Can't go wrong with an SR20

And there was B-roll. Tons of it.

I must have watched the on board about 50 times, what a engine note

Delivering as always. Awesome shots of the car spaced out over the conversation. Thanks for highlighting who some of these famous builders are around the world even though the rest of the world may not know them. They’re legends in their own places, so cool too know more and thanks for clarifying on those.

Amazing build man! When I hit the EuroMillions jackpot I know who's building my Time Attack Reliant Robin

The flying lap....icing on the cake as always mate. Awesome work.

That boy was pushing it on that lap! Nice build, that gearbox package is damn near instant 🙂

Oh my god the little mouse on the dash hahahah I love it

I love it when teams are willing to talk about the technical stuff of their cars, since it's very unlikely that someone else will be able to replicate it. I mean there is a lot of little things that go into building the engine and a good setup that is not visible by the naked eye, like internal clearances, fuel delivery, compression ratio, cooling system and more importantly the map tune that makes it all work together. Guys need to stop sweating it and just be more open to share some of the knowledge.

I would love to see the rear suspension they were talking about. Any pictures available?

I think Andre fkn knows!............ You know?

Damn I wanted to see the double wishbone suspension but either way great video!!!

@GordoWG1 WG1 Agreed! A 300-400hp S15 is fairly nippy, he has eliminated the reliability issue without adding 2 more cylinders so i imagine its fairly quick even at 900hp/1100kg

Awesome to see that they’re running an electric water pump because my first question was if you’re gonna be running the VET head usually most guys run them up to 10,000 RPMs and at that engine speed typically you have to go with either an electric water pump or an under drive pulley in this case an electric water pump is if I’m not mistaken used in the bottom left below the blow off valve from what I can see Id just like to know what kind of set up he used for it because I’m trying to think of A similar solution for my SR which will be running around 9k rpm if I can. The camshafts rockers and almost all the rest of the Valvetrain are to be cryo treated since I opted for the det head.

You know :P

The rear end looks very well mannered in the flying lap. He's hanging onto the rest of it though! Awesome car.

sick car! that poor little mouse on the dash is like "holy shit!"

I'm more interested in the cost of building cars, and how to get into racing as cheap as possible. It would be great to talk about the cost effectiveness of mods in different areas of the car, and which would be the best for someone that has no prior experience and minimum budget like 1000 dollars. It's still very educational to talk about these high end builds, but the majority of us can benefit more from entry level-focused videos, but done in a knowledgable and professional fashion such as this one. And again, another smashing job on the video, hopefully I can see more videos on entry level motorsports soon!

Yes it's far from OEM but still more SR20 than anything else - Taz.

These time attack lads are joke, it’s taken them 15 years and another 400bhp to go as quick as a race lap 500bhp spec single seater. I mean that’s 15 years of tyre, electronics, aero and chassis development and they still can’t get the lap times - the early 90’s TS-010 was about 10 seconds faster and that’s 1992. It just illustrates the massive gulf between the aftermarket and performance industries versus actual educated motorsports professionals. People need to learn that bolting shit to car and throwing boost at it doesn’t make laptimes. Maybe a video with some actual proven motorsports chassis engineers could be a good eye opener.

@hpa101

4 жыл бұрын

These Time Attack cars do not run racing slicks and must keep some aspects of a production car, given those aspects are relaxed compared to some other classes. They're hardly comparable to a big budget (even that one from 15 years ago would have 5 times the money pumped into it as this car has at least) purpose built single seater with a driver that has many hours seat time in that specific chassis, in my opinion, but you're of course welcome to your own 😎 If Time Attack starts allowing single seaters and slicks at least and they can let rip for lap after lap, which I doubt, then it will be more 'apples to apples' - Taz.

@rickybobby7660

High Performance Academy. Granted but it’s not really the point I was trying to make, laptimes should be derived from solid mathematical fundamentals and a higher understanding of vehicle dynamics rather that bolting on the best of what the aftermarket can churn out and upping the output. All things being equal time attack cars do what they do well but it would be nice to see how effective a more academic approach could be. As an aside - Spec single seaters, no mater what the level aren’t really about big budgets and development costs, just cost effective speed. If, as a race car chassis constructor you’re only competitor is yourself then it’s not in the business’s best interest to make it as fast as possible rather cheap, reliable and robust.

I think you should watch a few more videos of some of the builds on our channel, including the interview with Andrew Brilliant. There is certainly a bit more to it, assuming that you don't in-fact run a road turned Time Attack car that is performing to the single seater level you expect that is. Bit tongue in cheek that remark and I don't mean to insult, but it is one thing to look at something and state how easy it should be, and it is another to actually go out and do it in the real world. The lap time these cars are chasing around Sydney Motorsport Park are still impressive when compared to the touring car class cars, which are big money albeit more regulated, but also not single seaters. Essentially, we're going to have to agree to strongly disagree with each-other here haha, but that's OK =) - Taz.
