State Sprint Series 2015

[Jmoore]

So after seeing a few more antilaggers out on the track yesterday - how did you go?

Very mixed bag of cars out there yesterday, plenty of N/A hondas with B series engine swaps going like stink out there.

Congrats to Matt James-Wallace for taking out the day in his rocket ship that was once a skyline.

[Damo 69]

Was a good day out, still essentially in shake down mode, learn to drive again mode. Times dropped by 8sec across the day so can’t complain. Slowly slowly

Saw you getting the rear end loose whenever you came on boost hahahah

[SimonR32]

First time at a sprint event. Was really good fun and lots of car variety.

Matt JW and I were trading times most of the afternoon until he pulled out of blinder which I only got within 1/2sec on my last run. I was happy with a 2nd place first time out. Might stuggle with some of the tighter stuff coming up.

Got some gopro footage which I'll upload tomorrow

[Damo 69]

haha get any decent shots of it?

[p0630034]

Unfortunately none of your rear end stepping out. Spent too much time admiring cars, not enough time taking photos.

[Brockas]

Just watched the in-car from you Simon. Can't believe how open they made it! Looked awesome and actually seemed like the 32's would be able to open the taps a bit.

[DJDINO]

Nice times from the GTR's, can't wait to get back out there for Rnd 3, maybe.

[Lonewolf]

Awesome event, looked like good value and a real variety of cars and classes.
GTR's were quick.

[Damo 69]

Capri with a nascar motor is the bomb, tocchi should have done that

[SlamDunk]

Outright top 3 took out by "restricted" class. Goodness.

[SimonR32]

Just watched the in-car from you Simon. Can't believe how open they made it! Looked awesome and actually seemed like the 32's would be able to open the taps a bit.

Still fairly tight considering I only used 4th gear in one spot and I could have left it in 3rd with revs to spare. Some of the other tracks looks tighter so it will play into hands of the smaller 4wds

[Lonewolf]

i think its great that they are mixing up the tracks and also the styles, enduro/shootout/speed etc.
Great idea for a series rather than the same thing over and over

[Brockas]

Pity the next one is the RW weekend. Will be there for round 3.

[Jmoore]

damn Simon, just watched your video

a wee bit different to driving the STi!!!

[Nugs]

I should also make it for round three, not a lot of competition in C class.
Shame I missed this one, looks like it would have been the best course for me too :(

[Mike Hunt]

POSSIBLY will make Round 2, likely round 3 here as well..

[SimonR32]

damn Simon, just watched your video

For those that missed it on facebook or want to see the track for the next time it's run

Remember that the DO and CO classes etc are setup mostly for Targa. IE no stupid massive turbos etc.

Yeah that morning session was just a touch wet.

yeah, i got caught in one of the showers 1/2 way around the track and got well and truly soaked - made for some good shots though
Pics from the morning session should be up tonight once edited

Awesome photos as always Blake! :)

[Jmoore]

Round 3 is on this weekend, with a current forecast of rain.

Should be good fun.

[Damo 69]

Oh dear, should be interesting

[Jmoore]

When I say wet, this is the current forecast:


Cloudy. Very high (95%) chance of showers. The chance of a thunderstorm. Heavy falls exceeding 50 mm possible. Winds north to northwesterly 25 to 40 km/h turning westerly 25 to 35 km/h during the afternoon.

Bring your snorkel

[SimonR32]

When I say wet, this is the current forecast:



Bring your snorkel

I have almost bald R-comps and almost new AD08R, it will be a gamble either way

[SlamDunk]

I will go with AD08R if its that amount of rain. No way will be worse than 'full slick' A050.

[alba]

I'll be there, rain is my cars worse enemy, so will be a battle getting power down if its heavier than a spit

aka i'm bang in trouble

[Lonewolf]

probably be down taking pics, if you're going to spear off into the armco please avoid the bloke in high vis, i prefer my undies unsoiled.

Or it'll be too wet and i'll stay in bed haha

[Brockas]

lol.... Will leave the GT-R in calculator mode and let it do it's thing!

http://i.imgur.com/0DuMuUc.jpg

[Sensible]

After Targa 2 years ago there in the rain it is going to be interesting

Every apex and a lake on it with rivers running across the skidpans, I haven't checked the entry list to see if my was accepted yet but a 360hp Silvia will be fun if it has

[Damo 69]

quack quack quack will bring my snorkel

[SlamDunk]

the drainage on that track is really bad... I wont be surprised the race will get red flagged most of the time if it's really 50mm heavy fall.

