After 8 years, I'm finally calling it a day and will be ending my Motorsport Chapter in Perth and beginning a new one in Singapore as I relocate back for work. In the last couple of years I have been competing predominantly in Tarmac Rallies, Hill Climbs, a few Time Attacks, Circuit Racings...

Re: pls recommend me a tire PSS wasn't available at the time. When my stock michelins were bald from hooning, I was quoted $4000aud for a set. RE11 works out cheaper for me from tirerack at about $1700aud landed. I'd say give the PSS a try and let us know. The interesting thing was...

Re: pls recommend me a tire RE11 instantly knocked 1.5+ sec off stock Michelins. Same track, dry, but RE11 ran at least 15 deg colder ambient temp.

Re: 2011 Formula One!!! I'm not sure if it was Redbull communication break down but instructions from them was to stay out if Massa pits and pit if Massa Stayed out. Vettel did the opposite and came up on top. Awesome. Its amazing how much F1 drivers think in advance before overtaking.

Re: BMW M3 DTM Concept is super EVIL BADASS I see they've replaced the aerodynamic fins on the rear bumper for something else. Would like to know how they channel the air flow out. Good to see BMW back in the game.

Re: E92/90 Performance Exhaust Did you hear it on Cold Start or Fly By ? Cold start can be very loud even for stock exhaust. Here's mine with just aftermarket mufflers. After about 50 secs, it'll calm back down. OAT: 1 deg. YouTube - ‪BMW E92 M3 Cold Start‬‏ CEL can be eliminated...

Re: Encouraging Changi Track News! Work on Changi Motorsports Hub halted - Channel NewsAsia Old news I know. I was all along under the impression completion date was supposed to be June or July 2011. Bearing in mind this forecast was given 09-10 period. Struggling to come up with $10mil...

Re: Encouraging Changi Track News! I haven't been keeping up with the news, but it seems that constructon at Changi Motorsport Hub hasn't made any progress for quite a while. Does anybody have any updates ? Buying a GoKart or storing a race car in Malaysia seems like the only option.

Re: Encouraging Changi Track News! Don't mind if I detract a little. Earlier this year with my intention of relocating from Perth to Singapore, I explored the possibility of shipping my track car to KL for track activities. From what I gathered, it was possible but my car has to be...

Re: Steering wheel vibrate at speed of 175km/h and above. Got a 320D as a loan car when the ///M went in for servicing. Very torquey and responsive. Fuel needle did not move from morning till evening. E92 325 does 200kph (indicated) with ease. 220kph region should be achievable.

Re: Steering wheel vibrate at speed of 175km/h and above. I would also take a look at the wheel bearings depending on how long you stayed at 175kph.

Re: Trackers, on a scale of 1 - 10... Precisely. I would like to give the instructor in that video a half-hearted benefit of doubt that it was all in good fun. However based on that tone of voice and instructions on youtube, the impression he gave me was that all these instructions...

Re: Trackers, on a scale of 1 - 10... That really did not look like Controlled Oversteer to me. I would like to know what is BMW (SG) selection criteria for ADT Instructors.

Re: 2012 GTR shaves 6secs off 'Ring time'. 0-60 in 2.9seconds! Just sharing my experience. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with what you said. I don't believe life should be full of competitions. At the end of the day, you earned the money, ultimately you decide what you spend on...

Re: 2012 GTR shaves 6secs off 'Ring time'. 0-60 in 2.9seconds! Right on the money

Re: Bridgestone or Jap made tyres I'm no expert. I'm just trying to help and learn new things from members of this forum. DSC intervenes when the car Understeer or Oversteer. Not just Oversteer. I'm not saying that at the time, when you drove and DSC intervened, the car did not...

Re: 2012 GTR shaves 6secs off 'Ring time'. 0-60 in 2.9seconds! That was what I meant. If there is no change in tyre temp, there should not be any changes in tyre pressure. As tyre temp increases, tyre pressure increases. I'm using the analogy that hypothetically if one were to...

Re: 2012 GTR shaves 6secs off 'Ring time'. 0-60 in 2.9seconds! As tyre pressure does not rise by itself, perhaps you meant to say tyre temperatures exceeded its performance range ? For example, in extreme heat, approximately 37 degrees ambient temps, track temp unknown, at 30 psi cold...

Re: Bridgestone or Jap made tyres Perhaps you meant to say if the rear tyre traction value is lesser than the front, you may end up with oversteer .
