I would agree with that (regarding my lines) that lap was abit untidy hence the op' lock coming out of the right hander! I do like a power slide or two, must be the rallyingOriginally posted by shimmy View PostI think Sy is faster because he has better car understanding and control. My gut feel is his lines are not the best but he copes with them and controls the car better than me.
I'm gonna compare his video corner and top speeds with mine and I'll get back to you :smokin:
Struggled after the first couple of sessions with what felt like a fuel surge but plenty of juice so made no sense??? When washing the car today saw the plastic hose from the hole in front bumper to the intake had fallen off! My fault as I removed the front bumper before Donny & must have not checked it was tight :banghead:

Hmmm Same here! Mainly in the later sessions as well even at half tank! Car would splutter turning into coppice and even once felt like the fuel hose was disconnected for a few secs!!!:moan:Struggled after the first couple of sessions with what felt like a fuel surge but plenty of juice so made no sense???

The CSL suffers from fuel surge on right handlers ESP Coppice (Donny) and Stavelot (Spa) due to single fuel pick up hose, anywhere in between 1/4 and 1/2 tank although this week I ran to the red ith out surge (which surprised me)Originally posted by 83SY View PostI would agree with that (regarding my lines) that lap was abit untidy hence the op' lock coming out of the right hander!

Only thing aout the lines is you seemed to take a short line into over half the corners inc Redgate, Old Hairpin and Mcleans. All I have been told previous says that Redgate and Old Hairpin are wide entrances but Mcleans is virtually half way across track. This worries me as it prob means you'll be even faster then!

Redgate yes but the others are where I was advised to go.Only thing aout the lines is you seemed to take a short line into over half the corners inc Redgate, Old Hairpin and Mcleans.

Mcleans.. similar place to where you had a moment Shimmy
Although we both know you had it and could of powered out :smt023
I wouldnt get away with a sucker mount... I will have a look at the app and see if you can get an external GPS antenna for the money!!It does although only down side is the very poor internal Gps. Sy had a sucker screen mount.

Was that in fiesta (coz it could be totally different grip/line/speed)Originally posted by s.mac View PostRedgate yes but the others are where I was advised to go.

This vid of Richard Abra in his CSL Britcar I know to be a very good lap, albeit with slicks and downforce I admit)

I think I've had 3 instructors at Donny (maybe only a session in two cases) but I'm pretty sure Old Hairpin in CSL is a wide corner entranceOriginally posted by s.mac View PostIve sent both videos to the expert and asked the question
I did it with the same instructor in the CSL and Fiesta
Lighter cars with lower speed maybe not
