Sharing loggers....

[Guillotine]

How many Runners have DL1s?
Dataloggers DL1
Mandatory for B (atleast) next year, we are using the "must be able to carry and power one" plan for this year. Since the Series may not buy one as all must have them in 2013, who has one that is available as a loaner?

I have one
Timbo has one
Leigh has one *
Graham has one *

Is it possible to RENT one from any of the above (*3 or 4 makes sense) so that we can get an accurate figure?
Leigh, how about it? IF you aren't running this year?

Hi andy,

As i have one, as you know, i was going to use it in both my cars and towards that end i have had to buy the data plug and the power lead from race technology for both cars.If you want to put the logger onto a few cars they will have to have the data lead and the power lead wired in as i underrstand it,just a cost to get the leads,wiring them in is no biggy as i got a mate to do mine

ps mine can be used when i'm not using it.

Tim I'll take the day off work and come down to Brands to help you out. As long as its working ok and you have a weight for your Tuscan we should be able to run the numbers through no problem.

I put one in my Chim a couple of years ago and ran it up the bypass and with educated guess figures for the weight, the numbers came out pretty well cock on with my dyno sheet so they are accurate when you do it properly.

hi Nick
car and me in my kit with some fuel is bang on 1000kg
so makes it easy to work out says he who has no idea!

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

I don't have a problem, Mine being used so we can try and get info for every car used, as this will then help in the policing in 2013.

It maybe worth speaking to RT and seeing if we can get a deal on a batch of connectors and brackets, so these can stay in the cars.

I maybe able to come down on the 2nd also, be nice to go though some of the finer turning with Nick.

Good, that'll be ineteresting as Tim can't have more than 325 atw at a Tonne.

Given that the engine will be tight and about 15-20 ponies down when fresh (360?), he should come in under to start with with some losses (50bhp). His power will go up though but should still end up there or there abouts!


Same for you DC, powerwise (380), but since you have been carrying about 4st more than me over the last 4 seasons...you'll be fine too I guess!

What can mine be then? 350bhp (loose) = 925kg = 325bhp/tonne
Crikey!!I best get back on my diet

[TVRSH]

My car has a DL1, but it's still not ready after the longest engine re-build in history! I don't know when it will be out - BH seems like wishful thinking currently.

[kg55]

I have 303bhp per tonne at the wheels as the car weighs 1080kg with me in it without any fuel so can i run in class B please.

NO! ps off! you might scratch me car

[Guillotine]

That would mean you are only getting 364bhp from a 4.5kev...yeah?

Its a B car anyway IMHO

Kev,

Here's an idea, why not run it with a logger and prove its a B car over the season?
Can't really dispute it then, can they?
