[VIC] EXE/CC Winton Track Day - 23 May 09 - ENTRIES OPEN

I get what you mean Eddie.. one point i can think of where i can gear up then down again quickly is turn 1 from the start/finish line and possibly before the left hand sweeper.

But where can i use 3rd?
The hair pins? Or the 2 right handers after the back straight?

Yeh around the slow parts(those hairpins), use 3rd gear... your just hanging in 2nd gear in high revs which makes the car a little unbalance, making it understeer when you apply throttle. By using 3rd gear, even tho the type R motor is a little gutless, you can be more smoother and use the torque to pull through those corners. (Get what i mean?)

And yes in some one of the corners, your hanging of 3rd, shift into 4th and downgear when approaching the corner. It will set you up better

And remember to hit those apex's, dont be scared to climb the ripple strips, that alone will chop another 1-2seconds

[benson]

Nice Clip..

seems like engine and 2nd gear gets a good work out.. have you try using 3rd gear in some of the corners where 2nd gear is in high revs?

Since you told Qballer last time I've been thinking about it and I will try it next time and see how it goes.....it may be a good idea but I just scare I won't pull out the corner as good as 2nd....but worth a try......thx for the suggestion tho........hope that chop another sec off........

ahh progress has been delayed because of exams with uni, i have a little more time now, i still need to organise getting it onto a jig to see how straight it is.

I am still un-decided on what parts im gonna use! there are a few options which have been presented to me. I am still evaluating which way will be the best / most cost-effective.

Yeh gearing is so important with those slow corners. Its the same down here at Wakefield.

If you run a K24 bottom end, 3rd gear pull out of those corners are no problems
