  1. You notice he only really jerks the wheel when he has come out of an opposite turn. ie. a left and straight into a right... I would have thought the jerk on the wheel in this situation is to shift the balance of the weight so it does not slide in to the opposite lock... ie. prevent a harder turn of the wheel to make the corner, as you know less friction on the tyres would certainly make a few seconds around a track as long at the ring... make sence??? if not keep reading... ok so you have a set of corners shaped like an S, so a left then into a right... So you go through this S with pace, you enter the first turn left smooth as you exit the turn your about to go into a right. However the body weight is still leaning right and you now need the body to lean left (change the balance point). You can either give the wheel a twitch/jerk and set the balance in the opposite direction pre corner allowing you a far less aggressive angle and hence create less tyre friction... Or you can go at the corner with the cars weight still leaning right and wrench the wheel right to make the corner... Im getting into symantic's details here, but drifting is a good example of weight shift left to right to get the car into a drift without using the hand brake or massive power... So drifting is about freestyling its about holding a balance point beyond normal practice... Timed events is the opposite, but both are using the same factor to acheive the outcome required... Lap times are faster with less aggressive cornering, smooth lines, weight distribution and the balance point of the centre of gravity... But most of all, good lap times are about trying to capture every bit of energy and apply that to forwards motion... Any loss of energy is a loss in time, and tyres bleed the least energy in a straight line... So what im trying to say is you want to keep the tyres as straight as possible for as long as possible... This is not only good for creating less friction but its easier on the wallet at theend of a big track session... does this make sence now???
  2. OK, I have two problems with this video... 1. The ZR1 vet absolutly smashs the ZO6 in real life... (stock vs stock) So how did the ZO6 camera car even come close to keeping up with the ZR1??? 2. Also the ZR1 in the US is similar money to a GTR so this only shows their on the same par once you modify the GTR... i.e. you have to spend more money to get a GTR to beat the ZR1... Either way, the video shows very little...

  15. Yeh its a 2010 car, there are a few racing this year basicly for setup and test time... The Ford GT40 is the other 2010 car that was testing the other day... You may have missed the GTR if you tuned in late as Isaid it had a messy tyre blow out and that was it for their session...
  16. I had a similar experience with an LJ Torana (my first car)... Leaking fuel pump (mechanical fuel pump, is lubrcated by the sump oil, driven via the cam shaft) The difference with more story is the sump went down the head went up and a hole pile of flames said good night to that engine...

  24. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<FYI>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Im not going to delete this thread, just warn the readers of the obvious details... This car at best is only suitable for track use... It can never be registered... Also can never been proven as having a clear title... In other words may be stolen or have been involved in a debt of some form... A word of advice to the seller, you may have been scammed in buying this car. However trying to scam others to get it off your hands is a very low act. Take the advice given to you in the other thread and pursue the matter legally, the way your going about it makes you look like a theif trying to sell stolen goods. CLOSED
  25. yeah i know its not cricket... its whoretown...