[Damo 69]

chance of them pushing it out a week or just roll with it?

[Lonewolf]

the drainage on that track is really bad... I wont be surprised the race will get red flagged most of the time if it's really 50mm heavy fall.

yeah it rained a little last time i was there, and once theres standing water its pretty much a lake.
Cant see it running to schedule given that its a solid 2 days of rain - first day will soak it through

[Jmoore]

uhhh.

Yeah.

http://i.imgur.com/Qo7n6Yf.png

[Jmoore]

Current response from MC Motorsport:


All events as per normal. An extra drainage channel has been dug to remove standing water from the 'flip-flop'....... It will be a case of driving to the conditions.

[Jazza]

Saw rain was coming so I registered after some slight peer pressure. Should be good fun to have a slide around!

[DISTRBD]

I been trying to convince Will to run due to the rain forcast , Evo had a retune and made 350hp so it might turn 1 in the wet ..

[200MPH]

Harden up people. Bit of rain never hurt, and the place has so much run off, it must be about the safest place to track a car.

Mind you, I once aquaplaned off after the finish once and stopped about 1.5 car lengths away from the barriers at the Southern end.

Anyways, enough from me, who is not man enough to be competing in any case. May try and sneak down there for a quick look in the arvo. Though should be in shed getting car sorted.

[SlamDunk]

I think the major concern is if it worth the money and time to get there on a sunday and race got cancelled after just a 3 min run due to the amount of standing water on the track.

Not NASCAR so why would they call it off due to rain :P

[Lonewolf]

well they did pause it for a while last time it rained after a heavy shower to allow the standing water to clear a bit
If its a constant downpour then who knows.

Unlikely i'll bother with pics, need at least some fine patches to make it worth getting saturated!

[SlamDunk]

Oh yeah they did... and didn't get my 4 runs... quite a few times during the years.

[Damo 69]

improved by 10 sec over the duration of event
didn't die
didn't crash

great success in that weather

[Sensible]

Stayed at home

Much more enjoyable

Didn't drop 4th... SOCK!

[Jmoore]

Think I finished 6th ish in the afternoon?

That was absolutely filthy conditions to drive in.

[Damo 69]

results released yet ?

[Jazza]

I'll be there again next event if it's raining. That was hilarious fun! Awd wet weather drifting should be a sport haha

[Brockas]

Results are here:
http://www.antilag.com/files/2015-WA-Sprint-Championship-Results-Round-3-17-May-2015.pdf

Pretty chuffed to come 1st considering I've never driven the 35 in the wet before (couple of times on the street, that's about it).

Will post up a video shortly. It was pretty sketchy out there. Had a decent moment in 4th on the back straight at about 170km/h. Anyone who thinks these cars drive themselves is on crack...


I'll be there again next event if it's raining. That was hilarious fun! Awd wet weather drifting should be a sport haha
And you came 12th in a lounge chair... non bad!!

[j3rk]

So Jazza went out in his 60yrold business man car, had music pumping and somehow beat several dedicated/highly capable cars... Great effort!

[Jazza]

LOL, I dropped 16 seconds from the first to last run when I stopped drifting the track and being a hoon, I wasn't expecting that :)

[Jmoore]

That OPC does alright in the wet!

[Brockas]

I couldn't believe the time from the Swift. From a distance I thought he cut the chicane at first because he barely slowed down for it, but it was just carrying speed!

[Lonewolf]

yeah its not much of a chicane in a light car, i brake a long way past the markers in the civic

[ALEX.]

Neil's Swift is just an incredible little car. I keep seeing the results and I keep wondering just how it's doing that. Years of development + good driver. It's consistently top 5 at almost any event.

Nice job on #1 Brockas.
I'd've loved to have been out there but alas I own a WRX, and hence some part of the driveline is almost continually broken. Rear diff on this occasion.

[Brockas]

In-car from the 3rd (wettest) run:

<iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sdDvD8q9pYI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[SimonR32]

I checked my logs last night and even with my boost controller turned off and only running 1 bar I didn't use much past 60% throttle on first two runs. Even on my last non torrential raining run I used 100% for about 1sec of the whole run. Was super slippery but good fun!

