The laps towards the end where you were talking us through driving technique were great :)

[@BenR22]

Wasn't much else to talk about at the time! And I didn't do a great job hitting my markers haha.

@@BenR22 I'm sure you would have hit a lot more if you wern't talking, but that's no fun!

Nice drive again. Will be part of the Orange Family helping you guys out next year.

Awesome! Top job. It's something I couldn't do, or would be rubbish at!

Thanks chief

[@robc3056]

Sound like your doing the commentary from the toilet !!! Lol great as always mate thanks again . from the first pull away the motor sounds totally different wow motor pulls so much harder now makes you wonder how much power the S/C civics are really running

[@BenR22]

I spend a lot of time to get the acoustics to replicate a toilet.... We all know that's where most men watch vids. It's just crisp now, don't have to think about being in the right rpm anymore. And which civics?

@@BenR22 Quick question ...importance of roll centers.. gotta road car and have been reading up on roll centers from what ive read the lower arms are wrong due to being lowered (-40mm) Is there a general rule of thumb as im looking to raise the car..will say it was 60mm lowered when i first got it and it seemed to roll around like a boat -40mm springs have reduced this any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated..

@@robc3056 for a Honda?

[@UpShiftTrackdayVideos]

That sound is your tire running on the bodywork. Mine sounded the same!

[@BenR22]

Turns out it was the rear tyre on arch. I've dropped rear camber by about half a deg.

[@xXxH8TERxXx]

isn't that a "race proven" shifter....😬😉 my tunnel got hot as hell to. So If done the heat wrap around the exhaust what helped but its still hot. So im going to put reflective tape on the underside of the tunnel this winter 👍🏻

[@BenR22]

Yea I think new exhaust and ceramic coat. Heat wrap I hate as its a huge fire hazard if any oils get on it. But I also need some shields.

[@JaredR1996]

Another awesome video Ben 👍👍👍

[@BenR22]

Thanks bud!

[@JaredR1996]

Ben Rushworth no problem 👊

[@hoodstig]

Excellent vid broo!!! Keep them racing going!! Hope your doing well

[@BenR22]

Thanks man! I'm good and I will keep them going 👌

[@danielearl3916]

Would be sick if you vlog from the start of the day to finish, like all the prep of the car heading to the events, around the pits ect

[@BenR22]

I know, several people have suggested that, and it would be nice. But it just pretty difficult to do the things I need to do whilst holding a cam. Ideally I just need someone else to film it lol.

[@quiff2004]

Sounds like you could do with some heat shielding between the exhaust and the car! Well done on the win👍

[@BenR22]

Definitely! Next on the list now

[@BornToDrive1500E]

Are you on the same tyres as that focus at 17:55 ?

[@BenR22]

No idea, never looked at his tyres. We are free to run any semi slick we want out of the msa blue book.

[@canadiangoldenerahondas]

Another banger! 👌🏻

[@Dan-Bartlett]

Personally, Ben's content is the only reality TV worth watching! Splendid stuff! Theoretical question: If the racing gods were to pick you to drive in a bigger racing series, e.g BTCC, would you still continue vlogging while racing?

[@BenR22]

Hell yes! I'd love to upset loads of people with harsh truths, and be that guy in the paddock that isn't diplomatic lol. But despite it being quite a usp for sponsors, I'm not the clean cut, obedient type.... So that's not great for getting big money sponsors. Catch 22. But I'm deffo going to move vlogging into historic racing with me, and radicals if I can raise the funds for next year. But I literally can't put my finger on a series that has my full attention. I wish they still did mad cars like imsa in the 80s or group c.... Basically when cars were original, looked amazing. Now everything is one make, boring as hell, can't tell the difference, technically snoring...... Btcc cars are all the same underneath essentially.......so the awesome drivers and the not so awesome ones (see, I can be diplomatic) ones are pretty close on lap times in quali.

[@Dan-Bartlett]

@@BenR22 I dunno the BTCC need some more lively characters in the paddock to spice things up a bit, I think you'd be well suited haha! Historics would be awesome, never know might be at the next Goodwood Revival! And yeah it's like TCR, all the cars just look way too similar for my liking, unlike the good ol' Volvo 850 from the '94 BTCC. I do enjoy one-make series just for the close racing, especially the Minis they ran at Thruxton back in May. But yeah most cars these days have little to no character to them, unfortunately. But whichever series to decide on in the future, we'll all be watching, I'm sure! :D

Ahh good to see the rear view cam is back :) How about some footwork cam? Just for curious one like me.....

[@JROBDC]

Ever thought about trying a hybrid racing shifter?

[@BenR22]

Yea, felt one a while ago and it's not the step up I was hoping. Got a new one coming over winter.

[@CarreraCupPov]

great vidoes, but i was wondering why there is such a huge gap between cars/bhp in your class?

[@BenR22]

There isn't. I'm running about 15bhp/ton below class limits at the moment. In that particular race, 2 fast guys didn't turn up. Power in itself means very little, and I've probably got the most "stock" engine out of anyway.... As it only uses factory Honda parts. The 2 other classes are 145 and 200bhp/ton, my class is 260/tpn. Its what you do with it really....

[@Nick-vk4zv]

Ben what championship are you racing in next year? Any chance you can post some dates for donington really wanna take my son to watch you race. Cheers

[@BenR22]

Hi nick, I'll be doing about 3 championships next year if all goes to plan, of which no dates are released yet. But keep an eye on my Instagram page and I'll probably put a calendar up there.

[@derekcann9637]

Valve clearances will close up as valves stretch particularly if one missed a gear and over revs engine Who’s missing gears? What shocks are you using and are they 3way ?

[@scottwyman5014]

Rubbing on the Inner right?

[@BenR22]

No rear right outer arch lip. It runs virtually 5mm clearance if that.

[@Downhiller992]

Time for a new windscreen with tear offs!!

[@BenR22]

Tear offs are more expensive than a new screen!

[@douglasmorrow8004]

So whats next year's plan? You said she only had to make it thru the season.

where did you get this shifter from?? anything will be better than this! sorry not everything Austin Allegro box wont beat it... Will be Marshaling at least one of your races next year so see you at the track!

also, is it a staggered set up or not ?if none staggered what tire size?

Yea staggered. 255/40/17 front and 235/45/17 rear.

[@infinitygears6388]

Whats the plan for next year Ben?

[@BenR22]

Still want to get down to btcc lap times in the teg, and I would love to do a season in an radical. But we can all wish...
