Japfest 2 - Rockingham Raceway - 16th Aug 2015

Be careful with Rockingham, its an engine killer

Explain yourself, boyo...

mr2's don't seem to like a banked circuit.. When I blew my engine up there, there was also another mk3 a couple mk2s and a couple head gaskets go... It was a very warm day though but aparently its a known engine killing circuit (in races anyway)

We only do 13min races too so doesnt take long

This may not be the case for track days though, was just warning of my experiance/knowledge of the circuit.... I'm sure the show will be awesome

I can see banking might cause oil starvation issues if that's what you mean? Or it is simply the amount of time on full throttle that's the issue?

I should be off so put me down for this [emoji4]
If I have sorted the exhaust I'll be up for some track time too. ( what's the Db limit at rockingham?)

According to that it's 105dB (static I assume). I assume the drive by camera is on the pit wall?

Yes the long bank causes oil starvation

Alright guys... I'll get something together tomorrow and get this off the ground.... In the mean time, don't forget Japshow at the beginning of July

Yes the long bank causes oil starvation

Can that be solved by overfilling with oil? Or is it simply not a risk worth taking?

[Howlin_Mad]

Surely it would be on the infield circuit which only has one banked corner?

I'd be up for that weekend to do "noise appreciation" tunnel again
