Being previous Porsche owners it was a great opportunity to use the membership for once and take the R35 GTR out to the Porsche Owners Club of SA Sprint Series Round 1 and test our new updates to the car. It was a punishing 36 degree day here today, so the heat was on, but the new E85 tune, wing and suspension helped us win the day overall in our GTR with the our new PB (1:13.58) being the fastest of any car by around 4 seconds per lap, and there was some fair competition, numerous GT3/911/GT2/Cup style Sports Cars etc. :)

This is the grid for 'Group 1' which is the 'fast class', with the cars lined up in qualifying order. We put the GTR on pole, and then posted fastest time of the day, so we are happy. Here is the GTR jumping off the line and into the lead :cool:

There is still plenty of development left to get another second or so out of this car, but the trap speeds are now impressive being up 10km/h at the 'kink' for a validated 221km/h speed trap figure. The only thing holding us back was a set of tyres that already had a session under their belt.....we wont make this mistake again. Great test for the car, easy win for GTR where it counts :happy:

Great result Martin !

"new PB (1:13.58) being the fastest of any car by around 4 seconds per lap" with "tyres that already had a session under their belt" is an awesome result.

Awesome :) The Aeromotions wing looks great on the car and the "downforce when you need it, low drag when you don't" effect of the wing will definitely be having a positive effect on trap speeds.

What was your previous personal best lap time before this event ?

Posting such high trap speeds on a 36 degree C day is extremely impressive.

awesome top work Martin and Willall Racing

Thanks....and yes we were running E85 today :cool:

Engine temperatures were around 5 -7c cooler than on conventional gasoline, its like having a big radiator. In fact even at the 13 pace we never logged over 98C in 36 deg ambient, which was pretty cool :happy:

The amount of downforce it generated did bend the factory aluminium bootlid though - so we have to work on a 'fix' for that :happy:

Yep the Aeromotions wing generates a lot of downforce :cool:

This thread ... http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?sh...st&p=478182 ... has a photo and some info on a modification that Aeromotions did to a carbon bootlid and that post reads ...

"... sent it to the wing guys so they could do a couple mods as you can see down the middle of the interior side of the trunk they reinforced it for high downforce loads that the wing will generate."

There is a photo here ...

Are you looking to keep the factory alumnium bootlid or are you going to fit a carbon bootlid long term ?

sounds like a great result Martin, well done. A bit odd the wing bent the stocker boot lid, hmm. I wonder why aeromotions havent figured this would happen- given the apparent testing?

can you give us some feedback on the wing, did you get any data and do you have any conclusions on that?

Hey Martin, Roger, (next to you on the grid), mustve been off his game if you were 4 seconds quicker... Hes usually in the low 16s. Was he really going that slow today? :happy:

Nasty conditions out there today, like an oven

I believe his best was 16.9 in the GT3, vs 13.5 for the GTR, so 3.4 seconds. Mainly it looked to be in the 17s from the lap scoring :P

All the more impressive time Martin! 12s will be a walk in the park on a good day....

wouldnt a wing be more affective if it was attached to a more solid bit of the car. like having some stands underneath the boot lid so the force is pushing down on the floor and not on the boot lid? i dunno im just guessing here?

otherwise that is very immpressive results that im sure will make a few porsche owners red in the face.

Funny you should mention that......... :P

We have answered that question at the link below, as we don't want to clog up Martin's thread about his car with info about the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing ...

There is already a thread about the Aeromotions Wings on SAU, so please post any questions specifically about the Aeromotions Wing in that thread which you can find here ...

Thats a fair effort Martin,

I cannot help but think that the whole combo is now a good thing and that your trans enhancements are making a substancial contribution to the result!

221 @ the kink is the fastest speed I have ever heard of for a streeter with doors . . . or am I behind the times on this point!

Are you planning to venture accross the borders to WA & NSW with "Triple R" this year?

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
