Croc Posted September 27, 2022 Author Posted September 27, 2022 And for those that saw it in the pits, the BMW CSL got some track time as I continue to iron out the post-restoration bugs - achieved its fastest time 1 min33 around Thunderbolt. Just another 5-6 seconds to go in developing it.... 1
CarlB Posted September 27, 2022 Posted September 27, 2022 I wish I could have been there to drive, but I also missed the live sound of the F-1 car. But I am disappointed we do not have a video of the BMW. As close to a V-12 Farrari as you can get.

Its a 3.5L straight 6 - a V8 is closer to a V12. I ran out of time to do the video on the weekend. The May 2022 video is on Youtube but it is still boring as we are still eliminating problems and working the times down.

I respectfully disagree. 6 cylinder engines that rev up and 12 cylinder engines have a special sound to me.

coffee break Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 Looks like a good time was had by all. As to the F1 car, that's the way they are supposed to sound, and I wonder how old the tires it was running on.

Then it was fresh tires after that. No tire warmers though. Ambient temps were 70 degrees.
RGTorque Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 these are wonderful pictures. is there any chance that the graininess over some of the pics is a filter? id like to them very much.

Its definitely the resizing as the graininess is not there on the hi res photos. If you look at the pics in the gallery, each is identified with a file name. PM me a list of those file names and I will arrange to send a dropbox link.
