Faraz’s track build

[a90.faz]

Hello folks,

I am putting together a new build thread for my V2 time attack and track focused build to track progress and get helpful tips/pointers

I started tracking the car last season (our seasons here in Dubai are in the winters) and I really did enjoy the heck out of it. So I did more of it and have decided to go all in, improve my driving and the car with the hopes of setting a competitive time in our local time attack leagues.

Going to be meticulous in my detail. Latest state of the car:

My latest best times:
Dubai Autodrome (home track):

These times are nowhere near competitive but hoping to improve with more seat time

And huge shoutout to @TBK for all the help as I navigate this sport.

Also, some aero goodies coming in the next month. Can’t wait!

Ayy let's go. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves into a proper track weapon

Bunch of Verus parts arrived as well as hood vent from @rwense

Going to get installed in early January with the rest of the aero

Also replacing the rubber spacers on the Ohlins in an attempt to solve grinding noise from the springs.

Small updates before track day today:

• Removed roll cage (-20kgs)
• Re aligned the car
  • Changed toe: mainly to combat breaking and high speed instability. Might go down to 0.1° or 0° depending on how today goes
    • F: -0.2° -> +0.2°
    • R: +0.4° -> +0.2°

You have toe IN not OUT in the rear right?

Yeah I'm sure his rear is toe in. But I think the changes he's made there work opposite to what he's trying to achieve.

@a90.faz if you went from +0.4 to +0.2 toe in the rear, you're getting less stability not more, in favor of more rotation. More rear end wiggling under braking, not less.

I like +0.2 on the rear, that's what I run as well, but I think you got there for the wrong reasons.

That said, let's hear how your track day went last evening with these settings.

I would have kept the toe out at the front for track driving.
