Many people think driving skills can only be a 'gift you either have or don't' and something that doesn't need any work or effort to build and maintain. Those people are wrong.Mike McGinnis of Innovative Tuning shows how 'the science of speed', aka data analysis, is used by both professional and amateur (Pro-Am class) drivers, using Cole Powelson of LYFE Motorsport and Jeremiah Burton of Donut Media & Big Time as examples at the World Time Attack Challenge.

Braking at 3g = approximately -105kph (-65mph) in 1 second.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inMeet the RP968: A 1500hp capable beast that shattered the Sydney Motorsport Park lap record with a blistering 1:17.860, dominating WTAC for four straight years in the EMtron Pro class.It takes the full package to smash an outright lap record, and that's what the RP968 has done with teams of clever people like Ashley Field of 909 Motorsport behind the scenes and Barton Mawer behind the wheel. Despite running a large capacity 4-cylinder engine and a 1500hp+ capable Thor billet block from Elmer Racing, amongst other performance goodies, the Bosch Motorsport ABS system that is there to reduce speed, not increase it, has been a key player in getting the lap times as low as possible on the day.With a switch from the M4 to the M5 unit and more fine-tuning of brake pad compounds and spring rates, the team has gone from seeing 2g under braking to 3g, giving everything on and in the car (especially the driver) a huge workout.To reach this level of performance takes more than just slapping on a 'big brake kit' and calling it good, however, and Ashley discusses some of the considerations that go into a high downforce car when it comes to trying to have braking performance at both high and low speed without bouncing or loss of traction.

Episode 45 - We are getting close to 50 episodes.. But here we are, back for another round of our usual content. Starting off on recapping WTAC then moving to our Perth's #7 RWB build (it's a freaking 997 GT3 Cup car!!).I recap my Driver Risk Management track day with the 86/BRZ Club of Western Australia as well. Closing out with some F1, Photography and training updates. Enjoying the pod?

How do you know if it is safe to turn your 1300HP R35 GT-R Skyline engine tune right up to 11 and hit the track?Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inWhat checks do you need to do before you know it is safe to turn up the boost or even just use what you know is safe on a different type of fuel? What sort of process do professional tuners follow when troubleshooting issues during a race weekend? This interview dives into these topics and much more!Mike McGinnis of Innovate Tuning is also a High Performance Academy tutor and all-round engine and transmission tuning expert. He knows his stuff and, luckily for all of us, is happy to share that knowledge at events like the World Time Attack Challenge.The LYFE Motorsport R35 GT-R Skyline is no stranger to time attack or even this channel having been featured before here and also Pikes Peak. It has seen numerous changes over the years. At WTAC it ran a stroked 4.1L VR38DETT with twin Garrett GTX3076 turbos, Shepherd Transmission DCT with PPG gearset Dodson Motorsport Promax clutch and a MoTeC electronics package.This GT-R pushes 1300hp on a Dynojet in the United States and 1120hp on a Mainline in Australia, which helps show that not all dyno numbers are 'equal' to the point they generally don't matter in the way most of us think, beyond being data for the tuner behind the laptop.Owner Cole Powelson had his best WTAC event in the car, hitting a 1:25.9450, which put him third in the EMtron Pro Class and the fastest US driver to take a stab at the event over the years.The car did double duty, with Donut Media YouTuber Jeremiah Burton also hitting a solid 1:31.4800, which is more than solid for someone new to the car, track and speeds involved.

