[Dannyboy]

I've finally stepped into the 21st century and recorded/ edited my videos..

can be found here..

Ritual abuse can now follow...

[david nelson]

Looks better than my run. Will post later. 

Thought you had an auto box at first as missed the gear changes

[david nelson]

Here goes

Smooth Not

Controlled Not

Fradley OMG

Fun? YES YES YES 7

Danny - Think you may be loosing a bit on the first 64ft ---- should be down in the 2.3s !!!!

 

Seriously though - learnt a bit more where I am loosing on the T3 time Thanks

Interesting comparing these videos to see the different approaches to Fradley and the variety of attack level on the kerbs

[Simon.Rogers]

Nice runs!  

Watching Shaun's just tells me I have gone soft.  Look out in August!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still uploading mine on the 0.3mbps upload I have here.

Interestingly looking at the splits etc. forgetting the start times and losses due to the lack of tyre warming I was 0.01up on my record run from last year at the first split.  Then muppetry took place!

[Simon.Rogers]

is my T2 at last.

Hi Simon - your video is set to private so we can't see it.

[robmar]

To those on List 1A tyres I salute you*bow*

David - still sounds like a diesel at tickover, and still calling the RSPCA about those cats you are abusing...

Simon - if you have time/sw feel free to compare our videos and find the 0.04s*thumb_up*  I am sure some of your lines where not as you preach...

Thanks to all those who helped make my first sprint go well and all the advice on prep, lines etc.

I can see hesitation in my driving compared to other more experienced drivers and I don't seem to have quite the level of aggression (yet)...

My best (63.2) run in Class 4

​I used Harry's laptimer with manual trigger points as there wasn't a certified track available so some of the timing/telemetry might be slightly out. Used my GoPro with the wrong back cover I think so more wind noise than anything else...

[Simon.Rogers]

Hi Shaun

No its public and has been viewed and commented on from Facebook.

I checked settings and all seems OK.

[Shaun_E]

Working now Simon 

Matthew - not much wrong with that. Looks like you could probably carry a bit more corner speed in places and get on the power a bit earlier in others but I'd have been delighted with that as first sprint!

I had to turn the sound down for David's - can't stand all that screeching 

Not much to say about Dan's run apart from missing the Fradley apex by a country mile on the 2nd lap 

[Dannyboy]

M'eh... understeer.....

Must try harder... it all looked rather too neat for my liking!

 

Normal service (not necessarily faster - but more fun!) will be resumed when I grow some cojones rather than driving miss daisy!

[robmar]

Danny - i am always amazed at how uninteresting some in car stuff looks when actually felt a lot laryier driving...

Matthew - agree with Shaun not much wrong there for a first time

[Dannyboy]

Matt

I concur with Shaun/  Rob.. nothing at all wrong with your run, puts a lot of us to shame in that the lines were driven correctly!

[Silverback]

Thanks everyone for comments and I agree with Rob, the high angle of camera on mine and relative lack of engine noise makes it look very uninspiring but it certainly felt anything but behind the wheel 

[Simon.Rogers]

It was the Petty strut that knew they way around :-)

Excellent runs Matt.

[Leg]

Very interesting watching from the commentary box - perhaps it's good not to know the times sometimes, as you concentrate on the run itself.

David definitely gets the squealer prize!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Class 3 battle and look forward to those 3 meeting again.

Rob - you just looked the smoothest all day - you were definitely the one who didn't seem to be having a fight with the car

Compliments to those making their debut in Sprinting - it certainly wasn't obvious who had not been before.

Lynn

Ps. Most of all i'm looking forward to having a car............................

[robmar]

Lynn - thanks for the kind words, in the past on ZZrs curborough has always felt like a wild ride always on the edge of loosing it, .  I am not sure if i have got the limits of the slicks yet to explore them totally yet.

Rob

PS TM your tip of taking a pen to the start line really paid off

[IanJ]

Thanks to all who provided invaluable advice and encouragement to get me to and through my first ever sprint.  What a fantastic day with fantastic people.  I think I may be hooked already...

Special congratulations to Matthew - a very worthy Novice winner plus your telemetry looks very cool!

Here's my attempt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWnRq6p7aKE

There does seem to be a rather a lot of steering input going on!  I'm thinking the double-apex line through Fradley might be worth a try and I definitely braked too early for Flagpole.  Any other advice gratefully received...

[Silverback]

IanJ - I loved your T2 run with the mini off at Fradley but then you absolutely nailed it the second time round on the same run, ballsy!
