Rear clip/RHS silencer interference???

[LuckyP]

Just setting about putting together a list of items for attention over the winter.

One of my gripes is interference 'tween back edge of RHS rear can and clip heat mat.

Is it just mine?

Must be just yours. Any chance of seeing you nexy weekend at Vmax? or is the beastie asleep for winter?

[LuckyP]

Not for me this time. Bon chance Emile.

Guess it'll be lonely and cold then!! Very interested to see if I can keep it on the strip let alone keep up with your speeds. God I hope I don't trash it!

Left hand (ouside) lane is fastest as you have the longest radius bend ans can run right upto the grass on the exit. It is a little bumpier off the line though.

Fingies crossed.

Pete, what tyre pressures did you run? and are there obvious braking areas?

I ran 21/24 cold (the tires never heat up so be careful at that bottom bend). Ran high as I though I'd get better stability at speed.

The dampers make the most difference - I ran hard (25/25 clicks)for the first event (for the same reason as above) but found the bottom bend surface unbearable so softened off to 5/10 clicks. No change in high speed stability.

Brakeing zone is set up for 1700kg cars that are goind 180mph. The Ult needs about half their distance so not a problem. You have two options after the beam and timing gear. You cab go straight on (with the agreement of your matched pair) or turn right. Craig will explain.

Braking is easier and more sure footed with a spoiler in place. OK without, but the back moves a little and I was less confident on standing on the brakes (for show!!)

Do call Factory though as they've done a few and gave me a few tips.

Enjoy - and video please!!

I will be attending but in the porker. You can add a lot more rear brake bias at that speed. See you Sunday.
