Speed Season 2006

Vid of Peter and a driver I never got the chance to meet in an R5 Turbo

Got the water-wetter yet Peter ?

Weren't we supposed to have an EDIT button for our posts ?

Needed when having a "senior moment" and forgetting to include links

here it is ....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tyKdsXQJmA

Link not working for me.

'The addition of Radiator Relief to your coolant system will reduce operating temperatures by as much as 30°F. 2) Radiator Relief will also provide a 50% quicker warm-up time to operating temperature'

Clever stuff that!

When it wants to it absorbs lots of heat and makes your engine run 30F cooler, yet on the other hand, it will alter all known physics and not absorb heat so your engine heats up 50% quicker!

You can't add anything to water to make raise its specific heat capacity (ability to absorb heat) apart from Ammonia or Hydrogen.

All these 'water wetter's do is break down the surface tension so any air trapped in the water is released, so in theory, its more 'dense' and has a greater 'surface area'.

VERY Clever stuff that!

This is me at Werrington Park hillclimb in Cornwall... pass the pasties.

Got a feeling it is a huge photo, sorry, I have no idea how to make it smaller...
And for some reason can't make it appear here either..... Duh!

I'm very pleased with it.
I have the same factual reservations about it warming up, but my imagination must be good because it really does feel like it warms up quicker....

Nice Pic,

what tyres you running on the rear? 225 or 245

Neat! I take it thats a 6ft wall to your left??? Ive not actually heard much about that course....how long is it and what kind of layout?

Rear tyres are 225's... way too much neg camber (tho it doesn't look like it in the pic) for hillclimbs, there so little grip off the line.
Track is in a 'stately home' near Launceston, Start runs into a fast RH corner and up the first par of the hill which is a continuous crest so you can never quite see whats coming until you get to ... a cattle grid (nice) with about a 10 foot wide opening which at 90-100mph is horrifying.
Then a series of blind fast chicanes around some walls/barns and trees and another long uphill straight with one flat chicane half way up. 1250 yds. I managed 43 seconds. The fasted westfield in my class was doing a 39...

sounds good, maybe an onboard camera in the future?

Its good to see more people on here doing proper, competetive racing.

Oh yes, 1 competative outing and now I've got the engine out.
The Passion of being an Alpine owner!
It can only get better from here on in.
