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,

              • Lots of novice traffic, high winds, rain, and variable track conditions.

                Best I could manage was a 1:59 in the conditions.

                  • Forgot to mention, new top speed of 214km/hr. I can go quicker yet, just need better conditions.

                    I need to do some more analysis of the data logs and see what my entry and exit speeds looked like.

                    With more grip I could have gotten onto the front straight an extra 10km/h faster and gunned for a higher top speed.

                        • Here's some track side video.

                          In car footage to come.
                          My data logger decided not to log any data so there won't be any fancy overlays.
