Civic vs Integra Battle for the Win! - Gridlife NJMP

  • Опубликовано: 9 сен 2022
  • Ben Lin's transmission is broken on the Evo from Gridlife Midwest, so Ben Thorn compete's alone with his civic at NJMP.
    Following a disappointing finish at Gridlife Midwest, Ben turns his attention to NJMP. With a new suspension setup and help from sim training, there's a chance of victory. The closest competition of the season so far, battling for thousands of a second against his arch nemesis, Grant Davidson in a nearly identical car.

    Might think about bringing extra wheels and tires. Seems like your run into these types of issues a lot. Small inconveniences that could easily be fixed if you brought extra sets

      @GearsandGasoline  Год назад +229

      I had an extra set of wheels with me, but they were the oiled set from the last gridlife round. I didn’t want to buy two brand new sets for this event because I couldn’t spare the money. Brought the oiled set as an emergency, thankfully I was able to just buy one new tire instead.

    I race a K-powered RSX in endurance and have found that it is faster around the track without the rear wing (NRG carbon wing with 5 degree angle of attack on custom mounts). But my drivers prefer the wing for a more stable feel at high speed. Lots of variables, and differences, I know, but just an FYI. Great effort on your part! enjoyed the video.

    @johayneskippers2703 Год назад +6

    I think you might have been running a little too close to the guy who took first place in the last session. As much as the slipstream helps on the straight the lack of fresh cooler air might have hindered your ability to power out of the corners and the dirty air creating less downforce. You were sliding around quite a bit behind him. But that's my opinion.
