Mark@Abbey m/s Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) We been back out in the Team Lizard Abbey Motorsport Nissan 350Z in the 2016 Britcar series , our 1st meeting was at Silverstone int he car now fitted with Quaife 69G sequential gearbox , we are now running a Dunlop Slick 265/660 x 18 all round on a 10 x 18in wheel running slicks we quickly found we needed to work more on the brake ducting. Between Silverstone and Oulton Park round we worked on the brake ducts and suspension work, tweaked the set up as well. Oulton we tested on the Friday ready for a Saturday race 2 x 50 min races together with a 20 min warm up and a 30min qualifying. We are are over the limit of the stock Nisan ABS system as we are running way above the grip level Nissan designed into the ABS ECU and the Yaw readings are also way above what Nissan Programmed into the stock ABS ecu , Bosch Motorsport M4 ABS is planed for next year Friday was sent learning the circuit for the car owner Steve Burke and my self working on set up , we changed a few things to make the car more manageable but the weather for Saturday didn't look to good Warm up was dry , I managed to work down to our quickest time , Qualifying start dry but quickly turned wet which was not good for running slicks , Steve managed his qualifying laps on slicks at a very slow pace , we changed the tyres and I run pretty well on the Dunlop wets. Race 1 came Steve started the car rolling start in the rain , it was like a monsoon after 10 mins , the organisers brought out the pace car due to dangerous condition , Steve decided to do our pitstop and I jumped in the car and once the race was started managed to get pass a few cars and had a good few laps playing with some much bigger cars. We are in production class the lowest power/weight ratio so we finish very close to the back of the grid but are having fun. Race 2 was a lot better no pace car but the track started to dry mid race and the Dunlops wets started to go off , we was trying to find standing water to cool them. So we finished 1st in our class but there is only 1 car in our class ;-( but we was racing car in the higher classes , always good fun.

We are trying to get organised to do the last race of the series @ Brands Hatch on the weekend of 12/13th November which is also a night race.