[Jmoore]

nice mid-corner windscreen wiper maneuver there...

[SimonR32]

Run 2 wetness


http://youtu.be/iYCavYq_cRs

[SimonR32]

Last and fastest run, watch where I cut the corner haha


http://youtu.be/4N2g5WJM4Ro

[Brockas]

Fastest run of the day for me:

[Not so swift]

I couldn't believe the time from the Swift. From a distance I thought he cut the chicane at first because he barely slowed down for it, but it was just carrying speed!

Believe me......I was trying to slow down more for it but the ABS was throwing its arms up in the air and having fits!

Well done to Brockas and Wes James for some fantastic driving in those conditions.

[Miggy]

Info on the swift please! Throw up a showcase thread.

[Jazza]

Not very often new members get much of a welcome and I have never seen a swift owner get taken to that well. Right here is proof that AL cares about performance cars above all else!
+1 for a showcase thread to be made for your car mate.

[joshg123]

Decided at 5pm the night before rain would be fun

Looked at my tyres - Bald from centre to inside on rears. Dont have windows. Wipers dont really do any wiping. Fronts had about 1mm left on them. Was dardy enough to head out

Very very hard to punt a car that normally relies on late braking and corner speed in the wet. Didn't put it in the dirt which was a win but the wind was picking it up and she just gets up on the standing water. I remember hitting limiter in 4th on the back straight, not long after changing to 4th.

Oh and i left my helmet upside down in the rain, twice, so got the soggy head.

[200MPH]

I feel like such a wussbag for not coming down to watch...not only because of weather, but cause had to get some shed time in on getting replacement gearbox mounts made in time for Albany. Well, that sounds like a plausible reason, no?

Well done to all those who braved it.

Edit: Just checked results - pretty mixed up, to be expected I guess, but not that much!

Yeah, your 35 drives itself Paul. That's an impressive amount of wheel work for what normally appear to be a super sorted car!

[Not so swift]

Info on the swift please! Throw up a showcase thread.

I don't even have a showcase thread on any Swift forums! Will see what I can do when I get some time. The wife has been on my back lately saying I spend too much time working on the car, or too much time car blogging. Thats all well and good, but I can't say she spends too much time eating! sheesh!

[Jazza]

Here was my last run.

In that case tell her she spends too much time whinging.

That always goes down well

[Jmoore]

Finally got around to sorting out a video for round 3, been playing around with data integration with my GoPro footage.

Want to move gopro to somewhere nicer on the cage, but far too wet on Sunday to mess around with these sort of things.

[Brockas]

Great pics Blake!! Really good considering the weather.

[Lonewolf]

Thanks, the R35's lines really suit photos.

Its a bit of a conundrum, you like the rain so you get nice action shots of spray and some moody clouds, but ruins the sharpness and the lighting is rubbish.
Certainly glad my camera's are weather sealed, was getting wet even undercover

[Damo 69]

Sent the old man a few photos and videos from the day

“you guys raced in that weather? Shit for brains”

[fatboy247]

I entered but with the weather decided against it (open top car)

Should be there for the next one...

[Jmoore]

Round 4 is coming up on the 28th ... hopefully some drier weather this time?

[Damo 69]

transfer case is fixed so not phased for wet weather either way :P

[Nugs]

I'm going to try and make it to this one.

[Not so swift]

Praying for rain, praying for rain!!!

[SimonR32]

Get back from France on the 27th, will be there with some potentially epic jet lag :)

[fatboy247]

Did a bit of a shake down yesterday, unfortunatly on full block wets (understeer city)

Looks like awesome fun

Is the gear indicator off? Or are you actually doing those corners in 1st?

[fatboy247]

Looks like awesome fun

Is the gear indicator off? Or are you actually doing those corners in 1st?

No it's right, with the current ratios i have in at the moment it will do about 95kph in first...

With slick on it will more than likely be second gear corners....

[Sensible]

Beau did you happen to get any other ratios for the quaife transaxle when you bought the car? Or even the tool needed to change the gears?

[fatboy247]

Beau did you happen to get any other ratios for the quaife transaxle when you bought the car? Or even the tool needed to change the gears?

