What kind of rivets are used on those sort of old body panels?

[muted hamlet]

Honestly I couldn’t tell u haha I’ll have to find out

[dense crystal]

Lol no worries, just curious that's all

[muted hamlet]

I stopped working to focus on my final exams before all the body work went on and it was the first time it had been built in a couple of years so didn’t actually find out

I’ll find out in a few weeks when I’m back

[dense crystal]

Ohhh alright, that's fair enough

Hmm, do Rivnuts classify as rivets? IDK why I randomly thought of that

Imma say yes

[muted hamlet]

Ye I guess

This is what we started with

[dense crystal]

Oooo, also that workshop looks really cool

[muted hamlet]

Ye it’s very full haha

[dense crystal]

At least you're not struggling for work 😂

man, I would love to hear that V12 in person some day

[muted hamlet]

Well we are at most event with a group c grid this year

[muted hamlet]

Quickest cars of there era other than f1

[noble tree]

well im almost on the other side of the planet so that doesn't help all that much

[muted hamlet]

I’m assuming in the states?

[noble tree]

yep

we don't get much of anything over here

and the races we do get are either shit, NASCAR or Indycar, or way too expensive

the last racing event of any sorts ive been to was the PPIHC

[muted hamlet]

Damn

[noble tree]

Not much cool stuff over here

[muted hamlet]

Doesn’t the masters historic series still race out in the states

Or at least they used to when my dad was doing it

@noble tree

There’s some historic stuff for u

F1 cars and endurance ledgends

The one at cota is a support race so would mean u would have to get f1 tickets but the road America one is a dedicated historic weekend I think

[noble tree]

Both of those are thousands of KMs from me

[muted hamlet]

Damn

there’s always the choice of saving for a few years then coming to Europe

[noble tree]

My dad always wanted to go to a Le Mans in person, who knows 👀

He has always been a motorcycle racing fan, but it’s pretty much impossible to be a fan of one and not at least care for the other, and given that he works for Toyota he definitely has interest in cars too

[winter gazelle]

When Dick Johnson famously, or rather infamously, crashed into a stray rock at the Mountain

[pine reef]

Barely remember that day

[winter gazelle]

Not to mention, his distressed expression after the incident. Knowing that he spent everything on his team. Thankfully the crowd, out of good gesture, helped out with the finances

[muted hamlet]

I’d recommend the Le Mans classic

There’s a lot of history there

[blazing drift]

The only central seat closed body cars I like

[muted hamlet]

The new alpine HyperCar is central seated

[blazing drift]

https://tenor.com/view/daeth-funi-periflight-dies-from-gif-22212023

[lean hatch]

The F1 GTR is central seated as well

[blazing drift]

Yeah but that's not a Prototype nor single seated so I give it a pass

[lean hatch]

Ok then

[muted hamlet]

There was a few group c cars that were central seated I’m pretty sure

[blazing drift]

Closed Cockpit cars can get away with it but I don't like it so much, Open Cockpits make the effect worse

As some of u may know I’m working at the Le Mans classic in a couple of weeks for a team and seen as I’m going and some may not have the opportunity, I’m offering to buy programmes whilst I’m there and then post them to u as it’s the 100th year since Le Mans and it will be a special event. If you would like one please message me and we can arrange everything

[noble tree]

What are programmes?

[shut basalt]

[muted hamlet]

It’s like magazine and it has information on cars that are there and the about the event and stuff

[noble tree]

One of the Most dominant showings of the race, with Mario clearing qualifying by 2mph, and leading all but 5 laps due to pit rotations, lapped every car

And 22...? Laps to go, the Penske-Ilmor-Chevy's bear in mind had already died, he was being told to go to conservatively and dropped revs into a harsh Harmonic range which blew the Engine and Turbo

Some sad news for anyone who has enjoyed the xjr-9 stuff I post in here over the past year. This weekend marks the final race for the car for the foreseeable future. Having won at Le Mans classic last year, she was given a good final outing and she runs for the last time on the limit at Paul ricard this weekend before becoming a showroom piece. I am looking forward to working on a new Le Mans car and hope to have the same success I’ve had with the xjr-9.

[obsidian lantern]

When Mark Webber tried to be a pilot for the first time (His second time was at Valencia 2010, Eventually around 2011 Mark Webber tried to obtain a pilot’s license. Webber loves flying)

[silver shell]

still amazes me how he was not injured in that

[muted hamlet]

The same car there was only 10 Porsche 934/5 made ever

[winter gazelle]

And lets not forget what happened to Peter Dumbreck during the race

The brawl that made NASCAR popular

[marsh venture]

HUH??

