The guys in Baden Baden weren�t very amused after our trackday on that sunny sunday .
We were too loud, louder that the motorcycles the week before, so that was the last trackday on an weekend day. The “PISTENCLUB”-Trackday (29.10) was also cancelled due to protests of a handful of resident of the “near next” village.
We will see whats happening over the winter monthes.
Joe, Munich,
Absolutely fantastic footage - really enjoyed watching that especially the rally cross action coming out of the corners…I hate to think what the marshals here in England would have thought of that overtaking manouver whilst that GT3 was leaving the pits…No other words awesome !!!
Nice videos, Joe (I have read some of your posts on the German Elise community board).
What exactly is done on your car, besides the Komo-Tec 250 kit? Standard gearbox?
Cheers Phil
BTW: Is there any info on that Speedster Stage 3 kit? I’ve got a friend who is looking into buying a Speedster, so any info would be appreciated (perhaps by PM?). Thanks!
Nice to meet you at hockenheim, (i was in the white exige S)
it was a good evening and i am looking forward to the 4th of june for the next one.
Chris, the car infront of the orange exige s1 is actually silver and you can tell its not me coz the rear wing is black. I am in some stills at the beginning and can be seen on a cool down lap near the end
shame, rouven is doing another day at Hockenheim. Obviously not a shame for you, spa is mega!!!
If i may i would like to ask a few questions…
Is your sump standard? or do yo use an accusump or a baffled sump?
What brakes do you run? I am having trouble finding anything that can live with hockenheim…and i cannot just buy a trick brake set up in england due to the tuv…
Finally, what spring rates do you run and are they the 36mm or 46mm ohlins?
Thanks Ian
P.S. do you know a friendly tuv guy who is a little more flexible when it comes to tuned Lotuses? I have moddified my seat mount and fitted harnesses which i would like to have “eingetragen”. Also i would like to have my AP discs eingetragen.
Rouven has booked the HHR again on 8th (!) of June. so perhaps i�ll be there too…
I just mounted a MOROSO oilsump, some weeks ago. Thats a must. Dry-sump kit is too heavy and too expensive (my personal opinion). I�m running on standard-Brakes (!) with Ferrodo2500 Pads. But I�ll kick the whole System in near future. will be replaced by a special AP or HiSpec Brakingsystem. If your interested then I�ll try to get more infos and very important: try to speedup the developer They�ll test their System on HHR the next days. first testresults: 100kmh-0 = 31 meters and absolutely no fading.
Actually the only thing I know about my (new) Ohlins is: it�s the Race Version with additional springs. Perhaps I can mail you the detailed settings. I�ll first have to get the datasheet by myself.
About T�V: Contact Komo-Tec in Mendig near the N�rburgring. Or ask Rouven, he should know someone personally I think
regards, Joe
