Maybe reach out to Speed Academy? This is their home track and Dave and Pete are pretty knowledgeable of the track. Might be a good video to see lap times dropping as your skill increases. I was able to go 3 seconds faster with just more seat time at my local track.
damn i KNEW that i knew this track from somewhere.
Love to see Dave have a crack at it, I'm sure he'd love it too.
seeing this car fills me with happiness
Still my favorite car build on youtube.
I bet you haven't seen project Binky then
From what i saw on the footage, i have the feeling that you are coasting alot before breaking and also late on the throttle, thats easy 1 second per lap there
That and seems to spend way too much time outside the engines power band - isn't shifting nearly enough.
@@tablesoup he either needs to be a gear lower or a shorter final drive
Not heal toeing/ automatic not helping
He's always on 3rd gear wtf...
@@loxeyloba5897 thought the same
Thank you! Watching my name written over that beast makes me proud! Good job man!!!
i feel lke b=forbuild should just give you an open checkbook to build his one seater so it can actually be used
B for build is to cheap and cocky for thst
@@TM-jt3dd i am glad that the algorythm stopped recommending me B...
*you finally let the beast out of its cage!* i agree, your car is enough to get you the overall win, you just need more experience/comfort driving it...and better tires probably.
What ever race team you start or get pulled into I will support. I don’t care who or what type!!!! Keep being freaking awesome man!!!! I have followed this car since you started RUclipsing it and I’m always blown away at your talent.
Don't forget, the thermal cameras looking at the tires are only showing 'surface' temperature of the tire. The tire's carcass temperature is what really matters, which you need a probe-type pyrometer to test for (cost about $200-300). That is why the tire temp appears to cool right after braking: it is only the surface temp that has cooled, not the actual carcass. Additional note: you need to be running tire warmers with those P-Zero slicks. The wheel (rim) is robbing heat from the tire carcass until the rim gets hot, resulting in longer times for the carcass to warm up to operating temp.
Keep rocking on, love the channel.
@22:25 I must say that it matters not what your time was. Wrap your mind around my thinking. 1) You built a car. 2) You drove the car.3) You critique your own driving and admit every mistake you made! All that my friend DEMANDS respect!!! I don't care if you come in last. You are a true winner in my book and my book doesn't have to many entres. Very well done. Oh and to let you know I am a serious critic. So to read my words makes you a super grand prize winner.
When is he finally going to throw out that pneumatic system? I think it is never going to work sufficiently, and it does not make sense at all to me.
1) throw a different compressor in there, 120V AC with a hugeass inverter is ridiculous on a racecar. Use a belt driven one (from the engine) or at least find a 12V one. You don't need massive amounds of pressure or flow, maybe you can use one from a air-suspension system.
2) If you want to shift pneumatically, don't actuate the shiftknob, actuate the levers directly on the transmission, that would make much more sense.
don't most of the pneumatic guys run CO2 for their shifting system?
@@kasuraga yes and no. some promod nitrous guys use nitrous in the pneumatic shifted transmissions
No point of making it work while the gearbox is still stock gear with synchro that require clutch on every gear shift...
What he really needs is proper sequential dog-box from hgt or similar manufacturer so shifting is much faster without the need of clutch be it in manual sequential lever shift mode or paddle shift mode...
*Its because even if he able to make the actuator to shift fast, there is still delay he need to account for like:
1-clutch in and out time
2-synchro engagement time
If he needs to cheap out on non sequential transmission... Atleast get a built internal gears with dog engagement type..
Or straight to full sequential like from hgt which is not that pricey...
Then he can juat use mechanical lever to shift sequentially.. or full auto paddle shift using servo motor to operate the sequential shifter drum
I think you're going to set a trend for these time attack guys to have spaceframed specials. The way you were reeling them back in under braking is got to have made them take notice! Nicely done!
Those 'fenders' will help you keep heat in your fronts, I reckon
Pirelli's might blow up on you lol
Damn, once I wrote this comment you talked about Max's blowout hehe
Would love to see the car with its panels all on. Been waiting quite a while for an update about that. Must be said that I also like the other projects, but asl (build) got me hooked to your channel. Keep up the great work.
Love from Holland
I believe S1 sequential makes a sequential shifter kit for the CD009 transmission and I think it would greatly benefit you since you can simplify your electronics and pneumatics a lot! All you'd need is 2 strain gauges on the shifter to tell when you're upshifting and downshifting and you can configure the clutch and rev matching for downshifting! I'm no expert but I hope that helps!