Can I have? :3 🥺

[noble tree]

[manic sierra]

Twenty years ago this year the NASCAR Cup Series changed title sponsor from Winston to Nextel, and for the first time, ditched the full season points format.

Kurt Busch won three races including this one in the first round of the chase at New Hampshire on his way to the 2004 title in the #97 for Jack Roush.

[muted hamlet]

For the low price of $1.2 million yeah

[slender obsidian]

I'll trade you my 1986 944 with 7 oil leaks

[blazing drift]

HANG ON

Wait

You worked on the XJR-9's yea?

[muted hamlet]

Yeah

[blazing drift]

Whjat were their power/dyno graphs like?

Or can you not talk about that

[muted hamlet]

We ran the xjr-9 at 750hp

But it could have done 820

But wouldn’t have lasted very long

We clocked 212mph on the mulsanne at Le Mans classic in 2022

And then 225 last year

[blazing drift]

DAYUM

[muted hamlet]

Had different gear ratios last year

[blazing drift]

On a chicaned LM?

[muted hamlet]

Yeah

She pulls

[blazing drift]

Torque?

[muted hamlet]

I have no clue tbh

I’d have to ask my dad

He did all the dyno work

[blazing drift]

Sorry some guy, diff server, is tryna make a better power curve for an XJR-9 mod for AMS2, I should probably come out with that first

[muted hamlet]

Haha

[blazing drift]

damn 820 is nuts for one of those

[muted hamlet]

They never ran that

Cos the engine wouldn’t last half a lap at Le Mans

[lean hatch]

Oh yeah, didn’t you say you were gonna run a Courage?

[muted hamlet]

I think the highest they ever ran was 785

[muted hamlet]

Yeah that’s in build atm

[blazing drift]

mfw My opponents are BMW M12/13's

[lean hatch]

C65, right?

[muted hamlet]

Yeah

[lean hatch]

gotcha

[muted hamlet]

Waiting on an engine and parts to return from crack test atm

Also today we review a gt3 bmw z4

Recieved*

[lean hatch]

Alpine’s Mecachrome V6:

[blazing drift]

Ay don't chat; that thang's bangin' with sound

Dammit the C65 ain't the C41

[lean hatch]

Sounds amazing
Performs horribly

End of story.

[blazing drift]

Perfection essentially then

[muted hamlet]

That’s what we got today

[lean hatch]

Ginetta used one for their LMP1 program and look how that turned out

[muted hamlet]

I was at Le Mans to witness there horrendous attempt

[blazing drift]

Still

[lean hatch]

If you ask me, a Ginetta GT4 car would probably last longer and perform better than the LMP1

[muted hamlet]

Yeah

[muted hamlet]

I’m in the private only endurance discord server haha

[blazing drift]

Oh?

[muted hamlet]

Here’s a better fly by

[blazing drift]

Now I know this is classic but

Actually I think the best sounding of the TWR Jags is the... XJR-7?

[lean hatch]

Wow, pretty interesting choice

[muted hamlet]

Nah always the xjr-9

[lean hatch]

What about the XJR-12

[blazing drift]

https://youtu.be/uWpiJaXlQRM?si=2pLsLImwk-5EA1G5

You'll know exactly why the moment this video starts

[muted hamlet]

It just doesn’t satisfy me

[lean hatch]

Hey wait a minute, why does it feel like I’ve seen this before

[blazing drift]

Probably coz I posted it in IMSA

[lean hatch]

It’s not that

I feel like I’ve seen that video before I joined the IMSA server

[blazing drift]

But my fave engine has to be from the 12's; the 7.3 from the 12 and the 6.5 from the 12D respectively

[muted hamlet]

That’s the 1989 xjr-9 #2 jag

[blazing drift]

how so?

The larger engine rev lower?

[muted hamlet]

There was one at the classic last year and it just didn’t stand out when it passed by

Where as the likes of the xjr-9 and xjr-14 stand out

Cos the xjr-9 is a 7.0 litre v12 and the xjr-14 is basically an f1 car

[blazing drift]

Well yeah but... Idk there could be a few things that could effect that

I wonder if the 12's exhaust was significantly different

[muted hamlet]

I know there was a huge aero change from its older sisters

[blazing drift]

How so?

