Mavrik Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Anyone booked on for this? Full GP circuit - The full day price is extortionate imo but I'm booked on for the PM sessions for £249 (MSV) Give me a holla if you're going! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mavrik Posted August 22, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Well... My 1st time on the full GP circuit at Brands Hatch was a hoot! I know I'm no "racer" but managed a 1:55 odd lap despite the Clio Cup boys buzzing me on a testing day! (They're friggin crazy!) Have to say that the new Yokohama Advan AD08R's are muuuuucch better/grippier than the Michelin Pilot Super Sports that I replaced (even if they aren't N rated!! What a croc that is imo) I'm confident I could probably get down to 1:52's with a few more laps Doing 58's on the Indy but I need bigger nads lol however, it's all about the taking part (that's what I keep telling myself!) Shot on my Drift Ghost S cam with the external mic placed under the engine cover carpet - Telemetry using a QStarz 10hz logger paired to the RaceChronoPro App on my Android & merged using the DashWare PC program. I need to do the GP in my 350z GT HR313 now to compare!! ? Anyhow, here's a little clip of my best lap ? ...

Windymiller Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Looks great mate - I found the Indy circuit boring after a half day at Brands (it was pouring with rain also, making it very greasy), but the GP circuit looks really fun and interesting. Love your camera etc set up, particular the rear facing display on your after market head unit ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love your camera etc set up, particular the rear facing display on your after market head unit ?? I've done the Indy probably around 15 times in total now & as you say, it is a bit boring & like a merry-go-round! It is good for "time attack" though ? The full GP isn't open that often through the season due to Council noise restrictions so is a bit exclusive (and ridiculously priced imo) but they added a half day from 2-5pm as there wasn't that many cars booked on tbh (due to the full day price being 450 notes!) The majority of cars there were the Clio Cup Series race cars & they were there testing before the next round! The rear view camera I've connected so that you can switch it live at the touch of a button - The head unit & rear view cam are both Pioneer DVD jobbies...

Took my 350z GT Roadster round Brands GP circuit ? Bearing in mind the Zed is 265kg heavier but with roughly an extra 13bhp (and incidently half the price of my Cayman S) I was running virtually the same lap times In fact, my best lap in the Zed was a thou quicker lol & with the roof down... Go figure... Clip here: Edited October 29, 2018 by Mavrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going next Monday , any tips for the GP track? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @Craiglm68 My tip would be to turn in later than I did!! Taking a later apex is sure to carry more speed through the corners... Also, try & brake as late as you dare & turn in later at the end of Pilgrims Drop going into the right at Hawthorns. I'm sure I could also brake later & carry more speed through Stirlings as there is a lot of +ve camber on that bend than you think ? I still haven't completely sussed what gear to be in for Hawthorn & Westfield. You'll see from my clip that I was in "control" of the car all the way round but for a much quicker lap you'll need to completely trust your tyres & carry more speed through the corners & get on the gas on the exits sooner than I did! I was originally running the Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my Cayman but I've now changed to much more track focused Advan AD08R which are much more confidence inspiring imo. Have a look on Youtube for track guides for the best lines etc. The main tip is just to enjoy yourself & drive within your limits ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love some adjustable coilovers but "the computer says NO" Incidently, jcm987 what sort of times are you running in your modded Cayman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jcm987 Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 @Mavrik That GT3 master cylinder will be a revelation on track. I've never done Brands GP so no idea on lap times. On the Indy layout we can do 56:00. With no exhaust baffles and actually hitting the red line, probably could go quicker. Noise limit stops us giving it the full send. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