Seeing you lift the car in that creative way gets you a new subscriber
What an update, awesome stuff!
It must be the hard tires, as at low speeds the car just looks really sluggish, heavy, agricultural in comparison to the high speed stuff.
Awesome project. A lot of time to win with gear shifts for sure.
Thank you for the LONG awaited video!
This car is what I subscribed for, and purchased a T-shirt, too!
I have not worn the shirt yet, I want to keep it nice.
So glad to hear & see you are ok!
Been following your builds and side projects, right from your early "home built car" days. Kudos to you, very inspiring!
Something that will help you is driving a much later apex. You have a power advantage, so keep your foot over the brake until exiting the corner. If you avoid touching the throttle mid corner, the front end will stop washing out. The car looks amazing!! And soo fast!
Good to see the car out again after such a while and thanks for showing the patrons on the car! Awesome to see my name on such an amazing project :)
Looks great and sounds great, can't wait till it's finished
Yes!! I was wishing you'd do an f1 style car then you mentioned plans about it and boy was I ecstatic when you did!!! 😃😃
probably would be destroyed even from the slowest cars that raced there...
Thank You XF Motorsport, for sharing the details that you have. I am in the process of building my own project car, and this info has been a massive help to me. Also, you race car is a seriously Cool Project, so Best Wishes to you, for your future racing. Regards JB
RUclips algorithm does not do this channel justice, I subscribed and still had to search to find this great content, love your work
that thing sounds bruuuuuuuuuuutal!
Brilliant build, really impressive.
Great video 👍 So happy you get back into the project race car.Have lots of fun 😆
You are an absolute legend! It's great to see you back at it again with the car that made me subscribe to this channel. Looking forward to the finished product and the F1 Build!
Talented AND humble...winning combination!
happy to see you have some fun with this thing its waayy to awesome
Congratulations on the build. I was following it and then lost track for a while. It is awesome to see it essentially complete. That machine is a beast!
What do you think about your steering ratio? For a tight, twist track like that one I think I'd prefer a quicker ratio.
Car looks and performs awesome!! The F1 project looks top notch!! Looking forward to it!
Well done! Glad to see this car in action.
Great seeing you enjoying the fruits of your labour!!👍
Super glad to see you again .
0:56 I’m no expert but fixing the front brakes seems like a good 👍 idea to me too. 😜
Great video, Tx!
I feel like the car has way more to give! Once you are used to it and have it dialed in nicely it is going to be a beast!
It's like a modernized version of Max Balchowsky's Old Yaller - a homebuilt road-racing "special" with rough-looking bodywork and an unlikely engine. You use a Mercedes/AMG lump because that's an engine you're an expert upon; Max used a Buick "nailhead" because it was a good performer if you knew some tricks, and was dead-reliable. He also really played up a hayseed image: He'd drive Old Yaller to the track, change the tires, race it, change them back, and drive home, and his pit crew was his wife, Ina. But he had a bit more going on than it might initially have seemed - with training in mechanical engineering, he knew how to make a car handle.
congratulations on getting the project finished enough to take it to a track day! cheers!
Amazing project, glad that you finally got to enjoy it on the track properly.
Great video 👍
More E55 ASL content pls! Love this ultimate car and it made the channel with all his engineering :)
So excited to see the 560sec progress !!
What a fantastic car. Great work.
*Congratulations, Dude!* 🥇🏆🎆🛸
YESS!! IM SO EXITED FOR THE VIDEO
Great build, as you said there's certainly some driver mods to be made which will increase the speed but that's a much longer, and ultimately more satisfying, process than upgrading the car
So good to see this car on track again
Not sure if it's really in the budget or not, but I think this car would really benefit from a sequential. That way, you could simplify the pneumatics on the shifter because it would only need to go forward and backward.
Killer build, keep up the good work!
Nice! Only 1sec off of 3rd place and couple of second from the top! You get the first second straight off with new tyres and the other second with seat time 👍👍
Great job on the car! I hope that You get more track time this year!!
Dude this car sound amazing and look batmobile style i totaly love it
always fun to see this thing out. it's sounds rowdy!
Nice dude, looking forward
Great job man sounds so good in the powerband
Its been a while since i saw this build on the channel again
The reason im watching xf
Love the E55 ASL videos!
Awesome! Hope you take the time to have fun practicing on track.
I'm glad to see you and the car on the track, but there's a lot of wise advice coming from some followers in here. As a Pro-Driver for BMW I can tell you that the biggest gains right now are in your driving technique (I can elaborate via PM). As a season setup driver, your second biggest gains is the on throttle push mid corner, the car goes into a push too easy, needs more mechanical grip on the front axle.
