Sandown April 29

If anyone is interested this is a video of the lap from sunday with the new nittos, overlayed with the lap from 2 weeks earlier with the old kumhos.

Very interesting, thanks for posting.  Which Nittos, and where did you get them?

Very impressive lap times from a standard MX-5 engine and brakes.  Does it have an LSD?

[lightyear]

Yes, it has a standard mx5 torsen diff. The nittos (nto1) are from ebay - taleb tyres. They are almost half the price of the kumhos, and just as good, if not better. I will see how they wear, brendan has had his for 6 meets, and looks no more than half worn. He locked a brake at turn1, and now now up for another pair. Went down to the wire.

Two videos from the day.  It's a new camera, so haven't got the exposure settings right....apologies in advance!


The apprentice -

The master -

Probably more in it from Trent if it wasn't for a BIG crack on top of the centre muffler heating up the cabin (could not touch the drive tunnel) with the heat also affecting the clutch line, which ended our day.

Neil & Damon Choi didn't have a lot of luck on the weekend with their car overheating. Here's a clip of me chasing Damon in the Group S Alfetta

A couple out of a handful of laps I managed to do for the day, due mainly to noise issue, black flag at end of clip

Great stuff Victor, thanks for posting.  Yes, Mary definitely lost at least a second on that fluffed gearchange.  New engine sounds great, and the acceleration is incredible, 3rd and even 4th gear don't last long. 

Just one question though.  If Trent is the Master, and Mary the Apprentice, what does that make you?  Year 10 kid who had his homework 'eaten by the dog'?

Nice one. Victor, you set yourself up this time.

[Victor Lee]

On the day, Mary called me the "Himbo"   

"Gofer", "Pit Crew", "Support Crew", "The-guy-who-wanted-to-drop-kick-his-new-video-camera-dude", "Drinks Boy"

All of the above!

No Mick, there can only be ONE Gumby!

A few laps chasing the blue 105 (not sure whose?), finishing with a spin when I braked a little late for turn 1....

I like how you get a little opposite lock coming down the hill into dandenong!

Nah - that's just the wheel not being centred properly 

[Frank Musco]

That Ricciardi is just a whole lot of fun.
