Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

[Jay Payne]

That brands start was certainly a cracker!

How come you were so far down the grid behind those cars in the first place when you had that much more pace?

iirc we only had a 20min session, i had a trip through the gravel and there was a safety car. So not many laps. Finished 3rd on the road and 2nd in class so not a problem. The best start was the first Donington one tho.

Team Burpspeed wiping the floor with everyone in starts and pitstops all season!! Top work guys

Was I right in seeing the newsletter the other week was wrong about the fastest Tintops pitstop was Hammersley at 41 seconds? I'm sure you guys had a sub 40?

think that was refering to the snett race only

Top video, thanks! You seem very adept at getting to the inside for turn 1... I need to take note of that.

i just go where the gaps are

Thats a proper bit of racing getting up through the grid like that, I think you should occasionally deliberately grid in last place just so you can provide us with entertaining videos
lol

Thanks to Tony by the way for the tip on using Agency Transmissions, they have just done a couple of quaiffe diff'ed clio boxes for me at really good prices

 

[Jay Payne]

Donington was 10th on the grid and 2nd at the chequered.

Epic!

 

[dmallett]

Awesome video that! quick off the line

 

[mitsiman]

Had to get that one in.

Thruxton with the Trucks this year then.

Mentioned it incase anyone missed it!

Thruxton in a Truck - now yer talkin - should put the 2CVs on at the same time!

 

[Tony Hunter]

It's past your bed time.

 

[aucky]

Save me a massive search, is there footage of Jay's start at Oulton this season just gone?

 

[Jay Payne]

obviously not watched this then?

3:20

 

[aucky]

Ha, brilliant!

Love some of of the manoeuvres in there! Particularly Silverstone

I was still on the throttle when they all braked !!!!!! Poo time.

 

[msa197]

That bumper cam will have to be made permanent for this year, some goods shots when it was used.

 

[Jay Payne]

Need to get a more user friendly camera for that really. Im still planning on doing something with that footage

 

[Yanoo]

Great vid as always!

 

[mitsiman]

It's past your bed time.

I was late to bed but didn't get up until 10.30am - not 6!
Anyway first crash of the season - I left the handbrake off Ashleys Stockhatch and it's rolled down the yard and knocked the door off the Clio - typical stockhatch driving standards!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Give yourself point's and a 2 race ban.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Bl00dy Hell!!

Only 2 test day's at Thruxton for the whole year, and that's in Feb. £165 for 55mins. I'll book all afternoon.......I think not.

 

[Toastfrenzy]

Ha ha, just read that too.......so can expect a steep entry fee to match as well perhaps...

 

[Tony Hunter]

Hope not.

 

[Jay Payne]

Isnt it flat most of the way around anyway?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Yeah, but there's flat, and then FLAT!!

 

[Daniel]

Yeah, but there's flat, and then FLAT!!

Like going out, and going OUT out?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Like going out, and going OUT out?

Which I thought you were dong tonight.

 

[Daniel]

I am, not til 830 my sweet. x

 

[Tony Hunter]

Oh

 

[mark123]

I just thinking the same about Thruxton.

Found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb_zMVii3vw

Two chicanes and a feather, flat apart from that.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Mmm, maxed out at 122mph for quite a while.

 

[mark123]

You'll crack 130 I'd have thought Tony.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Struggle with 5th as it is.

 

[Jay Payne]

Yea i reckon be a higher top speed than that with our setup

 

[MG cup]

Mans circuit that.

 

[mark123]

Mans circuit that.

You going to pop down?

 

[MG cup]

Ill never be ready for February. Cars just getting painted.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Test day is Feb, race is June.

 

[MG cup]

Ill try but my first race up here is pencilled in for June/July realistically. Doesn't really lend itself to Clio's tbh but you need big gonads to be commited around there. Donnington,Brands and Oulton would be my preferred choices in that order.

130,140mph tail out....hhhhhmmm I'm out.

[BIGASH]

Good order

 

[MG cup]

Good order

I know

It would be Brands, Donington then Oulton if they would open the GP circuit more.

 

[BIGASH]

Yes brands GP is epic
