First car racing video of the year! But did upgrading our car work??....

  • If you've watched the last couple of videos on the Cortina, you'll know the transformation ideas we had on how to modify the car to make it a bit less of a brick cutting through the air! With all that said and done it was time to see if what we had produced actually worked. We hit the track for the first time in the Modified Ford Series this season at Silverstone for the 2024 season opener. With one dry, and one wet race it was a typical British racing weekend. Not all went to plan in the second race but you'll have to watch to see that. The out front camera didn't really enjoy being drenched from tyre spray so apologies for the changing sound in race two. Anyway ciders at the ready for another bit of Avin The Crack!

    Always well done mate..👍
    Shared video to my Malta Cortina MK2 page on Facebook.
    Always looking forward to the next video.
    And by the way, well done to the underneath plating for more aerodynamics.

    Fook me, it was as wet as an otters pocket, but at least you didn't visit the scenery. It's better when it's 'well' wet ( and so is the racing)😜

    Top class
    A bit of left foot braking might help settle the car when entering and exiting the corners
    Just a thought
    Well done to all involved 😊

    • @avin_the_crack
      @avin_the_crack  4 месяца назад +2

      Was just thinking that ourselves. The camera out the front was the one capturing all the sound so maybe use the onboard camera for rear facing next time 👍🏻

  • @paultossell1455
    @paultossell1455 4 месяца назад +1

    Cracking vid again guys car looked bloody quick once the tyres comes on and looked more stable under breaking once you altered yhe bias
    A rear cam aswell would make it pukka
    Takes big balls to have a RWD singing like that in the wet especially on 10 inch wets as the dont do a great deal

    • @avin_the_crack
      @avin_the_crack  4 месяца назад +1

      Could do with another gear, and lower ratios. Will replace the tractive 5 speed box with the 6 speed version when the funds allow 👍🏻
