I must say that I take comfort from knowing that all the guys who beat me have got a lot more bhp than I have

"Some say" that those Scoobies are running 300+wkw

Interesting to see the Scoobies caned the Noble M400 which was giving it horns, but maybe got put off by being "wrongly" black flagged... and forgiven. I've got video of that, I'll upload it.

Do you mean Anton? Or did the Noble get flagged as well?

Also, where did you get that image? I checked the results on the cup website but saw nothing o.O

The Noble got black flagged cause they thought it was losing oil, but it wasn't. Here's a video clip.

The image came from the "Michelin Cup ZA" Facebook page.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and being around like minded petrolheads, the event was run well and as much as there was traffic and challenging conditions, it was super fun!

Here's my highlight video, enjoyed every minute of the day

I wonder how the four Scoobie drivers you beat are feeling?

Nice vid Shiren.

Tip: turn the headrest to face backwards so your helmet doesnt hit it or you dont have to keep tilting your head forward. It was designed with this in mind.

@FT_86_SM_GP - I enjoyed your video too.
It shows inside the car very well, but the glare on the windsceen hampers the view outside a bit.
Guess one can't have the best of both worlds in one shot.
I've never video'd myself driving. I think I'd hate to see that

Oh, I've said this before...
I still hate your analog g-force indicator which hangs from your mirror.

Doesn't it distract you?
Ignore me - it's uniquely you and it's cool

I saw the pics of your car on FB. It looked stunning on the day.
Ruben, yours did too.
I have no hope of having a clean car at the track after driving up.
It's always malalapipe by the time I get there

Well done again, you drove like a star!!

Here's my last session on Sunday.
You'll see that I also got frustrated with that Porsche that went off so badly and nearly took Chett out...

It's a big video, about 100Mb/8m23

Thanks!

The standard spec doesn't have the functionality as the High Spec with regards to tilting it back,

But I will try facing it backwards!

BTW your 86 looked beautiful on track! in its natural habitat!

Neither does the High Spec. You have to physically remove the headrest and turn it around. It makes a huge difference when wearing a helmet.

Die$eL · 03-11-2016, 02:00 AM

Shaun is correct. You have to take it off completely and put it back facing the wrong way.

LostSalad · 03-14-2016, 05:00 PM

So is anyone else getting confused with these dates, or is it just me? The dates and locations on the website calendar don't match up with the mailers at all?

I've already put in a bunch of leave... want to make sure before I recall it.

It's your competitors feeding you disinformation so that you don't show up for the events.