Yeah mate i did, i have another 2 set of ratios, the ratios are about spot on for Collie and Barbs but RAC is a bit tight, does yours run the same rear end?

[Sensible]

Yeah mine has the same setup

I am looking at either a ratio change to the 2.9 for more top end as I am on the limiter coming down the hill at barbs or I can get a longer 5th and 6th for the Busa box

Just weighing up the cost , the gear from quaife is 500 quid but the tool to change the gear is also the same price, 5th and 6th change will cost about the same by the time I slit the cases to rebuild the gearbox

[fatboy247]

You are more than welcome to come see what i have, if one suits i am open to negotiations ;)

[Sensible]

I might take you up on that, I will get the next long track sprint out of the way in August and see how it goes after a couple of other little changes I have made and then make up my mind on which way I want to go.

Are you going to enter the sprint?

[fatboy247]

I think so, but i am going to the states in the next couple of weeks (and going to Collie for a run on Sunday) so the Missus might put her foot down!

I am also starting an engine build, going 1500CC....

[Sensible]

I am entering trying for the 60 second lap time,

The 1500 you are doing is it one of the RPE engines or are you buying the gear yourself and getting it built locally?

[SimonR32]

I'm going to have a crack at a 60 or 59 if I'm feeling YOLO

[Not so swift]

Are you going to enter the sprint?

The game has changed.......gulp :eek:

[Sensible]

No need to worry Neil, Beau and myself got off topic and we're talking about Barbagallo long track for the SES

The way the regs are written for the MC events it excludes us from the event, I think it is to do with insurance for the way they run that the cars have to be road registered (real reason is to keep the GTR owners happy)😜

Pitty because your toy car would probably be very quick without any long straights :p

[fatboy247]

they changed it to road registerable (and mine kinda is as they make them with a compliance plate and it has lights indicator horn etc) so they accept my entry (but i don't think your qualifies unfortunately)

No i am not going RPE engines as they want drug money, i am getting all the gear from Hyabusa zone and having it built here

[Sensible]

I can recommend Tony Flood to screw it together, he has built both mine and dads engines

We went through a few different bike guys and engines didn't last

I was only joking. The car sounds amazing on youtube so I was looking forward to hearing it screaming around in person.

[ALEX.]

Strong field in both AM and PM session so put a last-minute entry in. May as well kill of the old A050's before the new ones go on!
Should be cold but clear weather. Looking forward to it.

[SlamDunk]

definitely one of the shortest and slowest layout on the calendar. Was in 4th gear for about twice... 1 second each time...

Didn't see your name Alex?

[ALEX.]

List was put up before I entered.

Yes it's one of the 'slower' courses but that'll keep the high HP boys at bay :)

[Not so swift]

but that'll keep the high HP boys at bay :)

I am all for anything that keeps the high HP boys at bay! lol

[Not so swift]

Not a good day for me with a sheared driveshaft on the first run.

Congrats to Matt James-Wallace with the fastest run of the day.

[joshg123]

Entered last minute, figured would just go have some fun.

Wrong way'ed my first run after too much hectic commit to the big sweeper across the skidpans

Did a 173 2nd go out - Was pleased with that as Joseph was doing those sorts of times in his civic in the morning session.

174 3rd go out some rubbis driving left my balls back in the tow truck

4th go put it in the drink and lawn after wayyyyy to much banzai entry into the skidpan sweeper - Top of third through there is not going to stop.

Killer day as usual, well done to MJW as usual, we had some gremlins testing on Friday which we overcome and he put down another solid result. We will have some more pace for the next one with a bit of luck.

EDIT - Sorry to hear about the swift N, looked almost like you were just peeling a tyre out of that corner then no more. Chris was saying you were going to pull the box out anyway?

my no balls run

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YISB3u1BOz4&feature=youtu.be

Me neither, car went into limp mode twice in the first run so I packed it up and went home.

[SimonR32]

http://youtu.be/57cbZwiN920

[Brockas]

Great day. Couldn't match Matt/Simon in the dry, but still very happy to come 4th while still running the Continentals.

I'm looking forward to the next enduro round. Was pretty consistent over all 4 runs on Sunday:
2:53.0
2:52.2
2:51.9
2:51.6

Amazing that Matt's last time was a 2:46.5 though. That's just incredibly fast.

[Not so swift]

He is a very smooth driver. Good peddler.

[gtfozza]

Had a blast for my first time out at the sprint series went
the morning session on hard comp semis. Couldn't get any heat into them but it was so much fun sliding most corners.......... but sadly sideways is slow
Oh well I picked up those dtm 17s that where on here for sale.will Chuck some medium or soft compound on for next outing :)


Those gtrs tho so fast nd very well driven good stuff fellas

[Not so swift]

I thought I would post some video from round 5 of the Sprint Series today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzdW-iXALk8

Last round I broke a drive shaft on the first run and was out for the day. Scoring no points I dropped to fourth in the championship.

My first run was the second fastest of the day (up until that point) but still 3 seconds slower than a Birkin S3 (who took out the event today, way faster than anyone else). My second run was third fastest for the afternoon, and my third run was a nightmare. I couldnt remember how many laps I had done and had a momentary lapse of concentration resulting in an off. This gave me the slowest time plus 5 seconds. All runs counted today and that run cost me any championship points so I dropped from fourth to eighth outright. Has been a bad couple of months dropping to 8th, but I am still leading the class so thats ok.

Well done to Gary Thorne in the Birkin S3. He really knows how to get that thing around a track! Congrats to Simon Richards on a great second place and Jamie Lister coming in third and fastest in the morning session. A special mention to Matt James-Wallace on a great ninth place with only rear wheel drive and dropping a cylinder. There was a flurry of activity in the pits trying to solve the misfire but it got the better of everyone and couldnt be fixed.

Matt is leading the championship with Simon one point behind.

[SimonR32]

Last run with A050s well beyond their use by date.

I spot 4th cone wasn't there at the chicane! haha

[SimonR32]

Haha yeah I caught it too late on the first lap but tried to take advantage on the second :)

[200MPH]

Aargh, forgot about this and ended up doing something stupid with my Sunday arvo, painting the house...

Did LOL at your 'coarse language and adult themes' moment there Neil! ifail won't let me watch Simon's lap yet. Thanks Mr Jobs. OK, seen it and it appears you do need some tyres! You going C70 soft or super soft time attack special Z221's at august SES? Just tried new c70 softs at Rallysprint and did like them!

Yep, Gary's Birkin is well sorted, to say the least.

Ok, I got a little bit of video as I was there a little early and the morning session ran a little late. I did have a better quality video camera but it was lost/stolen/misplaced or something. Sorry I couldn't get everyone.

Matt JW's last run. It was a re run because of a timing issue on his first run:

Matt O'Neill, fresh from Targa, only did 2 runs before going to the footy but that was good enough for third fastest:

Nice driving, and car looked super quick as usual.

Well done to Simon Richards, Gary Thorn and Will White. Well done also to Windows 10 (Joseph Hall) for a great finish in a car with no windows. Sympathies to Matt James-Wallace after a week of long hours trying to get the car sorted and a 6am start on race day at the Galvsport workshop with Josh finishing it off, only to have a tyre delaminate. Such a shame.

It looks a lot smoother in the car than it did from the outside Simon! Great car control mate. Almost in a world of hurt trying to back it into the garage on the second lap though lol

Luckily my clutch held up and thanks to Galvsport for expert assistance on the day.

Massive thanks to Andrew at Hyperdrive Motorsport in Malaga who was pulling his hair out all week trying to get my misfire and engine cutting out issues sorted from the last round. Poor guy was on the dyne until 7pm Friday night. Thats dedication for you! And that after pulling out the engine/gearbox, stripping the engine down and fixing the dropped valve in a week between events. He will be glad to see the back of me! lol Wait till I tell him it needs a clutch now lol

Does anybody here actually pull the handbrake for the cone?
2 reasons i didn't do that: firstly try to save some rear rubbers; secondly if i make a mess n point the wrong way, i will be looking like an idiot in front of all the spectators.

My handbrake is USELESS!!! No point even trying

I tried on my last lap and it didn't go so well. Ended up travelling backwards and was 2 seconds slower.

The final round of the 2015 Sprint Series at the RAC track was held today.

Well done to the outright series winner Simon Richards, second place Jamie Lister and Matt James Wallace in third spot. Congrats again to class winner Simon Richards and Matt James-Wallace in third (I think?). Also to Wes James who finished 5th outright and class winner.

Well done guys, some great driving.
