Some Birkett 6Hr Relay Vids - Silv GP - MR2 Roadster

Post by Maxx »

Hardly Big Power :) but was mixing it with some of 'em.

Decided my shoulder might stand up to doing the Birkett, it did but circumstances meant my longest run was only 40mins, had the EFI fuse blow 3 times! and had to be recovered, only did 13 flying laps :( They couldn't find the problem although suspected the fuel pump was on the way out - as this is IN the tank on the Roadster there was nothing that could be done. I did ask if a higher rated fuse could be used and was asked to choose between exploding in a ball of flames or cutting out on track .... I chose the later.

Anwyay, a few vids for you race action fans.

A quick 80 sec flavor of the Birkett for those wanting a quick fix (70 cars on track, ranging from 50s classics to modern Radicals/Sakers and everthing in between).

Interesting first lap (lock stop drift)

2nd stint with fastest ever MR2 Roadster lap in it (by 1.5 secs) and demo'ing the latest dash4 firmware from Race Technology (explanation vid linked in comments for those interested)

Nice videos Maxx. Looks like a lot of fun and some close racing with the blue MR2. The Race Technology one is very interesting indeed, although I spent more time looking at the data rather than the video footage.