Do you have enough droop in the rear suspension? It seems to get upset very easily and I'm wondering if you don't have enough droop and the wheels are not able to cycle through enough travel. Travel sensors and datalogs would be a big help on this car.
Top level safety attire there...
Awesome work man, you are extremely talented
Truly amazing!
Congratulations on a great build and racing results. To those Euro-car pros, he fact that a rookie driver, racing your untested, self-build car and keeping up with them.....must really hurt their feelings. Keep up the great work!
Well done brother
Your going to love the Hoosiers!
Great content man!
congratulations,you did ausome
Runs great! Driving is good, it's trying to lug out of the corners. They should never be leaving you with less power. It makes you feel like you don't have to, but that's where a slower car catches the faster by using the heel toe which many people yap about but it's highly unlikely that they know what it is or how to do it.
It's rev matching and braking with the right foot at the same time so you are already in the lower gear and smashing the throttle at the apex.
I know you know but a few people may not.
This project is freaking awesome.
I'm wondering if you could go over how you set the car up and if/what changes you make throughout a race weekend. Designing the car is cool, but with so many adjustments and variables interconnected I'm interested how you approach it.
If you're struggling so much with low tire temps there are definitely things you can change to get them higher (more compression, toe, etc.) I'd be really interested to see how you weigh those tradeoffs
Good work
Spool those turbos! Sounds awesome!
How I wish I could build a car to stand next to you on the podium 🤣🤣 (in 1st place obviously 😅) love the videos!
Great series, and I love that you cut the audio when the announcer started talking about masks. I always go to racing events to hear about ongoing medial information personally... /sarcasm off. Great race! Car is running amazing!
Really nice to see you, your shop and this project coming together from watching you in your old place release videos every so often. Thought, its a little bit of a "meme" but possibility of implementing rolling antilag for help with turbo spool out slow corners?
Nice project man!
If i was you, i'd focus on making myself faster than building a faster car for now.
I'm a fan of your channel and i want to see better content arriving with each notification. ;)
You may find an industrial din rail set screw style terminal strip to be... wire easier.
If anyone is interested heat shrink thermal printers and linear wire markers no longer require surrendering body parts for individuals to own.
Nice built --- i missed my Atom and Caterham
Good on you mate you've got a blisteringly fast car, just need to drive it to the limit, if i had any advice it would be keep your rpm higher in the corner but keep it smooth otherwise it will become very unstable, this will help you learn got corner exit throttle control
✌
Best of luck, go hard
Great racing pants
Can I ask how the threats for the vertical screws in the rear wing are hold in place? I work on a somewhat similar project and this way of mounting the wings has always interested me.
your living in my dream!!!
You are going to do a homemade F1 car? Holy.. nice!
I had this ultra-downforce (non-F1 rules) selfmade car idea in my head for weeks now and it's not going away. I wish I had the time and resources right now to work on it
It understeers like crazy. You need serious amount of load on the front axle. The oversteer could help you clear those corners better. Maybe if you make stiffer adjustments on the rear will increase the load transfer to the front outer wheel. I also think you are using excessive anti ackermann. Great effort and congratulations for your result.
in the 70,s i used to race F3 my cold tyre pressures were 12 lb ".. around 21/23 hot .
Gotta get the gear ratio fixed or downshift when at 3k you’ll gain a little time by itself. And the breaks look like they can handle a little more, easier said then done but you have potential. And your marking a f1 inspired car! Wow that’s insane
Been waiting for this one
The sound reminds me of the old Panoz Le Man cars 😁
Great to see some fresh content. You should think about building a simple simulator and run iRacing to improve your driving.
For me wasn't the tire temperature the problem.
In order to achieve probably 2 full secs I would have probably augmented the camber at the front and lower the pressure by 0.2 bar and adjusted also the brake bias maybe a little more in the rear like 60-50 seeing by the lockups you made. Awesome car btw
Finally 💖
Awesome!
Mate, for bolting floor -> just get get circular plate of couple of inch diameter and weld bolt to it from the other side, that would keep the surface completely flat and it wont shear off easily.
Will the enclosed front wheel wings help to retain the tyre temperature mid corner once off the brakes??
Oh yeah, this is it!!!!
What modeling/analysis software do you use to design the suspension?
Turn the boost up!
Good job man ! A few tweaks and I think u will really be giving them a run for their money
