To be precise, I meant stopping every couple of hours not charging for 2 hours, and it would easily be 2 hours or less with my driving style :wink:
And, it is emotional. Car people get emotional over their passion. I've driven a mid range Euro EV, it was lovely, just like some AI image of a...
Sorry, I don't agree. I was on the RD Forum for many years where Vortex is a very active member.
He's a shill. He only promotes detectors he has affiliate links for.
He never promotes the V1, but uses one all the time. He never mentions things like Escort R360 reactivity, which is notoriously...
We went metric in the 60's. It was an easy switch. I don't know how modern kids would cope with farthings, halfpennies, sixpences, shillings, florins, half crowns and pounds 🤣
Helmets are not allowed on tourist driving days, nor are Hanns devices. It's for the general public to drive as fast as they like. it's also classed as a public road. When it's a track day or race day, there's different rules.
Not sure about open cars on tourist days though. I'd want to wear a...
OK, if you want an EV, great do it.
What I object to, is the Govt's and manufacturers trying to force the crap on me.
I'm up for the journey, not the destination. If I'm interrupting the journey to plug a bloody car in every couple of hours, I don't want any part of it. Even if the thing could...
As I understand it, that was a change to verified lap times. Not the old "I just done a 4:30, honest".
And the cars have to meet spec now. Like stock has to be stock, no road illegal track tyres etc.
There's only BTG - bridge to gantry, and the full lap which the GTD, C8, etc do.
Call it BTG for amateurs ( sub 7 is very good for non pros) and the big boys do an extra 2 or 3 kms.
I think the full record is 5:19 by a Porsche 919 special. Check it out it's hard to believe what you're seeing.
Misha Charoudin was getting fuel starvation on the Zaandvort circuit after they did some suspension mods and put sticky track day rubber on. He hasn't mentioned the problem on the Nordschliefe though.
The tank needs baffleing.
Another surprising thing, how tall is 6th on those Tremec's? It was dropping around 3000 rpm shifting into 6th. I'm betting he's going to get a closer ratio gear set, or different box for serious racing.
You rarely see a car take the Carousel at more than 85 - 87 kmh, he hit 95. That's phenominal for a road car.
I liked the comment, "why spend 300k on a GTD?"
I just had a Duraseal rep out to look at the ceramic coating on my wife's car. It got a lot of waterspotting from when it was in the dealers for some work. The salesman said it wouldn't get waterspotting when we bought it. Yeah right!
He gave me some of their water spot remover which is the...
My Toyota 86 whined like it had straight cut gears. Well maybe that's exaggerating a bit, but it was a surprise when I first drove it. Full synth oil quietened it a bit.
