Yiannis' Albi Blue R27 - Toning down...

[TB Rich]

Nice, sounds good but I can't get used to 60fps vids! Looks too eerie to me!
What did you mount the camera on though as it's a decent angle to have some of the interior and driver (my mount is on top of the clock binnacle and makes everything look so boring).

Clamp mount mate and I clamp it on the recaro I used to have a suction mount which I would mount on the passenger's window but the A-pillar was in the way.

Ah Bedford. I have very fond memories of that track. Though think I prefer the shorter/busy How Fast route the do.

Car looks awesome.

Always enjoy your videos Yiannis, looks like you had a blast.

One of these type of things, the clamp that is?

Cheers guys

I agree Martin, even though I've never done how fast but from the videos I've seen the layout is spot on for our cars.

That's the bad boy Rich

Yiannis was nice to meet you on Saturday. Your car looked great! Have ordered a few new goodies that should be delivered this week so I might keep up with you next time we're on the same track!

Bedford Autodrome last Saturday then with mixed weather conditions which always adds to the fun

It had rained the night before so we were met with a very greasy track, however it was around 10C and windy so the track kind of dried out only to rain again. The car performed as expected but it is now in urgent need of service, it will be going to Sean@Jade very soon to check everything out. I could hear some weird noises coming from...somewhere when turning, maybe brake related, really not sure. Quite obvious in the videos so any opinions appreciated.

Quite interesting mix of cars, a clio mk4 cup racer, a 991 GT3, a radical, caterhams, a few track day and everyday clios (and a fellow member in here as well @Big Ben) a renault 5 itb'd (that sounded brilliant) and lots and lots of BMWs as usual. Overall a good day indeed. Not lots of pics (still waiting for Javelin to update some on their website) and only a couple of videos for whoever is bored and want to waste a few minutes.

Great stuff Yiannis, I enjoyed the videos, good driving there! It looks like a really fun track! I hope you get the steering noise sorted out.

If you don't mind me asking, what mileage is the car on now mate? I know you've done a fair few Euro trips so was just curious

 

[Pav]

cool vids Yiannis..always enjoy watching other members tracking their car..

 

[Yiannis197]

Cheers guys
[MENTION=51111]jimmyd81[/MENTION] the car is on 63k mate, considering it's 8 and a half years old it's not bad as far as mileage is concerned.

Nice vids Yiannis!!

Made me chuckle when you were behind that 1 series... Squirming like a bitch in the corners, and you were not really trying lol..

 

[paskov92]

Quality videos Yiannis, hope that noise isn't too annoying to sort out!

Just out of interest how have you mounted your camera? I was planning to make a headrest mount but haven't got round to it yet, is that how yours is?

 

[Flacsi]

@Yianni, great fun at the track, yeah?
pls use the whole width of the track when leaving the corner,there is still plenty of space there!

and when the pads make noise is often because you have not warmed them up properly.

I know right? That guy would not allow me to overtake him for some reason, he even went in the pits without cooling his car at all lol! I run his plates and apparently that was an 130 sport with around 270 bhp, no surprise he would disappear on the straight line.

Rich asked me the same thing mate a few posts earlier funnily enough, there is a link of the mount I use and I clamp it on the recaro

I know mate but sometimes you don't have the entry/exit speed to justify running full wide on the corner, check the silverstone TD when things were different

The RC6s don't make this kind of noise though not even when they are cold, I will still check everything out and report back.

Car sounded great. Happy belated birthday by the way....

Spring cleaning after the TD, removing the wheels and cleaning them inside out, clean and treat the arch liners with some AG product, clean, dry, decontaminate, wash and dry again. Interior to follow and before I know it 6 hours went like that...
