Jimmyflo Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Few clips from my day at oulton park on Tuesday. All filmed with an external active mic, so enjoy the cobra non res . Second session was my quickest I think, had to slow down as the brakes were giving up towards the end of the day. Quote
brillomaster Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 man i miss the sound of my zed! looks great fun, hoping to book oulton park in a months time, hopefully the weather will still be reasonable. Any problems on the day besides the brakes? Quote
Jimmyflo Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 It's my favourite track . The only issue we had was the battery came loose and one of the terminals came off. Car was faultless, hardest I've pushed it yet, unfortunately you can't hear any tyre noise over the exhaust on the vids. Quote
daveallen1999 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Great video. Oulton park is on my to do list. Cobra sounded awesome. Who did you book the track day with ? Quote
brillomaster Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Interesting, just been looking at your laptimes... for the first session across 4 laps I get 2:14, 2:14, 2:13, 2:14, so pretty darn consistent! Second session across 3 laps I get times of 2:18, 2:14, 2:16. We're booked in with Javelin for a months time... so I think our target time will be 2:14, despite around an 80bhp deficit if we can get heat into the tyres we might have a chance, assuming you set those times on normal road tyres.

brillomaster Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) In near freezing damp conditions last year we managed a 2:25 on cheap road tyres, so have to hope that dry conditions and decent tyres gives us another 11 seconds lol This was us last year: Edited October 30, 2015 by brillomaster Quote
Jimmyflo Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Looks like a fun session! Yeah I was on Michelin super sports which are phenomenal in any conditions but track tyres would be faster, I think my brother done a 2:11 so he was a few seconds faster, mainly because he's a lot harder on the brakes.

zxrob Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Cars sounds great Those are pretty consistent laps to I love oulton, done it on my bikes loads of times, 1.58 is my bike best (24 year old 750 kwak with 113 bhp) I'd probably be closer to 2.30 in the 350 as I'm a @*!# driver Rob Quote
Jimmyflo Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Cheers rob, good times by the sounds of it! I'm sure you'd do better than 2:30 in the 350. It's a well sorted, confidence inspirer even on stock suspension etc 1 Quote
