael was caught in. I was willing Michael on to put his hoof down and not let EVO boy take him. It was relief therefore to see my car go spearing down the straight as they both cleared the traffic, leaving the Beemer for dead…good lad :sunglasses:

Glad you enjoyed the drive Michael, it was a pleasure to pass you the keys. Hopefully it will spur you on to GET YOUR CAR BACK ON CIRCUIT!

As I posted before, I’d invested in a Camsports HDMax Extreme supplied by Dogcamsport. I had no time to play with it so had bolted it in a turned the audio gain down to 3 (out of 7). Its mounted too high and needs to be further forward but considering the difficult metering of dark interior and low evening sun it did well.

I had no time this week to dick around editing in iMovie so just picked a clip small enough to upload to Vimeo straight out the camera. Its a short session with Fluffy’s mate Clint in the car.

Bedford’s a bit of featureless plain so its not the most exciting vid in the world. I’ve really been concentrating on trying to be smooooooth as every instructor keeps telling me ‘progressive not aggressive’. Anyways, critisicm (constructive) welcomed from the great and the good. I sent it to my mate Tap who said ‘have you not got any footage of you trying to go fast’…tosser.

Cool video Benja ,but whats that rearview mirror all about??
Your mug dominates the view you vane sod !!
At least put some gaffer tape over it …
The mirror I mean … not your mug :wink:

Looked fun ben, seemed to be a lot of porkers there, although you should stop speeding the videos up to make you look faster! :wink:

Yes camera on the harness bar between seats does not work well. I need to try it on the other side or get it lower.

Yup Christian, lots of Pork, lightly toasted :wink:

Speeded up? You’ve been driving yer Audi tank around the stockbroker leafy suburbs too much. When was the last trackday you did? 18 months ago? You better be coming out next month to Donny…

Great video Ben, you should get some fluffy dice to show the forces acting on the car. The video even though it’s cool really dosen’t show what the cars capable of.

I’m going to get fluffy dice for the shitbox 306 and put my GoPro in it. We will have to make a split screen video to see how the cars compare! :wink:

Yeah I just watched again and it looks a bit dull. Maybe I should have hoofed it out of the slow corners and lit 'em up for a bit of spice (eh Michael :wink: )

Nice Ben.

I got caught out a few times on coolent dropped by a BTCC 306. Your cars dangerous, it makes you do things. :crazy:
