out of the 600-and-something sub's I current have, Ben's channel has to be in my top 5! ...I always look forward to his uploads! I love the race uploads! Keep 'em coming Ben!

[@BenR22]

Wow thanks man, this sort of comment makes me want to work harder at them. 👌

[@chiefslief1886]

Just in....clicked thumb up!

[@phildbird]

What did the clerk of the course want this time Ben?

[@BenR22]

I can't actually remember. I forgot to go up to her, and went back later. They were concerned I had gained an advantage going off track (right.....) , but even if they applied a penalty I was too far infront of 3rd for it to change the results that they didn't bother.

Your racing vlog cheers me up

[@BenR22]

Thanks! I'm glad it does.

[@sparkplug964]

Good race. Can I ask what brake disc you are using, and what BHP are you getting from your engine?

[@BenR22]

Dixcel plain discs and engine is 231 hp at the hubs.

[@sparkplug964]

Sorry, I meant to say what brake pads are you using?

[@BenR22]

sparkplug964 dixcel specom alpha pads, good stuff!

[@jadainnovationsjadainnovat9001]

what was the deal on the end? great driving as always. you can't win them all 👍🤙

[@UpShiftTrackdayVideos]

Haha, the first lap just reminds me of Gran Turismo! What pads are you running? I've gone straight out on a set of CL RC6's and they were prefect from the first touch of the pedal till the last.

[@sparkplug964]

Great pad the CL, I ran them on my GTI and was amazed at the pedal feel and bite of the pad, but they are expensive.

[@BenR22]

I run dixcel specom alpha. They're good but every pad needs some level of conditioning. The cl's not so much being sintered... But they eat discs.

[@UpShiftTrackdayVideos]

They don't eat discs when there hot, from my experience. I had a set of discs last 3x sets of CL RC6's. Maybe your brake are too small? but that might be a regulations restriction?

[@BenR22]

@@UpShiftTrackdayVideos my discs are small @300mm.

[@UpShiftTrackdayVideos]

ah, how thick?

[@johnr53john]

NOOOOOOOO! Don’t like the new boots, can’t see your dancing feet as well as before anymore 🙁

[@BenR22]

They're old ones! The new ones broke and I had to send them to sparco, so then gave me my money back. Need to choose a new boot!

[@johnr53john]

We (I) want you to have really bright ones again 😃 Helps us amateurs see how it’s done 👍🏼

[@BenR22]

lol, i'm trying to decide what ones now, its a tricky choice as I destroy then so quickly!
