Track Days/Motorsport

This is fantastic - the first Can-Am race, St Jovite 1966, won by John Surtees from Bruce McLaren.

 

I'm offended by the video. It portrayed women as sex objects.

I think they call them sex objects because they always object to having sex with me.

 

Hard to argue with that logic!

I may not have matching luggage and a spare wheel, but I have just found an original tacho for my March, with the distinctive green face used on 1985 and 86 cars only. Current tacho works fine but aggravates my OCD

no Redline???

 

80's Cosworth cars don't have a redline or tell-tale, I guess because of the electric rev limiter.

See how 10,000 is at the 12 o-clock position? That's when you change gear, unless you really, really want to overtake someone

 

It's out of an 80s Lambo

 

you'll upset the 80s Lambo owners by saying that - early Lambos famously used Stuart Warner guages.

 

Very cool, and it goes over “11”!

Hey Ian your the only person I’ve met who owns a car of this kind, I have to ask the question, what does it feel like at 10,000 rpm in any gear ? Physically

It’s nerve wracking being near one in the Pitts when they take off, it must have taken some time to get used to it mentally and physically

the acceleration is violent, the noise is painful (very bad mistake for me if I forget to put earplugs in) and the revs build so quickly you struggle to keep up with the gear changes, especially in the lower gears. I love it

The car has a bit over 1hp per Kg, so imagine your 360 with 1500hp.

 

That is exactly what I wanted to hear ,excellent reply thanks Ian, Wow!
Well it will never get old

the first time I was strapped into an Indy car and the engine started, I had a near panic attack - the vibration, noise and smell makes you think it's all about to explode. Fortunately, I stalled it 20 seconds later

 

Well your brave I just wince every time I see the things start up always curious what with the heat noise physical distress how you cope

Not so brave You're so pumped with adrenalin, you don't notice the heat or the huge physical efforts - until the end of a race, when you're suit is soaked through with sweat and arms and legs feel like jelly.

That’s heavy, everything around you must seem slow afterwards because your used to functioning at such an elevated level It must be a strange reality for a while after a race
