Bedford GT today!

[shimmy]

Well a beautiful day today at Bedford - sun was out and rain stayed away.

I managed to get thru the whole day with the SS Race Back Box on without one noise issue :thumbs:, or even a warning. I short shifted in the morning and in the afternoon i tried to keep away from the meters a bit.

good to see DuncanR in the morning (car-less :bigcry:) and also 3Wheels3 and PhilJ. Just our 3 CSLs there but a few E46 M3s were also around.

Just been looking thru the data and looking GOOD! :whistle:

BRING ON SNETT :smokin:

[philj]

Was a great day!
Shim, be interesting to see the results of your improvements after Snetterton.

Cheers
Phil

recorded on the VBox Lite but until today i had no Rev Can input (but all sorted now)

Quick stuff Shim, very impressive, loved your line at the fast kink on the back straight :D

I almost touched the black stuff, must remember to keep it straighter next time!

I reckon I dropped +1.5secs in the kink allowing for shimmy's car being bit quicker. I think your right about your 265 up front + weight saving make it good on brakes/turn in. I think you've still got a bit on couple of corners but great drive...you didn't let shedwards drive did you??? ha ha ha

I really think the lighter Volks/265 up front were abig difference. My ideal theoretical lap made ip of only the last two runs was 2m 40.8 and teo particular corners were faster

Just watching again - the way the Intrax deal with those curbs at 91mph is incredible.

PS, lol @ the 1:30 antics, you do know that you are supposed to stay on the track don't you? ;)

o was running softer this week with 12f and 15R

as for staying on track, I didn't hear that in any briefing and don't see any black flags:blalalala:

Serious question. Where a circuit doesn't prevent is it acceptable to either miss the corner entirely and/or be on wrong side of kerb totally? I'm not sure of answer as in a race they would probably but can't help feeling your actually losing some of skill/experience of circuit.

Mainly thinking raidilon corner 5. Yes you get better time but you're also avoiding a tricky part of track :smt102 Personally I'm thinking take as much kerb as possible but at least two wheels on the track

PS Hadn't seen your post Mr Shimmy, oops. I hear your point and can't really argue but nevertherless, are you missing out?

nah your right, two wheels on the track is the right way and it was just my eagerness to get the corner speed higher there was pushing me out too far. (I'd decided to work from out to in this time)

races you get black flagged if you continually put 4 wheels off
