Sonoma - 86 Challenge Round 9 - 1:56.150
We enjoyed perfect weather for Round 9 of 86 Challenge and I was able to best my previous time by almost 2 seconds. Stock Class competition was fierce and I’ve got work to do to get back on the podium!
I also tried out Ray-Ban Meta glasses for onboards. Mini review: they only take 3-minute videos, so it’s pretty limiting for on-track action, but it’s as close as you can get with off-the-shelf products to the F1 style driver’s eye view. Unfortunately, it’s a little tight under my helmet and gives me a headache. Overall, it’s a fun-if expensive-experiment.

    I think that pressure problem is bc the way the oil sits in the oil pan. seems like the problem happens every time you're going over a crest or a bump. maybe when the gravity is not pushing the oil down it makes a bubble in the oil pickup.

    Flat oil pan test? Old School but good... Maybe It's the solution If the fishing range is the problem. The anti-shaking barrier only works if the sump is low enough, I could advise you to look for the solution in the boxer engines of the alfa romeo 33, in itself the FA20-24 is just the evolution, but even that engine has the same problem if you ride on the track or mountain passes, in addition the boxer engine is quite famous for getting drunk or for filling the oil passages after years ... In my opinion it is solved a lot with a flat and anti-shake cup with The floating panel, however, because it is fixed can still keep the part empty. At least I had done xpsibe I had solved the problem. Old solutions that still work well today, that was also used on BMWs. 😉 It seems to me that in any case in the race the pressure was constant ... Perhaps also due to the temperature?

      I noticed a little understeer which I attributed to the aero balance, so maybe it's because the avg speed of the right-hand corners tends to be higher at BW and that would accentuate the aero balance even more.

    • @404nobrakes
      @404nobrakes 2 місяці тому

      The BRZ is a bit more understeery than the GR86. Stiffening up the rear by transplanting GR86 parts gives you a more neutral balance and less body roll - double win. The fastest stock class car around sonoma is a brz with a GR86 rear sway bar.

    • @900BRZ
      @900BRZ 2 місяці тому

      Yeah, it’s what @404nobrakes said. In 86 Challenge Stock Class, we can swap to other factory parts, so I wanted to experiment with reducing some understeer by making the rear end stiffer. Also, with the GR86 spring rate, the ride frequency is slightly higher than the front, which is called “flat ride” vs the “pitch ride” in the BRZ. The idea is the rear has to have a slightly faster rate to settle at the same time as the front when hitting a bump, otherwise the car will pitch up as the front reacts, then back down as the rear reacts.

    Interesting moment at 6:45 where you wound up the steering wheel to the left too much during the recovery (~180º, should have stopped at ~90º), and the oversteer briefly turned into understeer and then the front "grabbed" and pulled you into the corner.

    Pro tip: after you slid the car at 2:35, the RR tire was overheated, so you could have anticipated oversteer in 3:08, and take T1 more conservatively

      Yeah interesting. I was carrying a but more slip angle and it was the second of two consecutive hot laps so probably would have made sense to be more conservative there anyway. Interesting point about having a little buffer of recent corners to take as input into the next corner.

      @@900BRZ If you have LFS, try driving the XRT and/or FXO cars for 10 hot laps in a row while watching tire temps (F9). After just a few laps you'll need to start managing the outside tires. I did a bunch (hundreds?) sprint races in those cars, it was an eye opening experience. Wish it was as easy to monitor tire surface temperatures IRL!

    Your engine setup sounds insane dude. 🤯 Revs significantly smoother and faster than mine. 😮

      I think most of that is just from the dual mic setup with one in the engine bay. You get a lot more intake sound this way.

    Glad to see you are having Verus design a prototype truncated sump. You will be needing 2 more returns from the cam covers as too much oil stays in the heads during operation. Need to make a different header so there is more clearance for the lower portion of the truncated sump. Your data is looking much better with the new sump.

      For higher grip setups/faster pace we will still have pressure drops with this pan, but it’s significantly improved from the factory setup. I would love to try oil returns from the cam covers. Painfully aware of the poor drainback performance 🫠

    Hey man. Why do you use Mobil1 0W40? Thanks

    • @900BRZ
      @900BRZ 3 місяці тому

      TL;DR: The newish API SP formulation is cheap, readily available, >=3.5 HTHS, full synthetic, reasonable shear tolerance. At times I was doing only a single track day on a fill due to testing different parts so I needed to find a cheaper alternative to options like Motul.

      @@900BRZ Makes sense. I used older mobil1 0w40 European car formula for same reasons but spun rod bearing in two separate 4AGE silvertops during races. Could be oil starvation in fast turns + high revs - but I have doubts regarding racing with Mobil1 0w40 since then.

    Man I really want a video like this but with the gear change warning sound turned ON. Also, did your windshield break? Was it a rock or something? Really interested about some news on the oil pan.

    • @900BRZ
      @900BRZ 3 місяці тому

      With a mic in the engine bay and one on the rear bumper, you can’t hear anything inside the cabin. I’ve thought about adding a third mic but then you need off camera sound recording. I actually had a Zoom recorder mounted on the windshield in my Buttonwillow video but there was too much wind noise for it to be usable. Windshield broke from a rock or something. It’s not in my vision on track so I haven’t replaced it yet. News hopefully coming soon! I just need time to make another deep dive.