[muted hamlet]

A customer nearly bought one last year but the French fucked uo the deal

[blazing drift]

The 12D is obvious but the 12LM's aren't too visuallydifferent

[muted hamlet]

If the car had come to us I’d be able to tell u but the deal fell through so idk a whole lot

[blazing drift]

Just going back, this version of the XJR-7's had just the zhaust tones I'm all about which if you had on the latter cars I'd bias them instead

Right

[lean hatch]

Hmmm…. This reminds me. What if the XJR-10 and XJR-11 used a 6-1 exhaust

[blazing drift]

Probably they'd sounds zesty as heck

[lean hatch]

Yeah

[blazing drift]

Was it the 10 that used the Turbo version of the 6R4 engine?

Or was that all of them?

https://youtu.be/Bi_IOLMNOd8?si=du6fGK3vPHLgkVUr

Here's a good candidate

[lean hatch]

Ah, right. The XJR-16

[blazing drift]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-nicholson-yes-nod-agree-gif-9864414

Would've made a good parry to the Raw tone of the XJR-14's HB

[lean hatch]

Speaking of old V6 prototypes

https://youtu.be/Ed42MjaCc-4?feature=shared

https://youtu.be/1lh8Vgb5kbY?feature=shared

Woooooooooooo

[blazing drift]

From the onboard it sounds like it's missing just once or twice, just Spicy buick things I guess

[blazing drift]

https://youtu.be/odwekxjGY7k?si=QSdRp9tkHy3fKjmG

Some of these turbo Pressure rates are nuts

This statement is a segway I know

[lean hatch]

Oh man, I was just thinking of that onboard

[blazing drift]

We're talking 80 inch mercury or 39.3psi/271kPa above atm.

[lean hatch]

https://youtu.be/TB0bjB_WRSs?feature=shared 3:48 the sound from this GTP ZX-T (it was also driven by jacques villeneuve sr. According to the video description)

[blazing drift]

Or the Eagle Mk.III which... I mean they ran that damn car at nearly 10 bar

[blazing drift]

Oh yessir that's a noise

Also the Spices that follow it

Oh wow there's a rotary

[lean hatch]

And some Ferrari V8’s too

[blazing drift]

Ooooh HF90...?

[lean hatch]

Well the video description states that AAR ran HF89’s

[blazing drift]

Something that I find interesting that this mic is able to pick up is the sheer amount of noise generated from the cars just shoving the air out of the way

Ah okay

[lean hatch]

The quality is amazing for 1990

[blazing drift]

Also there's both ZX-T's and R90CP's

[lean hatch]

I didn’t see a single R90CP. You must be talking about the NPT-90’s

[blazing drift]

Dangit

Can you stop being right while I'm wrong pls thx

[lean hatch]

Ok

[blazing drift]

Pffff

[blazing drift]

Actually now they're brought up... I know next to nothing about the NPT-90

What were they derivatives of?

[lean hatch]

I don’t remember the NPT-90 being a derivative of anything as far as my knowledge goes.

But what I do know is that it succeeded the GTP-ZX Turbo and that it continued using the same VG30ET powerplant, followed by it winning the 1990 and 1991 IMSA GTP titles

[blazing drift]

Dayum, so no games were played, got it

[lean hatch]

Proton Pope also said that there was an NPT derived chassis used for the WSC class

[blazing drift]

the green car looks like the Porsche 917

[lean hatch]

That's because it is

[dense iron]

oh lol

[lean hatch]

Here's the Mooncraft MCS 1 which was used in the late 1970s

[dense iron]

mooncraft

cool name

[lean hatch]

Here is the Mooncraft MCS7 of Keiji Matsumoto

[dense iron]

oh that looks amazing

[lean hatch]

The MCS 7 is my favorite one out of the other MCS models

[dense iron]

yeah I like the mcs7 better than the mcs1

[lean hatch]

Here's Kazuyoshi Hoshino climbing out of his Mooncraft MCS-8

[dense iron]

engine problems?

wait that car looks so small

[lean hatch]

Like I said, F3000 chassis were used later on in the championship

[dense iron]

oh right

[lean hatch]

A Lola T89/50 was used for this

[dense iron]

just a closed chassis tho

instead of the open wheel ones

looks nice

[lean hatch]

Yup.

