Sports Racer Posted September 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 And we have a new winner. Congratulations go to ArroldN and the race winning taxi. Good to see my brother's car rounding out the podium. Go Aussies!

The biggest exceptions were Shaynus, Lancealot and the taxi. These 3 cars loved the power. Going into the race I was pretty sure my car would finish down the field but pleasantly surprised the guys got it into the 4.8's. Brumos had the fastest lap time but you had to concentrate to get consistently good laps. Sticks car was like driving a drift car, absolutely no grip.

Aloha Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Great to see the results. Way to go Arroldn aloha dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumos RSR Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Great racing ArroldN, Sports Racer and 32coupe. Less than 6 laps between 1st and 10th and a lot of cars swapping spots up and down the grid. Great builds everyone. Told you guys look out for ArroldN he builds narrow monsters that scream. Hey by the way I need 1 point for top qualifier. I need every point I can get with you guys. Keep having fun Edited September 24, 2020 by Brumos RSR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepsi62 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 another great round, thanks to the guys for getting these rounds run so fast, still down the bottom but hey, room for improvement.

Sports Racer Posted September 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 We're really having fun racing these cars. Even the slow ones aren't too slow and the middle ground cars occasionally surprise us when we run them on different tracks. Quote May the downforce be with you.

DP2O1 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) There were some real surprises on Chris's track. It's good fun to run but really rewards handling and grip. Almost all cars made it into the 4.9s in the middle lane but the successful ones had grip on all three. Local MJK tyres worked best.

ArroldN Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) I kept asking who had something for Paul. Surprised that it was me. Thanks to the crew that ran this round. Glad to see my Taxi take the checked flag in the first position. Congratulations to my podium mates. Wow I can talk Assie Way to go Lance on getting in the top 5. Hope the car can get a few more podiums before the season ends. Edited September 24, 2020 by ArroldN Quote MOPAR or NOCAR YES IT'S A HEMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32coupe Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Lucky I gave you all a head start after my penalties, but I'm on my way up the list now. Let's see if I can end up giving Paul a run for his money before the end of the proxy. Quote A man without a woman is like a neck without a pain.

Shaynus Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Thanks to all those involved running the night. Looks like a great track! Looks like my bus likes running at 13.5 V and wasn't an embarrassing handful (for a change!). Out of curiosity, what sort of range of voltages are some of the other tracks run at? Thanks for the videos, and well done to those at the pointy end of the field! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reek455 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Thanks for the run gents. Another midfield run for my jalopy. Congrats to ArroldN on the win, good to see a little shake up.

Sports Racer Posted September 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 All the tracks we race on are 12v except Chris's. Even with 13.5v it felt like 11v, probably because the track is copper tape with no power taps. Your Audi is a quick car and has been on all the tracks we've raced on - check the fastest lap times. It just isn't reliable. It will come off without warning even though it drove through that corner at the same speed for the last 5 laps. When it does that a few times you lose confidence in the car so drive it much slower. Quote May the downforce be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Will it looks like we are half way through this proxy and Paul is showing us the way. I hope I can have a car that is more respectable in the final 5 events. Please have fun guys!!!! !aloha dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports Racer Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 7 rounds to go (12 in total) so lots of time for things to change. Quote May the downforce be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
