Brown pants moment on the first video. Nice save!

Good first lap. Easy to tell that the track conditions were far from ideal but managed to keep a good pace. The guy in front has a couple of moments but his car was faster.

What camera do you use? Good quality, especially the sound.

It's always less spectacular on camera than in real life. Almost crapped myself indeed, not because of fear of getting hurt, but because of fear of wrecking the car on its first track outing lol... Got a bit overconfident after two uneventful laps in the wet.
I still use my good old Gopro Hero 3 with battery bacpac and frame housing - this way I can record over 1 hour at 720p 60fps and the sound doesn't get snuffed by the waterproof housing

If there's any space tonight is there a chance you could send RagingRhinoNC an invite?

Is this information any use to you @IBZ6L20VT ?

Mainly thinking of the violent calibration and floaty ffb

What's a fan? My psu sits happily on the floor.

Sounds like you may have got something loose in your shaft DD!

It is almost always heat that does for this wheel. You'd think TM would have redesigned the psu, the fan, the case or something by now.

 

[IBZ6L20VT]

Thanks for the interest guys, at least I know what’s wrong with the wheel thanks to @rj5992

I always had the fan on at all times since day one, as when I did research for which wheel to buy, I knew that these suffer from heat. I have also always kept my FFB volume low to prevent high temps.

It seems that even though I took any measure on my side to prevent this to happen, it happened anyway.

I will never buy a Thrustmaster product again. My Logitech wheel lasted much longer and had a ‘harder’ life.

Below a few shots from Brands Hatch - I attended the Test Day on Friday and Race Day on Saturday.

Below - the fastest cars racing at this meeting (in terms of lap times) were the Classic Clubmans Classes CSP1 (up to 2 litre) and CSP2 (1600cc). They are unbelievably rapid!

Most powerful cars were in the Thunder & BOSS Series.

Above Nissan Skyline had been converted to RWD to comply with rules and was very loud. Mini had a custom 16 valve head grafted onto what looked like an A Series cylinder block - was very quick - faster than a 3 litre Sierra! Number 50 Holden Commodore in period livery looked and sounded great.

Sorry sick not going to make it tonight as kitchen renovations started at the Easter weekend are taking long than expected (as they always do!)
PS Sorry I missed Monday night but completely lost track of the days and thought it was sunday

kitchen renovations started at the Easter weekend are taking long than expected

Finished by Christmas?

 

[beachboy6658]

If it isn't, I will be!!!!

 

[IfAndOr]

If it isn't, I will be!!!!

You'll be cast out into your man shed!

...Although thinking about it that might not be so bad. Anyway you don't want to go rushing a job.

 

[beachboy6658]

Funny you should say that,but actually I do want to rush this job,because my next job is a new totally dedicated sim racing shed!!!!My current setup has taken over a shed we have next to the patio,which housed a TV that I would watch loads of motorsport, cycling, football on through the summer when the weather permitted. Thankfully my long suffering better half has allowed me to pinch another bit of our ever decreasing lawn for ANOTHER shed!!

That sounds awesome! Keep us updated with your progress, I'd love to see it

Ah I see. Cunning, a new kitchen in return for a new shed. And less grass to cut!

Hurry up then, summer's coming. You haven't got time to be sitting there typing.

 

[beachboy6658]

LOL.Brilliant! Thought that when I put the brush down to reply!!!

Hi all, apologies for my absences lately. I'll probably sit tonight out again but hope to be back in regular action for the next series. @Sick Cylinder any clues as to what it might be...?!

Vintage NASCAR on Mondays and Vintage Indycar on Wednesdays

Correct - but don't panic if you are not a fan of those as the next series are very short - just a taster to herald the real life Indy 500 which will be held shortly.

 

[Harsk100]

Not attending, sorry.
