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...

While you wait for it to charge?

I had some of that white stuff on the grill area, it wiped off.

Awwww! Poor you, I like kms just fine. I can even remember empeehach. 😁 And 100mm sounds better than 4 inches any day of the week.

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.

Judging by their decisions, probably pissed as newts.

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.

He mentioned making it a full on time attack car, I'm guessing he wants more Mustang in the Mustang.

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?"

Platform hooker heels and greyhound skirt?

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.

I used to be a big 6 cyl fan, but now I prefer V8's. Don't know why. What really bugs me with modern cars compared to old stuff, is that you could easily tell a 4 from a 6 from an 8. Now in many cases they all have that horrible whooshing sound when you rev them. Probably from all the filtering...

That's because the high pressure areas on a "hood" are at the front and then again at the rear. Which is why the cowl (rear) has always been where the intake for interior ventilation has normally been.

Exactly, it's just about bedding in the rings with some extra cylinder pressure under load and making sure they're being lubricated well.

I do prefer the Dark Horse exhaust tips though

If you want to learn to control oversteer, buy a rear swing axle design car. early VW's, Skodas, Corvairs and for those tired of life Porsche 930 Turbo. ( Not strictly swing axle, but same effect) Make a will first.
