2024 Hockenheim Jon Wolfe MGB GT V8 my best 3 laps of the Triumph Competition & HTGT weekend
มุมมอง 3635 หลายเดือนก่อน
The best 3 laps of the 3 races of the 2024 Hockenheim Triumph Competition & HTGT race weekend. The car is a pretty much standard spec MGB GT V8 with stiffer suspension but with standard brakes and a standard spec Rover 3500cc V8. It needs a few improvements!

The car is a pretty much standard spec MGB GT V8 with stiffer suspension but standard brakes and a standard spec Rover 3500cc V8. It needs a few improvements!

A good start followed by a really annoying DNF when the engine let go after less than 2 laps. A connecting rod broke, damaging the crank, a bore and punching a hole in the sump. You can't really hear it in the video but it's right at the start of Wellington Straight.

Like some of my others, you have to be keen to watch it all but at least I worked out how to blend in the rear-view camera (which is reversed to make it like the mirror). This is the second race of the weekend when my track knowledge was improving but the guys in the post historic cars helped me out again with lines. Many people who took part in the race are in there somewhere. The red flag bit...

Well that was a tough old race! Horrible greasy conditions for practice and the session was mixed in with the CSCC Future Classics series - the car and I are not at our best when it's like this but I just about managed 11th from 32 cars on the combined series grid. The 40 minute race was dry and despite the 20s success penalty (served as an extra wait in the pit lane) managed 4th overall and 2n...

If you were in the race you are probably in here somewhere; it's not a great video because of the rain and the wiper packed up at 7 minutes - it was not a great drive by me as it was my first race in this car in the rain so a very steady start. Started 12th, finished 13th overall but 2nd in class.

    I’m halfway through watching, so maybe I shouldn’t comment yet but two things struck me, that MGB was surprisingly good under braking, I thought a much heavier car would lose out. I’m not sure what the regs are but my B’s brakes are good for road use, I would expect them to struggle whilst racing. I’m interested why you took that line through Druids, it seems to compromise your exit speed, you must have a reason, please enlighten. Thanks for posting I’ll go back to the race.

    • @jonniev8
      @jonniev8 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      MGBs are amazingly good and he's probably better at it than me! Exit speed on Druids doesn't really matter as going tight is much shorter and it's such a short sprint to the left hander plus don't forget it's a whole train of cars in front and behind so you ae always watching for someone diving down the inside and wiping you out! Thanks for watching.

      I thought Dean (240z) had seen me and was letting me past but probably hadn't and moved back over the track. You can see it more easily in the forward camera version of this race, also on TH-cam.

    I almost lost the rear left. It started coming off during a drive on the street. When I pulled over, it was just about off. Apparently, when I was tightening the Nader nut in my garage, the car is so light, the wheel started turning on the smooth concrete surface. I gave it a good yank, but obviously, that wasn't good enough. Really need someone to step on the brakes while tightening the nut.
