kevin bryant Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Fancy a day out on Sunday? We've a decent entry at the Three Sisters Race Circuit, Ashton in Makerfield, WN4 8DD on Sunday - see below. Morgan, MG, Lotus and Austins will also be performing along with the usual mix of single seat race cars, saloon cars and the inevitable Caterhams. Viewing is good. Entry is £6 after 9.30am. If you do attend, do come and have a chat to the TR Register competitors, but please not just as we're putting on our helmets / leaving the paddock area. 141 Conrad RAFIQUE, TR6, 1972, 2500, Petrol 142 Martin PAINE, TR6, 1976, 2500, Petrol 143 Hamish ROSCOE, TR3A, 1959, 2288, Petrol 144 Howard HOLDCROFT, TR4, 1963, 2198, Petrol 145 Elizabeth WAKEFIELD, TR3A, 1960, 2198, Petrol 845 Michael JONES, TR3A, 1960, 2198, Petrol 146 Ian PROUT, TR3A, 1960, 2138, Petrol 846 Kev BRYANT, TR3A, 1960, 2138, Petrol 147 Shaun ROCHE, DOLOMITE SPRINT, 1975, 1998, Petrol Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hamish Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 The video as promised. see the description for more info and 3rd party filming credits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelbuilder Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Why is it that most people film with the camera in the vertical position as opposed to landscape, beats me? I am of course not referring to your in car shots Hamish but the 3rd party clip. Rodders. Edited June 14, 2022 by modelbuilder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barkerwilliams Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I found the underbody sequence most interesting, the way the weight shifts to the outer edge of the tyre sets me thinking about my own tyre adhesion in hard cornering coupled with my lowish tyre pressures. Congratulations on a fine result. Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 The tyre pressure has a major affect upon the tyre footprint under cornering forces, and that contributes to the tyre “slip” ( not skid) angles. Maximum grip under straight ahead motoring is compromised massively as soon as the steering input causes side loads to be input to the tyres. That’s why a very coarse way of changing the cars handling can be achieved by increasing or decreasing the tyre pressures. However under competition after the tyre pressures are established at optimum ( no where near the pressures commonly “recommended” by the manufacturers), by measuring the across tyre temperatures, changing the tyre pressures alters the tyre “slip” angles. Which alters the handling but only by decreasing the grip at one end of the car to the other. That can make a car understeer or oversteer whatever the drivers requires. Using road tyres for competition use without increasing the pressures risks “ rolling” the tyre from the rim with the side forces. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
