Day at Donny with ONeill

[northernjim]

I have a qstarz bluetooth GPS receiver with has a 10Hz chip.
This gives you accuracy of 0.1s
The 1Hz have 1sec accuracy and 5Hz have 0.2s accuracy.

Edited for my brain, which prefers this way of looking at it!

It felt strange at the end as well!:smokin:


Wish I had a picture if te guy with the M3 - nice young chap but mystified why his 485bhp lightweight beast was being ragged by two standard CSLs.

Sounds like a great day! Very jealous.:finga: Great times both.

Always seems to be the way with supercharged M3's. Not a surprise.:smokin:

Mike...........what was that about wanting extra power? :whistle:

[deanobeano]

Excellent!
My last track day (a long time ago 2001!) was in my yellow 210bhp S3.

YouTube clip was shaky! Have you got wood chocks on your suspension!!

Makes me want to do 'just one more' now I have Cesil, besides, I need to wear down the new 265/35 rears that it is currently shod with.

Track options for a midlander?

Not sure about overtaking on both sides with some of the blind drivers you get track days

[s.mac]

I use a go pro but it would be good to see a bit of data. Don't want to spends loads on a set up, I need to save my money for all the repairs

[northernjim]

Sam, I did a set of front cups at cadwell in a morning with -1.5, set to -3 in the afternoon and just got through the day, ended up with a set of cups like Duncs :whistle:

Rumour is that Kev left the UK and races in Nascar now, such a great loss to British motorsport (and M3 cutting forums) :bigcry:

From what i heard you have more Cups in stock than Michelin!!, another rumour is that you idle the winter nights away burning em out to keep the garage warm :-D

Someone better stop starting all these rumours :wink:

brilliant lap but brutal on the kerbs.....really winced at poor cesil

hoping to pop my cherry @ the ring and salzburg

do track newbies get a dayglo bib to wear to warn other serious trackday chaps that the track has been invaded by cars that will exceed the 107% rule!!
i apologise now for any future PB's i ruin!!!

Open Track do offer black cross on yellow background sticker, some thing for every one to aim for :whistle:

Kerbs are all part of the track rules for a good line

[3wheels3]

Curbs at Donny are fairly flat except the chicane although the way the touring cars hit even those ones you'd think they weren't there!

+1


Do not go on the ring, thinking the kerbs are the same height as uk track kerbs:bigcry:

There are a few that are 'accepted' to take, but still they are not tiny.

I popped a damper jumping off one at pflanzgarten once:whistle:
