Curborough HSA Sprint in the 350z (2 lap and figure 8 layouts) October 2024
Переглядів 2483 місяці тому
Back to Curborough for the third time this year. These were the final rounds of the HSA Championship on 5th and 6th October. Saturday was the 2-lap course, a new PB of 65.03 resulted in a 4th in class finish. Sunday was on the Figure of 8 course and less than ideal conditions meant good times were not achievable, best of 66.81 but good enough to win the class. Still time on the table in both fo...

A return to Blyton for the second time this year. Rounds of the Barc Speed Championship and Nottingham Speed Championship. On Saturday I tackled the Eastern Circuit whilst Sunday was on the Outer Circuit. Weather was good, but I had clutch problems niggling me throughout the weekend which was a challenge. Never the less, best times of 77.15 and 72.68 secs were good enough for 1st in class Satur...

Back to my local favourite hill climb for the only time this year. It was 2 rounds of the BARC Speed Championship. Saturday was mainly dry but dissapointingly my times were way off previous visits. Sunday was wet so times were a lot slower but had some fun wrestling the car up the hill. Best time of 66.63 and 72.40 for each day.
Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Rapid De-Con Wheel Cleaner
Переглядів 3116 місяців тому
Available from Halfords and many other high street/online shops. I have been using this to get rid of the brake dust from my track wheels for the last couple of years. Does as fantastic job as the video shows going to work almost instantly. Points to note: wheels were ceramic coated at start of year, about 15 track days ago. I always keep the wheels clean so there is minimal road grime, just ma...

Mallory Park Sprint - June 2024 in the 350Z
Переглядів 2217 місяців тому
My first visit to Mallory Park with the Zed. Perfect conditions on the day. Had to manage the car from overheating as the fans stopped working recently but it held out well and I posted a best time of 84.74 There are still a couple of places I can improve on when I go back in the future which I no doubt will as the organisers have said there will be a full weekend event next year.

Owen Motoring Club were the hosts of the 60th anniversary of the "Graham Hill Sprint" at Curborough. We were running the Figure of 8 track on what turned out to be a great day weather wise. Getting quicker with each run, I managed a 66.62 secs when it mattered most to just pip the HSA target time of 66.71 finishing second in class. Managed to get the Go-Pro settings to my liking now after weeks...

Glorious weather over the weekend provided perfect conditions for a full weekend of Sprinting action at Blyton. Both days were rounds of the NSCC and HSA Championships. Unfortunately, the Saturday footage was no good as i had the GoPro zoomed in and you couldn't see anything so this is just coverage of the Sunday. Finished 1st in class both days.

Tidy driving as usual Glenn. 350Z sounding low and lazy.
Buying your own Christmas present I've done the same 😂 good luck for next year
@@mryam350ypvs1 Thanks, i actually got them a few weeks ago in a black friday deal, they are for the daily driver 3 series
Excellent variety of cars and great viewing point. Going to get myself there next year.
I have been catching up on your videos for this seasons since discovering your channel and am really enjoying it. Thanks for the great videos. Looking forward to following you next year and learning more about the car set up and track.
Thanks Rich
Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
Really good video mate 👍 look forward to next season
Its been great telly. So much work. What the hell ae you going to do all winter?
@@kieranobrien6251 pay the credit card back ready for next year.
I noticed some of those gear changes got snappier as the day went on... your engineer would have been screaming on the radio.
@@kieranobrien6251 its hard to change “normal” when your chasing a tenth of a second but it held out
Another good weekend under the circumstances and a decent season. It's been fun to follow you over the year. It might be interesting to know what cars you are competing against too next year and how they compare. Thanks for the work, roll on next season.
@@podd372 thanks man, i will get round to doing a run through of the car during the winter i think then go into some detail of the class and championships but basically the class i am in is road going 2 wheel drive cars with 2lt+ engines. But because turbo/charged has a multiplyer it covers anything from minis upto the latest porsche. Its probably the most open class there is.
Have you tried to learn to heal and toe on down shifts? May help a tiny bit and definitely make the rear a little smoother.
Yep, tried it in past but because my throttle is mega sensitive with the mapping and i always slam on the brakes last minute, it was too much going on, sometimes if the diff locks up it creates oversteer which actually helps into the corners. All be it not very simpathic to the drive train.
Another great video Glen! We both enjoyed watching it. Some great times, you were on it straight out the gate! Gutted about the deleted time but you know a 76 is there 💪🏼
Thanks both
That was a great watch. We rarely see you get so animated. The competitive nature shining through😂 That last run on sunday was nail biting, really didnt see a 72 in it with all the oversteers and slow changes. Well done.
@@podd372 Thanks, not the tidiest last run but must have carried that bit extra speed through the corners and i smashed over the 2 raised kerbs as fast as i dared.
Great driving on those last runs each day. Heroic stuff given what you were up against all weekend.
cheers, always good to finish with the fastest run, still coulda/woulda/shouda been better on a different day but solid 8/10 like i said in the vid.
Enjoyed that. The new finish line rule is really entertaining for us viewers. Your reaction was gold 😂😂
awesome video
Thks Glen - much to improve in the driving - i believe its a morning practise run seems im half asleep 😀
@@pasabruzzese2139 was timed run after lunch
😂
Great vid. Well done on another win. Punching above your weight as always. I liked that line you took on the right hander on the fast lap.
Very smooth Glen well done. 052s making the difference.
Well held that!
We enjoyed that video Glen. Well done on your class wins, some big slides to catch in the wet! Esmée and Steve
Thanks Both. The head steward's last words at the drivers briefing were "keep the machinery off the greenery" luckily i did, many didn't....
Sounds like you did some emergency weight saving before the weekend!
Eyup Glen. You mention tyres but do not say what you have on. Hope they are not Cup 2's as they take an age to warm up. Not a million miles from Harewood & maybe give the Chimaera a go there, which I have just fitted Toyo proxy T/R & they seem to grip really well. . Given you a sub . Hope you'll do the same. Will keep watching for your video's. Steve.
@@Steviegtr52 currently on Yokohama AD09 they take a while to warm up, prob like the cup 2, i will be going back to the Yokohama A052s they work from the 1st corner and are best 1b tyre for sprinting or hillclimbing currently.
I wish I'd seen this before my runs today. You got the last bend spot on. Great video thanks.
Entertaining, thanks. Might be interesting to see your 64' times on the screen, just to see how each run differs.
I had a look briefly, as i expected i was half a second off in each sector so slower everywhere, just cant power out of each corner in the same way as a grippier tyre. Its honing my driving skills though this year as need to be much more alert.
Car sounds lovely. Nice skills and thank you for the content
I always said a well placed tank-slapper is the quickest way to turn a Zed..
I had the same issue with the fans on my DE I replaced them with Mishimoto not to bad a job
All sorted now, a connector had come loose but not the one you can see.
Some speed you're hitting there on those long bends. Very exciting... eek. Looks like you'd need an aero package for more downforce there :) 😀
That's an excellent performance right there. I thought there was no way you'd find that time in just 2 runs. To be error free on that last run when it counted? That must feel brilliant. I could sense the pain of resisting hitting the pedal out of those slow hairpins.. Well flipping done
Cheers Kieran. Car takes a lot more driving in current form. Need some 30 degree summer days, just waiting for global warming to make an appearence this year...
I used to go here back in 1982, when Hillman Imps were quite popular
And I used to attend in 1965 -68 to watch 'Farmer Smith' from Strensall silently attack the hill in his MkV1 Bentley Spl , subsequently fitted with a later 6.2 litre V8 unit with auto box, from an S2 Bentley /Silver Cloud.
Must have felt brilliant on the Sunday when you took that huge chunk of time off. Obviously the tyres switched on but you drove the hell out of it too. It looked like you really had it by the scruff more than the first day. Definitely slowet in and faster out of those chicanes.
Glad I found your new channel. Did my first sprint at aintree last month. Loved it. You thought about downloading your old stuff from UA-cam and uploading it to your new channel?
Glad you enjoyed the first Sprint, you will get hooked now, I have all my videos saved on the PC, just don’t see point re-uploading them when they are already on youtube, if i could delete the others then ok but i don’t have access to the account anymore, next video should be tomorrow!
Great runs buddy👍🏼 What sprint events are these and how does one enter? Would love to enter my Z when she's done. Not sure she'll keep up with your HR though😂
They are part of a championship. I do several. Its fairly straight forward to get started. Go on motorsport uk website but even better go spectate to a local sprint or hillclimb event and have a chat with people, all very friendly. Always good to see other zeds at events, if you start you will get hooked.
Nice runs and good results 👍
Cheers Andy, well done on your results too!
Great work, looks very different to the live stuff. Fab hill. Id love to,get my car over
Just hit me while watching again (trying to get some memory of the track). Could that partial cut-out be the YAW sensor? Yeah you have TC off but that doesn't turn off, you probably know this. Just some food for thought👍🏼
I have a bypass module wired in that turns everything off so not that. I just think its when low on fuel and under specific g forces. Still better than the oem pump though
Currently buulding my Z DE for the track and can't bloody decide what coilovers to go for.. Can i ask what youre using bud? Im looking at the BC DS true rear coilover series atm, know if theyre any good?
I am on the eibach pro street S. good all rounder but no adjustment for damping/stiffness you can only adjust the height. I didn’t want the temptation to adjust eveything and mess it up but now wish i had full adjustability as it would help at different tracks. Lots of good kits out there, i think it is definitely the case of you get what you pay for, good thing is there are tonnes of options for the Zed. Cant go wrong with KW, Ohlins, meister etc. I think to run a true rear coilover on track you are best if its caged. ie the rear mounts are reinforced somehow. although people say they run them oem no problem, just not sure how much stress they put through the mounts.
😂Yeah man I know exactly what you're talking about. Christ I wish I could afford some KW v3 or ohlins. Got someone lined up to strengthen the areas arpund the rear towers along with popping a strut bar between them. Let pray I don't run into anymore bloody rounded bolts and shagged bushings! Hopefully will get to Cadwell this summer🙏🏼
Good review and analysis. We were running a Clio at the same event and we found the changeable conditions a big challenge. We ran NS2r in practice then switched to A052s for timed runs. Allowing for the conditions and just getting more confident during the meeting - we were 3 seconds quicker on the A052s on the International circuit.
Thanks, yep, A052 the tyre to be on, like i said afterwards, will be interested to see how the new nankang cr-s compare, priced very similar.
Another good one. Looked a bit of a handful on those tyres, especially under braking.
Braking was ok, main difference being you cant ask the ad09s to do 2 things at once (hopefully will get better with temperature)
Awesome video mate. (Absolutely love that your intro pic has me in it! In the hi-vis jacket with the beanie) enjoyed watching you go round in the 350!
I really enjoyed that. That cutting out is frustrating, even for us watching!. All starting to give me the goo to get back out. Cant believe how much you did to the car over the winter, ive barely seen my yoke since october :-)
Cheers pal, i am hoping its just a unique situation for the hesitation but we will find out at Anglesey. Also got the rocker covers replaced over winter which i forgot about all together, common for them to start leaking, need to keep the engine healthy for as long as possible.
Great content. Would love to see a walk around video of the car and engine specs. Would love to hear your thoughts about pads, suspension and tyres. Keep up the good work
Thanks, Yep, will do a walkthrough vid of the car at some point, and my view on things, for what it's worth.
Since Topgear disappeared this is the new Sunday night telly.. love it.
Agreed sir
I've enjoyed your old stuff, looking forward to what 2024 will bring
