It's Android Auto actually, and I'm mirroring a phone screen to display the racechrono pro app

@arnohoens7405 started at 1.8 cold was at 2.3+ after 2 laps

@wout-janwaslander2555 Yeah correct. Taking out the interior and noise insulation dialed up the sound quite a bit also

Afternoon was too hot yeah, but could have gone a lot quicker in the hour or so after this.

@@JCviggen1 Know what you mean. Had I known it would be like that, I would have pushed right after as well.

@gogolio I had my technical issues (had to change to another set of wheels due to rear tire damage) then some pasm electronic crap... and then of course day 2 was a total disaster for everyone 🤣

@@JCviggen1 I blew a rear tire too. Right before Mut curve too :). Was trying Nankangs, but I think I'm done with those.

@@gogolio I had a chunk missing from the inside of the rear left tire (cup2r) have previously had the same failure with a trofeo r on the same wheel 🤷‍♂️ had zero issues with the nankang cr-s so far. In fact I ran those the rest of the day after the failure since I wasn't going to be doing any record laps anyway

@@chrishart5474 yeah bellend move that... he quickly rediscovered his common sense though by packing up and leaving immediately after 🤣

@goranjakopanec2289 Should work, not tried it yet.. size should be OK yeah.

Masterpiece mate... best hang onto it. They're all just different degrees of fast

Yeah we saw, at least he had the common sense to pack up and leave right after lol. Honestly no idea why Darren feels the need to allow cars like that. The event is oversubscribed anyway without "race cars" that are simply 20 times more likely to create an issue like this. No benefit for the trackday only more risks with cars like that. I mean it was barely a Nissan anymore - just a home built spaceship tuned to within an inch of its life.

@@JCviggen1 a few discussions were had around this. At the end of the day, whether it's an E46 or E92 M3, 997 GT3RS etc, any car can drop coolant or oil or blow a hose. I think GT4RSs have blown oil hoses too. Admittedly, I think the likelihood of it happening is higher when it's a highly modified car ... but luck of the draw really. I'd agree no race cars, but it is what it is - plenty of other track days available

@@greyhobbit Oh sure, at the end of the day there are no certainties and DN have been pretty good generally. I just don't see what the race cars are adding to the day quality wise since they end up taking at least twice as much space in the parking lot as well. Actually there's very few trackdays available that have an acceptable number of entries for me... so there's only DN pro track and MR (hard to get into) since Gran Turismo is at the wrong time of the year for me

@@JCviggen1agree there. That aside, the lap was rapid. Is it standard power?

@@greyhobbit Not anymore (it was last year) now it has headers and a remap but that doesn't do much at the altitude that the Nordschleife is at unfortunately. Since I did pretty much the lap best time I could with the car +/- stock last year I went with the MR kit + power upgrades this year. I reckon the car will be 5-6s faster when all is said and done but there was no opportunity to get that performance out of it on this particular trackday... lost a lot of time on day 1 sadly (and it was too warm in the afternoon anyway for records). Considering I was rusty early in the AM and the traffic I'm surprised it was sub-7 at all so the car must've gotten quicker.

@CubanRider Yeah I'm always in 3rd there normally, no idea why I was in 2nd 😂 just rusty and it was really the first quick lap of the day

They softened everything quite a bit, just damping. They never say exactly what they changed but I can go and look at the settings obviously. More compliant now, still not really soaking up bumps but not launching off them anymore. I wasn't planning on any records but didn't get much testing done either. I reckon the car is probably about 5s a lap quicker now than last year though.

@16valver yeah in this case it's the modifications that created the issue, putting on the MR coilovers means you have to fool the car into thinking the stock dampers are still there and that system failed

Second that, we're getting old 😂

@@jerryho1104 around 2 bar / 28 psi front and just a tad higher at the back

@@Expt629-BrInStAr it was a 2008 4.2L V8 naturally aspirated.

@@JCviggen1 nice! The generation after that would also keep the same engine, but move to an eight speed auto.

@ssssjjj Hard to say when not running them on the same day, brand new the pirelli may be a tad faster but overall the Nankang is better all round and lasts a lot longer

@@TimurIskhodzhanov There's a program called More Incredible Bash (M.I.B.) that will unlock AA on the PCM. Free to download and use.

Thanks man. I guess its only 31.8-32.2 "old time" though before they changed some of the asfalt... it's impossible to say for sure 🤷‍♂️

@@JCviggen1 could You give me some camber spec - could be prv

@@radical_driver Need to ask Manthey 🙈 I don't know because they didn't tell me 😬

@radical_driver I'll ask them but my guess is around 3 front 2.7-2.8 rear. They call it "agressive setup" for cup2r. I don't know how it works on Nordschleife 🤷‍♂️ I changed rear sway bar from middle to soft setting because car was too unstable

On this track I don't think it matters much 991 vs 992

Good question, with a manual gearbox I don't imagine there is anything in this range that isn't on slicks 🤔

Unfortunately it can always be faster :))

I find it very consistent on these tires, it's the tire more than anything that decides this. Cup2R is faster on the first lap but then drops off in pace. Mostly I was improving by finding out later braking points etc. throughout the session. Probably 7-8 laps

@@JCviggen1 Sounds about right. Thanks for your input. I'm due a tire change soon, so will look into these tires

sure. @jancoomans

No I had M Engineering tune from the US. Gain was less than 10 HP compared to stock ECU with manifolds, over axle pipes and muffler.

Once... :D Not recommended if you want to continue using the car

@@JCviggen1 or if you want to continue living I suppose

Not sure 🤔 Manthey set it up. I guess its around 3.0/2.7 more or less. Spa has some new asfalt, faster lap times than before. I think minimum 1.5 seconds faster - but very difficult to pick the braking point into bus stop because there are no lines or bumps to remember anymore. Just black asfalt. Cup 2R lap will be posted next week I think 🙈

Goeie band ja, werkt in de regen (goed genoeg) is stil op de autostrade en doet goed meerdere rondjes zonder te warm te worden. En slijtage is ook prima. Zeker beter dan een gewone cup2 voor circuit maar record tijden zijn voor de cup2r enz.

@@JCviggen1welke Nankang, CR-S?

@@mich5528 yep
