The Roadster NA Journey Begins

Good luck Mark!

Is there a livestream again this year? If you find out when you'll be on track, let us know so we can watch.

[Magpie]

Will do. There should be a live stream.

Looking at the schedule we will be 7 clubsprint sessions

Managed a 'firsts' today

1. A 01:53.069 which is faster than last years 1:53.692
2. Met Kyle from https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh3tzzP6n5b1EWcMUpiEhXg who gave me some good aero advice. Most forum members would remember this you tube clip... Actually I appreciate Klye's brutal honesty! You can take his advice or leave it, but he knows his 'sh*t'.
   
3. Ran out of fuel on the track When it says that it is empty it really is!

Official WTAC practice tomorrow.

Good luck Magpie, keep bringing those times down!!

Love to be there and cheer you on, but another busted TB has thrown my schedule out. We have a round of the NSW Supersprint Championships there on Sunday, so expecting the circuit to be well rubbered in by then .

If you are not leaving until Sunday, we'd love to see you if you can find some time, and get a firsthand report on how you went!

[Magpie]

AT the moment leaving Sunday. If we can bump out on the Sunday then will have time to catch up.

Out of the owners of the 5 aero mistake cars, one owner built my kitchen, one owner served on a committee with me for 2 years, and one owner officiated at an event with me. Crikey.

That NACA duct looks to be misaligned, I wonder if that really reflects the airflow direction?

Pity that blue car got in the way ...

[Magpie]

Ouch you hurt my limited feelings!

Managed a 1:52.69 so 1 sec faster than last year!

Congrats on the faster time! Shame the live stream was so inconsistent today. Thought it was our connection but the live chat showed everyone had same issues. Hopefully fixed by tomorrow.

Edit: so just turned it on again and looking good. Just about to watch Clubsprint ....

Same here, streaming to the office was choppy and f##ed at lunchtime 1.4k watching so gave up.

Launched the site again and it's much better now 1.3k watching.

Go for it Magpie!

Got a few glimpses of the aforementioned blue photo bomber during the last clubsprint session

[Magpie]

The was another 'short' session. Managed about 12 laps in 4 sessions due to 'issues'. Very expensive laps. To put it into context I used about 20 ltrs of fuel

Had another good chat with Klye about some changes that will improve airflow/downforce without adding drag. It was interesting discussing the challenges of HP limited cars and aero.

WTAC 2017 over. Thanks to the forum members who stopped in to say hi.

Managed a 1:52.216 so happy with the improvement. Have a few changes to make over the next few months thanks to some advice from Kyle.

Waiting for the 2018 entries to open
