    Some vids from trigs trackday on friday

    They are quite big clips in full HD so do take some time to load you might see a few familiar cars in there and there will be more coming just they take forever to upload

    Haha you caught me up as I was cooling down my oil temps and getting some charge back into the battery, it was going down to about 11 volts when on full boost for a couple of laps From about 10:15 on that video (amba0003) I was on low boost for a while, then from about 14 mins I turned the boost back up and seemed to disappear Then it was into the pits a few laps later to listen to it sound like a typewriter as oil was hot again LOL!

    Thanks for the footage dude it helps me loads on what I need to do with the car to make it go quicker next time

    Frank
    Cossie’s always seem to have one problem or another at some point on a track day it’s the law! For me that was more of a testing day as it was the 1st time I’ve ever been out on track with it, I think it did pretty well considering and I’ve got a list of things to address now too! To solve your rear brake problem is easy, fit bigger ones

    I won’t be out in the Cossie at Brands but I may come along to watch, what time does it start / finish?

    dont worry mate the last time the car raced at brands rick was lapping in 51 seconds so i have got some serious catching up to do lol but if we can get round in 54-55 then i will be over the moon but maybe im hoping for too much seing as i have only driven the car once before lol main thing is that the car comes home in one peice for me as my saff had a bit of a mishap at coombe earlier this year

    I am booked on during the day ,the only time i have been out in the damp i ended up in the gravel so i will be a bit cautious if its wet Brands is a bit better for run off than Coombe i can vouch for the gravel traps working

    Im up for kicking some ass, but im taking slicks this time. I struggled on my road tyres there earlier in the year Id say it was retro, the 6 is the one everyone thinks of when they think evo!
