- This week I rebuild the brake calipers on the oreca lmp2 car and install the carbon fibre brakes as well.
I also explain the reason behind the 4th Master cylinder.
Thanks mate. Informative as always! Keep making them I will keep watching them!
Thanks, will do!
Nice system that 4th Master Cylinder. I take it that an actual clutch plate or thrust bearing failure could still render the marshals (and car) proper stranded - speaking from the wonderful experience of limping an old car home once with a snapped clutch Cable 😕
Yes that would cause the system to not work for sure. Ahh yes old cars, will always give you them problems, I had a throttle cable snap on me before.
Thanks for explaining the extra master cylinder. I never would have know that is what its function is. Love to know more of the electronics in the car in particular the dash and the numerous buttons that are present. Keep up the great work as just love the videos.
Thanks and yeah I can do a video about all the electronics and controls in the car
Hell ya man more vids fer these awesome Machines,Pretty cool how well & somewat simplified brake system along with master saftey systems. The design and engineering on these Beasts is truly Auto Art to me, So again i say thank you fer sharing your Journey with us on some of the best racing machines on this rock we call Earth!!
Thanks a lot and will keep it coming 👍
That brake rebuild seems suprisingly easy and something even i could do! Despite being graduated as a mechanic i sucked at working on actual cars allthough the brakes weren't that difficult... Except drum brakes.
Yeah brake calipers are fairly simple and don't have a lot of components, yes drum brakes can be a pain especially when a spring goes flying and you've got to go find it 😂
Amazing content it is rare to see this much of the behind the scenes keep it up and good luck for the next races!
Thanks I'm glad you enjoy it. Hopefully we get a good result next race 👍
I find it funny that the dust shield has so many bolts to hold it on... But they brake caliper itself only has 2 bolts!
Yeah I do see what you mean but I guess that's just the way it is 😂 some things do have more bolts than necessary that's for sure
Loving this channel, fascinating look behind the scenes. If it's something you're open to sharing, I'd love to hear how you ended up working as a motorsport mechanic. Is it a college route, an apprenticeship? Is it what you wanted to do, or did you end up there? And have you ever tried your hand behind the wheel? Failing that, keep the car stuff coming, cheers 👍
Thanks glad you enjoy it and yeah I can do a video on that at some point as well 👍
@@TheMotorsportMechanic Top man, thanks. Have a good one..
Great video thanks
No worries glad you liked it
Hi thanks a lot for this video, so could you explain the position of brake's front and rear on the disk for the best performance?
Why is it always hard to find reverse in a racecar?
For a marshal it is hard as they won't be able to reach the pedals not with shoes on that's for sure
Great content loving the videos would also like to know how you got to where you are today working on this machines thinking of a career in motorsport mechanic myself 👍
Thanks I will do a video about it at some point but briefly I went college got a job after that in club racing and worked my way up as I gained experience
Thanks for the info look forward to the video 👍
Apt timing... I'm just about to go at the brakes on my Gillard kart :) Two questions - how much is a that set up per corner and BTW how much is a ready to roll Oreca LMP2 ? Love your channel BTW - even nicer that that team's named after me :)
Ahh nice work, I'm not exactly sure on the exact price per corner but I would say for the whole brake setup for the car you would be around £20,000
The price of a lmp2 is cost capped at €483,000 and that doesn't include the engine which is leased and you cannot purchase and doesn't include the electronics package which is like ecus and stuff.
@@TheMotorsportMechanic Fantastic stuff... again, mega thanks for all you're doing here, the channel's brilliant !
could you show me how those hinges work on these lmp racecars? it has a kind of quick release i think from both sides but cant figure it out completely haha
Brilliant video again. Is this brake work a day's work?
Half a day I would say to get it done 👍
how does the extinguishing system work
I will explain that in a upcoming video for you 👍
