CSRacing Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 First race of the season at Snetterton with CSCC Mag 7's Number #5 Was a wicked day and would recommend to all of you. I started at the back and stayed there all race, but AeroRace Spec not upto the rest of the guys racing Ordered more bits, but will slowly get better and upgrade it :-) Will update my YouTube and Twitter with new Videos of each race http://www.youtube.c...g?feature=guide Throttle bodies, Wide Track, better pads all on order. Trip to NMS soon to get it all sorted and GEO done Brands in 2 weeks time, but not sure i will get much done, but will try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 good on yer for having a go chap - enjoyed watching the video to be totally honest looking at the video I would be spending my money on some driver tuition - that sounds really mean I know but I think the experienced racers/sprinters will agree with me looking at your lines please dont be miffed at me by the way I am a total novice other than a handful of track days and would love to have the balls to have a go at what you are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Nice to call yourself a "Racing Driver". Start last and finish last, at least you have room to get better. Good luck over the coming year, Vroom Vroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianstewartshouse Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Well done you, I started racing this year in the Northern Ireland Roadsports class and you've already beaten me, I had a little moment in my first qualifying and was out of the race due to a damaged steering connection on the upright. Posted a video on here a few weeks ago! Great thrill though! Keep up the good work. What are you using to record the data on your video?

Second day out in the car as only a test day before, but even getting the right tyre temp is a magic art I'm not used to yet. The Geo setup should make life easier, plus the pads on rear were just street ones, so not as easy to stop as i expected, but have new ones on order Need to learn to heal and toe too, just maybe on a track like bedford, so mistakes easier to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video is via Chasecam PDR100, old but used to be a good model before HD, then overlay via RaceTechnology, as i have the DL1 MkII,Dash 2 and ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thos Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is that the standard video output from Race Technology or have you got the video license? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSRacing Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Cheer guys, will keep you updated on my progress. should have spent 2-3 months testing on the car before racing, just weather/work/issues stop me, oh and a collapsed lung too :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thos Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Also - how long is that race?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSRacing Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is that the standard video output from Race Technology or have you got the video license? Yep i got the video license as wanted full screen with no big water mark, but i think the normal one is the same just its at 50% of the resolution maybe Also - how long is that race?? 40 mins race with 1 min pitstop, as some swap drivers or cars to bring cost down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
