What it Actually Takes to Race a $500 Car for 24 Hours!

At last year's endurance race, we failed badly blowing up our engine in only 15 laps... This year, the ChrisFix Soapy Wooder Racers are ready for their comeback! We spent a year rebuilding and swapping a junkyard motor into the car and fixing tons of small broken parts to make our endurance lemon BMW ready to race for 14hrs. Will we last more than 15 laps? Will the engine blow up again? Can we make it to the finish line after 14hrs of racing? Find out!

At a guess, the lightweight Miata believed they could outbreak the BMW and get onto the inside line, forcing you to the outside. Having said that, from the rear footage it looks as though the BMW had already started turning meaning the Miata had to leave space rather than crossing your racing line.

Advices for the pit stops: The driver that is going to step in should be already prepared before the car even enters the pit lane. As for the fuel, try fitting a transparent fuel tank with a bigger refill hole and use more powerful pumps. Every 3 hours check the brakes, especially the pads, brake fluid check is also advised. During repairs (like the throttle thing) check tire's pressure and adjust it. Advices in general: Try to not rev the car at its maximum, keep it 2k rpm lower than red line. Do some lift and coast to preserve fuel and in medium - high speed corners try to stay lower on rmps to use less fuel as possible

@LiamDennehy Жыл бұрын

I disagree, I think the Miata is just able to brake much later being so light, so even though it seems the BMW is ahead at the start of the turn the Miata is alongside in the corner. Not blaming the BMW driver, but these two cars have vastly different performance.

@bradmaas6875 Жыл бұрын

@@LiamDennehy I agree 100% with the Miata being able to brake later, IMO he dove in too late. If he had been alongside (at least front wheel to front door) before turn in, that would have been fine, BMW would/should have given him space. But in this case BMW should have gotten right of way, BMW was faster, the pass was going to happen anyways. Don't get me wrong I like so aggressive racing but I don't think it was appropriate for this kind of race.

@FullAssRacing Жыл бұрын

Yeah... the BMW had that line and the miata was living in the vortex of danger. In the Miata's defense... I suppose it's possible he had a mechanical issue such as brake fade. At the end of the race a good bit of the cars are having some form of issue or another.

@@chrisfix we also use magnets for the right shoulder strap to attach up to the rollbar next to the rearview mirror. Additionally a Velcro plate fixed up to the top of the rollbar as a failsafe. The surgical tube gets fixed to the left lap belt, crotch belt and another on the right lap belt to pull it back and out of the way as soon as the driver unlatches the belts it will pull them out of the way.

Agree - the MX5 (sorry, Brit here 😁) was in the wrong, you had the corner by a mile. Ultimately, though, just a racing accident. I do feel it was deeply unfair that you had to take a "4 wheels off the track + collision" penalty for something that a) wasn't your fault, and b) the driver at the time was doing the sensible thing & checking the car was still driveable before returning to the track. IMHO Lemons should look at a rule change there.

@TheCarDemotic Жыл бұрын

@@theelectricmonk3909 Yeah that penalty isn’t deserved in my opinion. For something that’s not your fault and for ensuring the safety of yourself and the fellow drivers I think the 10-20 second time loss from going off track is more than sufficient. Rules are rules though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ondrejnejeschleba6278 Жыл бұрын

i am not sure by that - i understand both. The BMW lifted way too early with having a car this close behind them. I know it's an endurance race, but still, you've got to expect that if you lift off that early in a corner with someone not that far back, they might send it. But yeah, the miata was a lot slower anyway and they would probably get passed on the first opportunity, so it was very unnecessary by them.

@Chrisfix I am a local driving instructor for people trying to learn proper racing etiquette, racing line, and car control. You guys did well, and the red Miata incident was due to that car braking too late and missing the racing line. He went inside and had about 5 mph too much speed. Once he missed the braking point he couldn't do anything about it. The car couldn't hold that inside line with the available grip, so as soon as he hit the rumble strip it unloaded that side of the suspension slightly. That put to much stress on the outer front tire and he understeered into you guys.

If you would like to change for a better oil for the engine, go with LIQUI MOLY. There’s a specific one that is gray and has like specific inhibitors in them that not only will it very well coat the cylinder walls, it’ll help with preventing unnecessary wear from rod bearings as well. A buddy of mine ran the same oil in his E36 M3 when he was running laps at the fairgrounds that day and when he did a full tune up on it, along with changing a few gaskets here and there including the valve cover gasket, the inside of the motor was bright silver. Not a single speck of brown tarnish on it.

Track Addict has a feature where you can set pit speeds, and it will flash/yell at you when you are exceeding it - a good reminder for when you pit while being too excited :) Awesome video, awesome time, thanks for posting! Oh, regarding the rear contact with the red Miata, IMO, it was his fault, not your guys. It's always the responsibility of the overtaking car to ensure a safe and clean pass. Your guy did that in the straight, just before corner entry, with a good gap. The Miata essentially tried to late-brake you guys, but you were already cutting in toward the apex. Typically, if the other car was alongside your guy BEFORE the corner entry, then you would have had to give him the inside or else make contact. He tried to get alongside you by late-braking too close to comer entry IMO. At that point, he was attempting a pass, and failed to ensure it happened safely and cleanly. He either went in a little too hot, wasn't paying attention, or was pissed at getting passed.

About the Miata accident: you guys were ahead and completed the overtake, meaning there weren't any battles going on into the turn. The Miata was in the wrong, as his braking point was very late (my guess, idk if that's his normal BP) and probably focused on the BMW overtaking hin instead of his line and Breaking point.

@argenisbonilla514 Жыл бұрын

Awesome race guys! You all were very close lap times, good driver roster there. The accident: There is no track where the red car could’ve make the turn at that speed, his braking point was to short, there was no way he could make the apex in the inside line at that speed. What your driver could have done is to leave the room at the apex or look at his side mirror before turning onto the apex. Those are hard because could’ve been also that the other driver didn’t know the limit of his car. Probably not even a wide line would’ve avoided the accident. Either way awesome job!

@DJAulix Жыл бұрын

To be honest, the crash with the red miata was completely the miata's fault. Bmw was on the raceline and way in front while entering the corner, the miata driver should've known that he couldn't make that corner, while approaching a corner with 2 cars, the one in front whilst entering has the right to stay on the raceline, the other driver HAS to brake and leave space

I couldn't agree more. Solid analysis. In more stricter rules of racing, the red car would've been called in for a penalty if stewards were present to perform a live analysis and deem the driver of the red car at fault.
