Re: my new nova

Its definitely a confidence corner. I try and tell myself to brake later and always exit thinking I braked too early.

Re: my new nova

I don't think I braked in the same place twice ,but the last time I raced I was aiming for the pit exit but was never brave enough

Re: my new nova

I guess it's a heavy old barge to slow down ,I still need to hone my braking points ,I am still braking way too early for paddock

Where do you brake?

Re: my new nova

Problem that I found when chasing Ian is that he brakes very early so I tend to have to brake harder to avoid running into the back of him

Re: my new nova

I think it was the nail in the coffin for the brakes !! I can't understand them fading as I hardly use them

Re: my new nova

Thanks, hopefully i'll get some footage up soon. Im not sure im the right person to take tips from though I still have a lot to learn

Any vids from yours?

I forgot the camera in the first race but have got the second ,my niece is currently editing it down ,she is going to stick it on YouTube in the next couple of days ,you can't be far off getting it right if you are in the 51,s !!

Re: my new nova

Cheers ,you are right I could corner a bit quicker but once on the straight he just pulled away ,but it was fun while it lasted,it certainly goes like it has 400 bhp ,well done on the 51 sec lap ,did you get any footage from your second race ,I need to study it to see your braking point into Paddock

Re: my new nova

Sounds like first couple of rounds went well Jezz , and the issue with the brakes looks like it has just occurred in the pic above

Re: my new nova

Looked good all weekend Jezz. Great to see a battle between 2 totally different cars, it looked like you had the advantage through the bends and Ian had the grunt down the straight in the focus. I believe he has 400+bhp so very well driven to keep up.

Re: my new nova

Look the nuts bruv , and fantastic piloting again showed up some much faster cars

Re: my new nova

Well round 1 and 2 went well ,I managed to finish both races got a couple of class wins and a 5 th and 6 th overall ,had a couple of small issues the brakes went again which stopped me from continuing a great battle with Ian Butlers Focus and the throttle spindles on the carbs was sticking which made things interesting at times.thanks to Jon for this pic I had a cheeky look up the inside into Druids but Ian turned in leaving no space so I had to bail .lol

Re: my new nova

Be good to see you back out there mate, half the fun is in the tinkering isn't it?

Ive got loads to do but should be out. Ross's 206 went pretty well last year so he should be ok.

Re: my new nova

I see from Davids thread you're out on the 12th Jezz, have you changed much else on the car?

Lots has changed,it is going to take a bit of tinkering to get it back to handling how it was but should be better in the long run .have you entered ?,my mate Andy is helping someone who bought Ross Loram,s rolling shell they are flat out trying to get it ready
