    The champagne/gold hue of the livery on the #24 is growing on me by an alarming rate and i have no clue why 😅. I guess i'll find out myself if my plan for the 24hrs of spa early july get canned as I've heared the 4hrs of Spa this year is a free access event. That would be a nice return to ELMS with the excuse to do the pitwalk this time (arrived just before the race start in 2021). Also, i don't know if you or any in the team collect them but I've seen proper 1/43 scale versions of some of the Nielsen Orecas for sale. With how i'm rooting more and more for this team, soon enough i'm gonna have to get me one of them!

    dumb question but why swap only left side tires? a bit odd considering the track runs counter clockwise. Or is it that there are more demanding right handers on the track?

    @@TheMotorsportMechanic Thanks for reply. Love to see a little real time data analysis with the car during an actual stint, especially for handling or center of pressure. Always wonder what that would be like, we are not allowed live telemetry so its always a cluster going after something that happened hours ago. Thanks so much, win that next one!!

    I went to college and studied motorsport which is good as they have contacts with teams that you can go help out on weekends and hopefully get a job or apprenticeship from that or just offer your help for free at race weekends to teams to get some experience.

  • @TheMotorsportMechanic

    @TheMotorsportMechanic

    Жыл бұрын

    It is pretty much a usb stick anbd collects all of the data from the car so the engineers can look back at the car and hopefully spot any issues before they become a problem. There is infact 2 data sticks in the car 1 is ours and the other is the organisers so if there is a incident or something they can take the data and look at it.
