Thanks man, I won't! So long as there is a place for them and I can afford to keep doing it by raising sponsors.

Thanks bud.

Thanks man, seems like people like it!

I agree x100

Thanks Rob! I was almsot dead in the arms after the race!

Thanks bud! All good in the hood!

Haha, and my seat was puckered!

Thanks bud!

Thanks bud! Almost!

Thanks bud. Yea all is good, it's one of those things, but because I put out all my videos I have to comment on it to an extent.

It is an issue....

Thanks Graham!

Haha thanks!

Thanks man!

Thanks! Yea just one of those things. Driving with no pas was exhausting and the arm pump was mad. I was dead at the end.

Thanks!

Thanks bud!

Thanks Daniel!

Thanks bud! Was a doozy!

Thanks bud, would of been fine if I didn't loose PAS. navigating traffic at poor points on the track killed the gap I'd built.

@@BenR22Like you said back markers are luck, unfortunately the luck wasn't on your side that race. You'll get the win there soon man. And it'll be interesting to see you race Prebble again now he's joined the Honda clan!

You bet!

Yea, it's fine. Shit happens, judegemt calls are made in hundredths of a second. It's just how you move forward.

Not sure how to take that 😂

Haha. Don't get me wrong Ben, i enjoy all your videos. It's just better to see you battling than being pretty much unchallenged at the front!

@@k20ee96 😂 not winning takes the edge off the drive, but it does help reset at a higher level and progress.

Thanks man, on subsequent checks on the dyno, turns out we were running 226bhp! So 215/ton!

@@BenR22 I guess there’s no comparison between a race and road car. What bhp/tonne class do you run in?

@@jimmyjones5787 well, yes and no. Modern track cars are pretty damn good, only issue is their weight. I was running in the 260/ton class. But my power was down for the first 3rd of the season as my inlet valves weren't closing fully.

@@BenR22 I think you’re 10/11 secs a lap faster around Combe which is mind blowing. Got some MeisterR Clubrace’s to go on, hoping that will see me into the teens with some more seat time. 😀

@@jimmyjones5787 just keep at it bud 👌

Did it satisfy your curiosity? Lol

@@BenR22 sure did! I knew it was unlike you to make contact with anyone. Interesting situation for sure

Haha thanks man! Yea, only finished putting the car together Thursday night. We did OK. Engine dropped onto 3 during the race so the other driver dropped back a lot since it was so hard to drive on a small power band. And yea druids, span trying too hard for that last mph. Also found out we had defective tyres that were slowly leaking through the side wall! I'm rebuilding it now, so it'll be out for Oulton and hopefully Spa.

@@BenR22 Nice mate.

Thanks! It's just a curly cable from an intercom.

Haha! Yea, that wasn't a great help. The temptation to wipe it was so high as I actually carry screen wash... But.... I knew it would make the whole screen worse haha.

Thanks, they sure are! Rack is fine and pump is fine! Done a race since on it. Top tip? Geez.... That's on the spot. Just enjoy yourself and don't out undue pressure on yourself to "perform" on a track day. Combe itself has some trick lines, but for track day use they are a bit aggressive.

Thanks bud. Yea, I had some new springs made for it as well as sorting the lockout solenoid.

Thanks Nick. It's just being courteous. Nobody likes to go off no matter the reason. I'm not here to make enemies in the paddock. If a sorry from me means something to the other driver, I'll say it. If it doesn't, I won't feel any worse for saying it.

Ccrc or 750mc? Ccrc is its own little microcosm of motorsport lol. I think if you watch closely you'll see if brake much deeper than most people, typically threshold until the second apex. I discount the first part of the bobbies and the chicane and only treat it as a boundary for the prevailing left hand corner. I get on the throttle as soon as I'm off the brake and there is no maintenance period. I think you'll see that's how I maintain a strong advantage through the chicanes.

@@BenR22 750MC Ben. Clearly I'm out of touch. I raced in 750MC F4 until mid 90s - when they threw me out of the Club. Your way is clearly working Ben. Club Racing in the UK is fantastic isn't it. There was a "Green Paper" on the future of motorsport from the MSA mid 80s. I read it on a plane to Taiwan! Pretty well the first sentence was "Grass roots racing must be protected at all costs" and, fair play to the MSA, they have. Great video at a great circuit. Good luck.

