manimmal Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Cool build, i've been lurking in the background enjoying it for a while. At first i was unsure about no chicane but judging by your latest images the speed you'll come downhill to that right hander will require some well judged braking without potentially ruining the flow with a chicane.

gref Posted October 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 braiding has started, well this piece anyway, we taped 2 lanes 75% and nearly used 2 full rolls of tape. Col will order 2 more rolls and then hopefully it will be not far of ready to run Quote 2 x australian ego champion regards Shane Fulel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gref Posted November 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Track is now fully braided (apart from pit lane which will happen later) I think Col will put up barrier/fencing before power to avoid too many trips to the concrete floor 1 Quote 2 x australian ego champion regards Shane Fulel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gref Posted November 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 It’s alive, Col wired up one lane to test today. All barriers are temporary so no big crashes happen until more permanent ones are installed. I did some laps with my NSR Mosler and it is beautiful to drive. Ultra smooth very fast. Gonna be real good to race on! https://youtube.com/shorts/aT-9JukohGc?feature=share Quote 2 x australian ego champion regards Shane Fulel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFlippant Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Looks great! Is there a good picture of the pit entrance and exit somewhere? I can't get my head around it from that last photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gref Posted November 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 So after racing for a while, the corners circled were giving us grief, upset the cars too much and as such, Col decided to change them to make the lane more appealing, should be much better 1 Quote 2 x australian ego champion regards Shane Fulel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gref Posted December 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Track piece completed and re fitted, looking for ward to giving it a run Saturday. Col will most likely give it another coat of paint today.

ZeGas Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 As a guy that designs roads for a living I can tell all that the length of the curve is more important than the radius, short curves are hard to read and adjust too and then readjust, its where most motorcyclists come a cropper. And even knowing this I made that mistake on the very first track I built. Quote Cheers Grant .

gref Posted December 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 This piece is the removable compulsory crossover for digital. Has not yet been tested but today Col was working on getting the lane brains setup with changers. Time and patience is key so work will continue tomorrow 1 Quote 2 x australian ego champion regards Shane Fulel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean a 180 hairpin is easier to drive than a 15 degree slight bend in the road where you may just "slip" off the side shoulder?

Genuinely interested (sorry for thread high jack) no idea, if it doesn't work I'm sure Col will tackle that if need be, there's a compulsory crossover on the Bathurst track and you don't even notice it there Quote 2 x australian ego champion regards Shane Fulel racing in first track build --> https://youtu.be/nG1EyFkbJSs My second track build --> raceday - https://youtu.be/8WXYQ528iKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely interested (sorry for thread high jack) Yes that is exactly right, drivers generally have an alert reaction time of around 2.4 seconds, it takes the brain that long to register a change in driving conditions, so a slight bend does not register as quickly as a hairpin, as the hairpin is a substantial turn. This is assuming a small radius. Edited January 3, 2022 by ZeGas Quote Cheers Grant .