There are tons of Fuji Grand Champion Series races on youtube

[dense iron]

okay

Here's an example

[dense iron]

[lean hatch]

With some minor execeptions such as thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AJjzc7vtzM&pp=ygUfZnVqaSBncmFuZCBjaGFtcGlvbiBzZXJpZXMgMTk4NA%3D%3D

[dense iron]

I've seen that livery on a group c porsche

I forgot what it was

[lean hatch]

The Italya livery

Used on both the 962 and 935

[winter gazelle]

One icons exits, another one enters

[winter gazelle]

Before the AMR One and the GTR LM Nismo, there was the Cadillac Northstar LMP

[zenith laurel]

It was basically a second generation Can-Am Japanese version

[zenith laurel]

Another great driver, often forgotten

[blazing drift]

Augh... Look at them

I wish they could find a way to preserve the aesthetic reviving these, I felt the new attempts were pretty dookie

[lean hatch]

RIP Keiji

[lean hatch]

I wonder how things would be if the Dallara F2 2018 was used for something like that…. Or maybe even the GP2/11

[blazing drift]

Dallara nose

https://tenor.com/view/dies-gif-22226227

[lean hatch]

Uh…. How about a Mygale F3 car then?

Or maybe a Mygale F3 regional car…

Wait, no

Why not just use the Dallara 320

[blazing drift]

The mygale seems to be just a rebranded Ligier Js F3... But either way I'm gonna be all gatekeepy on this one... I just don't think you could get a good smooth body with those

Wait what am I talking about?

Osella exists

[lean hatch]

Oh yeah….

[blazing drift]

sorry was this a killjoy? 😅

[lean hatch]

No, that was good

The Osella FA30 is a great example

[blazing drift]

Bro what the
My Osella Gameboy Advance

[lean hatch]

The PA2000 though. That’s a rather odd livery

[winter gazelle]

The forgotten JGTC (Super GT) GT300 class dominator

[zenith laurel]

who is he?

I'm terrible with faces

[lean hatch]

Shingo Tachi

[zenith laurel]

Ahh yes

another great one that gone too soon

[zenith laurel]

[blazing drift]

is it me or was the MArch GC871 just their F3000 car?

[zenith laurel]

I think it was only the livery

[lean hatch]

I thought the 87P was just an F3000-F1 hybrid or something

[blazing drift]

that's what I mean

Like the tub is as bulky as an F3000 one is

[lean hatch]

And the roll hoop is the exact same as the 87B

[zenith laurel]

Yes, they were similar, but it wasn't the same like the Dallara that raced in Rio in 1988

[honest bluff]

The Dallara was actually an F3000 car

[zenith laurel]

Yes

FIA's intentions with the F3000 initially were to provide a place to use all the Cosworth DFVs rendered useless due to the turbo mandatory use and also allow some F1 cars to be slightly changed and used by smaller teams. However, the results of the teams that used F1 cars in 1985's F3000 were so weak it was immediately obvious they weren't competitive anymore.

[lean hatch]

To think its been nearly 40 years since F3000 regs have been introduced

[zenith laurel]

Yeah, it was a great series, but rising costs killed it anyway

[rustic helm]

is that portland

[lean hatch]

Yes

[rare cairn]

is that the good Brabham

or the uhh

other Brabham

[winter gazelle]

Geoff isn't, well you know, him...

[rare cairn]

ahh he's the American Brabham

[winter gazelle]

Yeah, the Brabham that raced in America

[rare cairn]

for some reason he just never seemed to make an attempt at F1

or maybe he was never picked up

but pretty successful in the states regardless

4 IMSA titles and a couple podiums in CART

[winter gazelle]

Geoff was also decent in the Australian Super Touring Car Championship. Came 2nd twice. Also scored a Bathurst 1000 victory with his brother David

[rare cairn]

also important to note David also won Le Mans

[winter gazelle]

When the Denso Supra managed to snag 2nd slightly off screen during the 2003 Round 4 Sprint

https://youtu.be/a8-USe2rgKQ?feature=shared&t=2788

[honest bluff]

That's more cursed than the Scalabronis

[lean hatch]

Ironically enough, I initially thought of Scalabroni’s design when I saw this photo

[rare cairn]

Rip 1991

what a shitshow

[atomic summit]

How successful was the F1 in JGTC?

[lean hatch]

It won the 1996 JGTC GT500 title with David Brabham and John Nielsen

Naoki Hattori and Ralf Schumacher finished 2nd in the drivers standings

[zenith laurel]

TC Argentina

[winter gazelle]

Since the Bathurst 1000 is coming up. Time to rewatch some of the classic moments from the Mountain. Like Grey Murphy's legendary lap in the Kmart Commodore
