I use Endless cc-Rg.
I assume you did a couple of trackdays when your OEM pads lastet only 2k?
OEM are cheap and good but don‘t live that long.

It‘s always a compromise. 😉

Thanks, yes couple of trackdays. I have no complaints at all from the standard set up as I was really impressed, I’ll look into the end and also upgrade my line and fluid 👍🏼
 
Today we made a custom bracket for the OMP Racing fire extinguisher.
We need this fire extinguisher to compete in the TimeAttack Germany next weekend at Zandvoort.

Weirdly, my dealer supplied a fire extinguisher with my car. No idea why. Maybe they expect it to explode. They didn’t even mount it.

Anybody want a fire extinguisher? 😂

New Video about how we isolated our exhaust and why you should maybe do the same.


One reason not to do exhaust wrap near diff on a car used year round is the possible capture of salt from roads during winter, accelerating corrosion of the exhaust under the wrap. You think this coating will help prevent this @Phil1291?
 
Nice work. Coatings/wraps/blankets also help hugely in speeding up cat light-off so it’s better for the environment too 😁
 
Propper motorsport black ceramic coating inside and out plus DEI black titanium wrap is the way :cool:
 
TimeAttack Germany Round 1 @ CM.com Circuit Zandvoort

It was an absolutely amazing weekend.

Saturday:
After a 850km / 10 hour trip to Zandvoort on Saturday we got a first look at the Track and prepare the pitbox and the car.
We got a last second delivery from MT - Carbon which supplied us their gorgeous, and obviously, very light carbon fiber bonnet. 😍

Sunday:
We got 3x30min Sessions in the morning and with the help of our friends from HRNSHN-Racing.de, who know the track pretty well i could improve my laptimes from 2:06min to 2:03min.
Than we installed the light Weds Wheels with new AR-1 for the 20min Qualy Run in the Afternoon.
With light wheels and new tires my times dropped to 2:00.697min which put us in 3rd place and got us a fighting chance for the Final Shootout.

In the Final i improved to 2:00.532min which put us in 2nd place, just 0.4s in front of 3rd.
Not bad for our first event with the new car on a track we never drove before. It‘s also so much fun to drive on this track. With the Elevation and banked corners it‘s one of a kind.

The car worked perfectly. Not a single issue.
Brakes are spot on and suspension is magnificent. The car needs just a bit more power. 😁
Impressive little beast.

Thanks a lot to my Partner/Mechanic Thomas from HBP Garage and our partners:

Congratulations, that’s an impressive result.

The wheels seem to make a staggering difference. Or was part of that just you getting to know the track better.?

Definitely both.
Wheels/tires made maybe 2s, the rest was knowing where to drive and getting more confidence in the car. 😁
And it was still far from a perfect lap.
Had some good sectio s but also some parts where i could improve a lot.
 
What was the tiresize of the AR-1? I think i remember from one your videos that your WED`s are 18"x8,5.
So i guess it was 235mm? What do you think about this Size? Do you think it is a good tire size even if you increase
power to around 320 hp?

We used 8,5x18“ ET35 with 235/40 CUP 2 for training and 9,5x18“ ET45 with 255/35/18 Nankang AR-1 for qualy and final.

235 perfect for road use, 255 for track use.