After this interview, Feras went on to win the Plazamaman Pro-Am Class with a blistering 1:27.0160

@LYFEmotorsport and their 1200HP R35 GTR are no strangers to Time Attack or track records having reset their own R35 record at the 2019 WTAC (when this was filmed), BUT, it takes a lot more than just bolting a bunch of parts together and going ‘full send' to achieve these results as Cole Powelson explains in relation to wheel alignments.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inThe 4L Nissan VR38 powered and MoTeC-controlled car runs CCW 18*12.5 one-piece wheels which are wrapped in controlled Yokohama Advan tyres. To get the most out of the package, the team rely on data from the car via tyre temperatures, shock potentiometers above the Ohlins TTX dampers, and driver feedback to make logical changes. This attention to detail is part and parcel when it comes to ensuring that the tyre temperatures are even across their widths and that the car has the maximum contact patch possible where required on track.Cole explains why Infrared sensors are great for live data, and why teams will still physically check temperatures under the tyre surface as quickly as possible when the car hits the pits after a hot lap. When adjustments need to be made, a simple string alignment kit and ruler are used due to their simplicity, ease of transport and most importantly their accurate and repeatable results.At this event, Cole reset the team's own R35 GTR record but fell just short of the 1-29 that they really wanted to hit with a best time of 1-30.0230, so close! The car was doing dual duties due to a rule change this year and saw Rob ‘Chairslayer' Parson's WTAC debut with an impressive 1-34.1840.Want to learn how to do your own wheel alignments at home?

Failure on race day due to wiring gremlins is not an uncommon issue at some levels, but with the time and money that goes into running a professional level vehicle at events all over the globe it is inexcusable.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inLuckily there are people like Chris Paton of 12 Volt Performance out there to build motorsport specific looms that allow for the extra heat, fluids and wear that a dedicated motorsport car will see much more of compared to your average car or even performance streetcar. At the latest World Time Attack Challenge we were lucky enough to have a chat with Chris about what goes into looms like that of the Tilton Interiors/Racing EVO V2 Time Attack car and how you can progress from general automotive wiring into motorsport specific applications.Also discussed are some of the main point of differences between a general automotive loom and a motorsport specific variant including a quick break down on the advantages of Tefzel wiring compared to TXL which you will find in almost all street cars along with how in the past it has been difficult to find solid resources beyond pictures to help learn and build such a skillset.Also touched on is the cost of the materials and tooling required for professional-level looms, but for the end result it is certainly worth it. Concentric twisting is also discussed along with the detail that goes into planning your braid in order to benefit from the strain relief and flexibility of such a technique but not at the cost of added weight from poor planning and excess filler wires. What are filler wires you ask? Chris also explains this along with how before a single wire is cut everything the car will run not just now but also in the future plans is mapped out in the car and measured to ensure there are no mistakes and no need for extra additions to the loom in the future which are difficult at best and add a higher chance of failure.With 20 to 40 hours going into an engine loom/harness it is certainly worth the time and effort to plan ahead and use the best materials for the application first time around in this game. The 1200HP, 42PSI, 2.2L 4G63 powered Tilton EVO V2 also had a successful weekend at WTAC with a 1st place in Pro-Am and 3rd in Pro which is a credit to Chris and the rest of the large team behind builds like this, which went from bare chassis to the track in only 3 months.Want to learn more about motorsport wiring?

For episode 43 of the Flatirons Syndicate Motorsports Podcast, the topic is Time Attack. And we have 3 very special guests join us for a fantastic discussion of the origin of Time Attack in Not only the United States, but Australia as well. Our guests for this episode are Ian Baker who is the organizer for World Time Attack in Australia, and Jason Dienhart and Kiet Le who organize Global Time Attack and Super Lap Battle. We talk with Ian, Jason, and Kiet about what drew them to the sport of Time Attack initially, and how they started organizing events. The sport of Time Attack, and especially the cars that are running the event, have changed a lot since its origin in Japan in the mid to late 90's. As technology has improved, everything from the power that the engines can make, the tires, the weight of the cars, and especially the amount of aero added to the cars has changed significantly. And because of the mostly open rules sets in the unlimited class for these races, some of these cars are pushing the absolute edge of performance, and are setting times close to that of open-wheel formula cars. This is a great conversation about how Time Attack became established, about the iconic cars that helped these events make their mark, and the new cars that rolled onto the track and changed the game. Thanks for listening and Stay Tuned!

