Are Winter Trackdays a Waste Of Time?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Industrial action and a lack of planning led to this video. Bedford Autodrome is a circuit I haven't visited before for a trackday, but as it's Kevving's local I popped down the A1 to try it out.
The day started out the coldest I've ever seen at a track, and the organisers were understandably frozen, in more ways than one. The M3 had quite an eventful day and I had some fun with a pair of JDM roadsters.

    Bedford is my local track and a great place to test setup changes or just jump on the afternoon session for a bit of cheap fun. Although flat it has a great mix of technical sections and very fast corners. It’s also pretty safe and hard to hit anything trackside.

    Hey Danny.👋 Winter trackdays a waste of time? If this one's any indication, definely not. That clear, frosty morning view going in was spectacular. With below freezing temps, you knew you wouldn't be setting any track records, but it looked like good, relatively cheap fun and y'all made the best of it. The Wii tunes set the mood.😁👍 Also, the 🍉 puffs coming out the Subaru got me. Haha. The stuck throttle was a bit unnerving though... can't blame you for not continuing to push it. Good to see the Irish Tiff's offspring with a big smile on his face again. Cheers for livening up my lazy Sunday afternoon, Dan. Have a good week ahead, sir.

    A vehicles OBD is not designed to be constantly accessed, so wouldn't be at all suprised if those dataloggers which connect through the port can overload them. That alone could be your issue. Best to find out for sure somehow since you certainly don't want a moment like that again! Well done for staying cool.

    Woah throttle :o Winter days are perfect for shaking stuff down and learning new tracks. You do have to have the right tyres/setup though or it's a proper waste of time! I had a Snetterton day that started 2 hours late when -3C overnight and overnight rain had frozen the track, turned out my 'wet' tyres were crap so it was futile, but I learned a lot for not much cash. Same conditions 6 weeks later at Brands and had a great time of it with decent tyres! Hope the throttle turns out to be a simple fix.

    I was chasing a problem with the E throttle on a couple of my 46s . Always happened when it was sub zero temps …. Sometimes after sitting on the motorway for a while at a constant speed but mostly when first started . My theory was always an old super cold icy actuator . It was definitely worse when I had a bumper fed air box

    Could've been the Egas linkage bar that opens the throttle body flaps, my old E46 M3 sat for a few months over winter in 2019 and when I went to get it going in spring it failed the check that it does before letting it even start to crank. You can watch it go through a full open/close procedure when it initialises by turning the key to No2 (step before cranking). Turns out mine was frozen solid! Gave it an encouraging tap before spraying it with some good ol WD and that sorted it out. Ended up taking the whole intake manifold off and cleaned out the throttle bodies at the same time. The TPS modules in these are shit, having 3 of them doesn't help either! I always kept at least one of these and a couple of MAF sensors in my glovebox as my car went through one MAF a year. Only started doing that when I fitted an eventuri CAI. Didn't even buy the knock off cheapos from fleabay either, they were all Bosch OEM stamped.

  • @jammy91288
    @jammy91288 Жыл бұрын

    Could well not be an electrical issue. Check the bodies open/close by freely by hand (just push on the actuator rod and they should snap back to being closed quickly)- the link bar joining each of the bodies can get a bit stuck in the solid bushings and can cause them to stick open. Spray of GT85 in the bushings and a bit of wiggling them open/closed will sort it. You’ll get the limp mode you saw when the throttle pedal tps and the TB/actuator TPS’s don’t correlate (there’s 3 TPS in total)- it’s safety measure to stop a full on brown trouser moment.

    Hi Dan, I work for a marketing company called Gold Times and I wanted to reach out to you for a big time deal to take you all the way. We could start with your look. I know your into mullets and I think that is a great look for you, but I’m thinking we could go blond at the back and name you the Golden Eagle, I know this look is Hollywood but you can pull this off and make it big time good. This is only the start of the master plan, if you want to make it big time then reach out and we can talk and maybe discuss other thing like what happen if you have green eyes, what happens if you had power of the world at your feet like a 2 liter VTec engine, and cats.

    Not that it makes much difference but roll bars normally assume oem seats and roll cages assume buckets and harnesses . A cage is safer than a bar . Factory cars have a roll bar from factory , but if you’re using a convertible you might want to upgrade to a cage

    So what do you actually reckon about winter track days? I live in a part of Canada right at the very southern tip, where it almost never snows, and certainly almost never enough to make it impossible for the track to be clear of snow and dry. I also organise track days up here in Canada. I know that like 90% of track day guys put their cars away in the winter because of the salt. But, the 10%, maybe they'd have a go
