Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Machine put up a video from when he was under tuition at lakeside, I think its a few pages back in this thread. Have a look back through other happy laps at videos of my and others lines too. Also in my signature below there is a link to a good website on racing lines, worth a read.

    The main thing to remember is to look through the corner, your peripheral vision will ensure the steering is smooth and you'll starting hitting most apex. You also don't need to be driving at the limit to learn, which makes these laps ideal for trying differing lines.

      I've read through that link before but I'll go over it again and I'll check out that video too, cheers.

      Maybe I'll see if a mate who's been racing formula ford for years wants to come out as a passenger.

          Very jelly. I think there is some wifi or bluetooth add-on for my hero2 but it means I can't use the plastic housing for it which is kinda pointless. Same goes for the extended battery.

              Does the screen app work over wifi? Hope its not reliant on your home wifi network

              Perhaps turn on personal hotspot so the iphone creates a wifi network for the go pro to join.

                The screen app works over wifi, the hero 3 has a built in wifi signal so you can access it remotely.

                    Unfortunately this round has already filled up but i can put you on the reserve list and you will automatically be placed into the next laps session in April if you like?

                    You can still come out for a look/breakfast and see if you can jag a passenger spot with someone to see how the event works and get a feel for the track.
                    If you want to do this let me know.

                          This is an example of not what to do and will get you reprimanded for our event.

                            "ZOMG LOOK AT ME I DOES DRIFTS ON THE STRAIGHT!" That is just....sad. Also most of us drive FWD cars so me thinks it would be a bit dumb to even try to drift. That overtaking is just retarded. I can't believe QR even allowed them out there (like what has already been said) and I'm surprised the event was not cut short because of poor behaviour. But I guess QR probably expects that behaviour from Downshift

                            I will admit I did a bit of lift-off oversteer a couple of times at the last one but I was really just seeing what happens and how the car reacts and I made sure no one was near me when it happened. Also a couple times it happened by mistake.

                              • Who do I speak to about getting on the reserve list for the next one? I know this one is all booked up but I would love to come along and have a look and meet a few of you guys.
