DRB GT40 #67 In-car Video Autotest

Some in-car footage of the first competition event for 200MPH. Only managed 3 runs before the alternator decided it would stop charging when hot and make horrible noises! That plus an oil leak (suspected at dipstick insert to front cover) put a premature end to the day's precedings.

Driver is rusty and car needs some more rear end grip! Also a brake bleed as I ran out of time to do that. Was only using 6000 rpm as motor is still fresh and needs a proper tune. Only has dyno break in rough tune presently.

Good news is that data traces show it was holding around 1 - 1.1 G's in the hairpin turns. So some potential there. Just need to learn to transition onto throttle more smoothly so as not to throw it sideways, though it is fun!

Looks like a bit of fun there :thumbsup: --and a great way to get aquainted with the beast. Motor sounds sweet !
Appears to be a bit of axle tramp and diff wind up -- probably need to look at the engine / gearbox mounts.

P.S. don't worry about the gearbox as I have one reserved for you :laugh:
