    Thank you for your insightful videos. I love seeing an insider scoop into the lives of other race mechanics. They don't make many videos like this for my series

    Would love to see some set up details. I know you can't get into the 3'rd dampers but any info about what you guys do for a set up would be awesome. If you can get into details like the preload range you shoot for on the torsion springs, acceptable weight splits across the front & rear. I have a Norma M30 that I've up spec'd and any deep dive into the how and why of processes and set up are great knowledge for me.

      Yeah I can do a video at some point in the workshop when we have time about how we set the car up. Nice the Norma is a nice car, great to work on.

      Yes please. Anything on how much work goes into aligning and how you manage changing a corner but keeping straight.

      Sadly crashing happens to everyone at some point it's a part of motorsport. If it is during a event we will get it fixed as fast as possible to get the car back out for the next session.

    Oh my God that is crazy expensive. I better not see someone throw it or drop those guns and nuts. I would lose it if I had to pay for that

    • @TheMotorsportMechanic
      @TheMotorsportMechanic  Год назад +1

      Yeah it still blows my mind the money involved and that's only a small part of it.

    Championships like F2 have moved to electric wheel guns for stops now and I’ve noticed that more & more GT teams use them in the garages during practice sessions. Supercars in Australia are supposed to be trying to introduce them too. Do you think ACO series will end up moving this way?

    • @TheMotorsportMechanic
      @TheMotorsportMechanic  Год назад +1

      Yes for sure they are becoming more popular and the technology for them now means they are more than good enough for the job. I haven't heard anything about them changing but I wouldn't be surprised if they do change in the near future.
