Dialing in the new setup

[NZ_M3]

Latest track day - finally the weather cleared and I was able to take the CSL out and dial the shocks in. Had hell of a time trying to dial out an overly zealous rear end.

New setup - KW Race 2 ways - 14kg/mm spring + 1kg/mm keepers - no wheel alignment, no corner weight (old height reference only and camber guaged at home :hahaha:), 9 years old Michelin Cups that have gone rock hard and belong to the bin :bigcry::blalalala: + a big dude sitting in my passenger seat riding shotgun :supz:

Yep, that's the one the Aussie Supercars (V8s) used to visit until about 3 years ago. It's now run at Hamilton (which is about another hour drive down South) - now a street circuit race.

it is quite a short circuit and not very technical, but very difficult to improve on time as the track has very little run off and is VERY bumpy.

As a reference, in the E92 M3 also with passenger and completely stock standard I was doing consistent 1.12s (this is driven conservatively).

The CSL in the old setup was doing 1:10s with no passenger and driven moderately, it will do a 1.08 when pushed.

In the new setup with VERY old tyres, no wheel alignment, no corner weight and basically learning a completely new setup and dialing the shocks in it was hitting consistent 1.09s with passenger and full tank of fuel. So plenty more improvements to come for sure :thumbs:

Cool mate. Pity they don't go there any longer. Looked a real big balls track with bumps and close barriers. Sounds like somewhere familiar but a tad longer here in europe! :whistle::smokin:The Supercar V8's looked like bucking bronco's round there! Awesome.:thumbs:
