Youād think heād be chillin. Christian Horner (over the radio): āYou won the championship son. You can relax this weekend.ā - Nope, nada, not having it! From a team standpoint - Theyāve got it all ? Instead they have to watch Max grind from no. 6 his way up the field. As a fan, I canāt wait! So...
Gotta admit that looks cool as shit! Get her on track if she isnāt already⦠great to have a hobby yāall can do together ⤠- Are you close to the Albert Park Circuit?
Buddy was wearing a McLaren Lando shirt this past weekend at the track. Soooooo cool ?
Yeah, heās the last guy you want to push on track. Itās pretty obvious that heās in their head for sure. I wish Lando could do it. Maybe as a future teammate, a mechanical failure, or a Tonya Harding hitman...
I need all you AWE Touring exhaust peeps to talk to my wife. Sheās convinced we must have the ātrackā exhaust for our track car! ? Also, the Touring should be called Track and my Track AWE called Track + (Plus). Trying to help you @Sara/AWE - great customer service from your team as well for a...
That is the way ā- Kudos to you brother! More good years to come for sure. Telling my kids to invest more (25% of their income) and earlier than the wife & I did. Low cost index funds. Tracking keeps me working a bit longer. But I like my job. Which helps.
I track with a guy from Australia. He...
This exactly. Why push it. They are an incredibly successful business.
Another take - Rumors on tracks galore about them increasing their stake in the racing scene. Tons of Toyota money going in. BMW is watching closely. Itās a great marriage they have. Canāt blame them for not ? āing in your...
Certain tires (brands) can differ on my 18s, where I have more issues, in general. Summer tires that arenāt heat cycled properly for example. Then I put the stock wheels and rubber back on and problems solved, lol. So Iām pretty certain itās the tire wear for me. Iām not familiar with winter...
I really thought it would be worse than it was. Allstate and State Farm did a good job on mine. I had to stay on top of them but⦠our cars hold value incredibly well. Itās the time and energy that was the worst part. Hope youāre back on track soon!
I like that they try to make all things equal and give us a time list. About 14:15 in. Itās always this car on better tires would do better⦠Still good video imo but all HEAVY cars ?
If youāre just starting out, stock pads are totally fine. If youāve got over 3-5 track days, those proect muās would be much better than stock pads. Hawk DTC 60/30 (front/rear) are my go to for price performance combo. I gobble them up when Speed Industry or TireRack get them in stock. Some race...
Said this somewhere else but applies here too. The dealer isnāt going to have the time or resources to really dive deeper. Do you know any independent mechanics that can give her a good look over /shakedown? I know you shouldnāt have to spend the money to do this but⦠it sure is nice to have a...
For others, not you, knowing thatās the 1st thing you do is good. Repeat, Iāve switched my front (or rear) right to left and had success if my tire wear is off. Definitely track dependent if more right (or left) hand turns for example. And I know thatās not what the OP is asking as well but just...
Power to weight matters regardless of how sheās propelled. Great point! Iād love to see more hybrids (broken record). Also like how these batteries are getting safer, smaller, lasting longer, charging quicker & hopefully cheaper as well.
When you factor in travel, the car, race team, consumables⦠Sounds about right. There is prize money if really serious. Most the guys I met in MX5 cup could come out even or ahead. But they were in the top positions at Sick Sideways. Now the former owner consults for big race teams or...
Damn brotha! Same happened to me. But she took the hit well. They totaled mine. Gave me over what I paid. Hope the market is still in the same situation in that regard. It is just a car but⦠like you, I really enjoyed it. So, I immediately started searching and found another grey with red...
