Griff Wins TVR Speed Championship 2015

[jesfirth]

Nailed it on Sunday at Curborough and got the 8th win to clinch the 2015 TVRCC speed champ. Well chuffed with that especially as there are some really good drivers in the championship including 4 previous champions.

link below to the footage of the winning run from Curborough yesterday.

Well done mate !!

[Barreti]

Bloody well done,

What a jolly good idea, Very Well done Jes, I look forward to another round of aero talk this coming winter LOL

[phazed]

Yes, very well done Jess.

A great bit of video footage as well, I love to see these. People probably don't realise how fast you are going and how the car is constantly on the edge of grip!

I was speaking to Howard on Saturday and he pretty much persuaded me to join you guys next year. I am very much looking forward to it.

Are there any chims participating at the moment?

As to the camera work, are you using a GoPro?

If so, I use mine on narrow view and remove the mirror, (when I remember).

Here's a run at Curborough with a front ARB mount broken, hence the noise.

There are loads of chims running - none quite like yours though. You seem to have lots of grunt and it sounds fantastic It always looks slow on camera which is frustrating. Never quite the same in the car at the time though is it. Welcome to the championship. It really is a great way to waste your time.

Have a play with Dashware Jes, it is free now GoPro have bought the company and you can use the data from your Racelogic datalogger I note you have stashed in your dashboard to overlay onto your videos. Videos do look slow but with telemetry you can see how much G force what speeds you are hitting etc.

Have a quick look at this footage of mine from Bedford, I used my iPhone as a datalogger so the GPS update speed it a bit poor but you get the idea. Using you race logic there would be no lag:

Very well done on winning the championships Jes. It's been pretty close & good competition. It's not over yet though, I'm going for the class B.

By the way, it was a Griffith 1-2-3 at Curborough last Sunday.

It definitely needs a good chim there by the sounds of it!

It flashes at 25 psi.

I do run a baffled sump and have never had it go below!

Those SPA gauges can be programmed to flash and then stay on for any settings and any colour!

I know that bit of Tarmac, the pair of you are flying that's clear to see, well done Jes you must be stoked
Peter that was outstanding,,,
You'll have a ball if those videos are anything to go by