We are back for episode 121! This week we're once again joined by Ben from Pencil's Ballercast, and later we're joined by Michael 'Tresy' Trew, however, he just yells things from the couch. We start off talking about go-karting as we're going to Matt's bucks next weekend, before we talk a bit about the Gold Coast 600 Supercar race, with Chaz Mostert and Scott McLaughlin both binning their Mustangs in qualifying. Joseph then talks about his plans to run his GT86 in WTAC in 2021, and what'll be required for him to meet the requirements to compete, we then tangent a bit to talking about Hyundai and their foray into WTAC with the Drift Bus iMax and their actual time-attack i30N. We then actually talk about World Time Attack Challenge 2019, and the issues surrounding the Yokohama tyres that don't appear to be handling the greater and greater loads that the Pro-Class players are putting the tyres under. Matt then drops a bombshell on all of us. We then pretty much just talk absolute nonsense for the rest of the episode, so if you're into that, you'll enjoy the rest of this episode!

We're back from World Time Attack Challenge 2018! We start off this week with the usual rubbish, then we get into talking about our WTAC weekend. We talk about our arduous journey to the track, fighting our way through the marsh flies, our disinterest in the Show N Shine, and our love of the drift car garages. We then go on to talk more about the actual time attack cars, and the evening drifts. We cannot wait for WTAC 2019! Then Joseph talks about the extra-wet track day that he went to instead of coming down to World Time Attack Challenge (#DoggedTheBoys). We then talk about food, before getting back on topic about what our favourite cars were at the event. Then we talk a bit of news. Ford Mustang gets more expensive but makes 9kw less, but 9Nm more torque. Then we talk about the Mitsuoka Rock Star, a Mazda ND MX5 customised to look like a C2 Corvette. Mitsuoka is known for their previous work with the Nissan S13, making it look like Cruella DeVille's car. We then talk about Alpine targeting Alfa Romeo, saying Alfa Romeo doesn't have racing heritage. And we end with Matt asking us what imported Chevrolet we'd have if given the choice.

Part two of our pre-WTAC recording session. When you're listening to this, we'll be somewhere between Sydney and Brisbane heading back from World Time Attack Challenge. We kick off this episode by talking, again, about the Cartastrophy365 podcast shoutout, then tangent onto talking about British television shows. Then, to mix things up, we actually talk about beer, albeit briefly. We then talk about why Ben joined us this week, and argue about soft-roaders. This one story took most of the episode, because tangents. We then talk about Mitch's car history and obsession for the new Suzuki Jimny. Then we talk about Matt's obsession with EcoBoost Mustang. We then talk about WTAC. We're driving down this year, and leaving Brisbane at the butt-crack of dawn (4am), and tangent about food and and a steakhouse without beer! Next episode will be all about World Time Attack Challenge, so look forward to that one. I'm sure we'll have much to talk about!

It's just the original trio this week, which was a nice change of pace. We start off, after giving Hairgel some shade, with some conversation from Mitch, asking what's the point of non-RS and S Audi's. Joseph then talks about the X-Class Diesel pricing and specs being confirmed. We then play Matt's new game, 'Show Me What You Got', during which Matt talks about his Forester's bash-plate saving his bacon over the weekend. Then we briefly talk about our WTAC trip this year, before ending with a final game of 'Show Me What You Got'.

Join Paul and Thanasi as they discuss the year in review for a lot of championships. From Formula 1 to WTAC they talk about them all. Toss in some random Chrysler talk and viewer questions and you have yourself a killer episode.Facebook = www.facebook.com/dailybriefauto Instagram = Daily_Brief

This is the World Time Attack Challenge 2017 Special! Better late than never! This week, we talk about our recent weekend down in Sydney, where we visited the Gosford Classic Car Musem and World Time Attack Challenge 2017. This was Joseph's and Mitch's third time attending WTAC, however this visit popped Matt's and Michael Trew's WTAC cherry, and they got hooked. Between record breaking laps, rare and historic cars on display and the track, and the StylizeD Show n Shine event, and evening drifting competition, it's an awesome day out. All of us love WTAC, and we all cannot wait for World Time Attack Challenge 2018!Like us on Facebook! / Follow us on Instagram! / Apple Podca