@@sideshowbob5237 it sure is great. I just wish it got the views, publicity and promotion it needs. Race days should be free entry and then the money made on cencessions inside. Small fair type area for family, food, drinks etc. Make it a place that is a genuine option for a day out for the public.

@@BenR22 Ben, after I finished with Club racing or, more accurately, it finished with me - but 35 years none-the-less - I got back to my second love: model aeroplanes. The British Model Flying Association (BMFA) has about the same number of members as the MSA - about 35000 I think. Believe me the MSA is a paragon of forward thinking and general organisation compared to the BMFA. Silverstone was threatened with losing the GP because of traffic congestion so the Government built them a new road. Cost £10m? Hardly surprising because motorsport brings hundreds of millions of pounds into the Country every year. And yet the MSA have never lost sight of that all-important line in their mid-80's green paper: "Grass roots racing must be protected at all costs". You have ideas for making it better: write to the circuit owners in the off-season. Can't beat the written word. With respect to views and subscriptions I strongly suggest you keep plugging away. KZfaq is a big place now and it must take correspondingly longer to "climb the algorithm". One of the sites I watch regularly now starts with the guy (always) reminding us to hit the "like" button because it is easy to forget and the KZfaq algorithm is strongly "like" driven - apparently. You might consider doing the same. Finally, this is where the BMFA are compared to the MSA: we model aeroplane flyers have been pretty inconvenienced by legislation directed at "drone" flying. The DfT blanked the BMFA for nearly a year - wouldn't even talk to them. Can you imagine the DTI blanking the MSA - at all. Keep posting Ben.

Who knows, took me about 6 visits to start nailing cadwell. It's not a simple track. And class A is looking busy with 6 or 7 entries!

@@BenR22 I had noticed that, they always seem to miss your name off the entry lists though. I'll see you there

@@PescaraProductions I don't enter until last minute. Final instructions are usually posted before that.

It is a 2.4l engine making a fair bit of power

They definitely have lots of experience around combe. Spec wise I don't know enough about either car to comment with any authority. But it's fine, the club keeps a tight rein on bhp/ton levels so I'm sure once they're tested they either make the cut or they don't. All's fair and good around here.

Adam prebble i believe

Thanks Edward 👌 I try work hard at making the chassis the priority. Got some updates coming soon too!

Thanks will!

@@BenR22 no worries, I literally watched all your videos after this. They're so entertaining and really well put together 👍🏼keep it up there great

@@ITSMEWILL awesome! Thanks for the support man!

600cc injectors are too small for 260bhp?

@@BenR22 I'm running 255hp (2147 Toda engine) revving to 10000 with 1000cc Bosch Injectors. Which by the way have the best Spray Pattern out there. Way better power everywhere. I use DW 300 Pump at 63 psi. And yep I win everything to and I race in a Under 3lt Class here. Oh and on 98 Octane. Enjoying your video's but yep you need a little bit power to catch those Pugs but not the wheel spin type of power. The Bosch Injectors will get you on the back of them. Do a re-tune too. There is even more in a re-tune. What ECU you using?

@@scottwyman5014 injectors were free from a sponsor, so they did me fine. My championship is regulated to 260bhp/ton so with more power comes more weight, if you want to stay legal. That grey Peugeot is significantly over the regulated limit to the tune of 310bhp/ton, however he was never caught for some reason. Your fuel ratings in the US are different to ours as we only advertise the Ron at the pump. So an 99 octane fuel here is a 92.5 octane for you. The championship is, or was, designed to prevent people spending money to get to the front. For example my k24 is all stock and costs about £1500. The engine in the Peugeot is about£12,000- £14,000 from what I hear that particular engine builder charges. I hold the lap record at every circuit we've visited since 2017, which is the year I started. The new spec car won't be eligible for the championship I have been doing.

@@BenR22 Righto I see whats going on. Thanks for the info.

Thanks bud, try my best!

This isn't a Civic.
