What it Actually Takes to Race a $500 Car for 24 Hours!
Переглядів 3,832,023
День томуAt last year's endurance race, we failed badly blowing up our engine in only 15 laps... This year, the ChrisFix Soapy Wooder Racers are ready for their comeback! We spent a year rebuilding and swapping a junkyard motor into the car and fixing tons of small broken parts to make our endurance lemon BMW ready to race for 14hrs. Will we last more than 15 laps? Will the engine blow up again? Can we make it to the finish line after 14hrs of racing? Find out!

@christophervennix9861 Рік тому
At a guess, the lightweight Miata believed they could outbreak the BMW and get onto the inside line, forcing you to the outside. Having said that, from the rear footage it looks as though the BMW had already started turning meaning the Miata had to leave space rather than crossing your racing line.

Advices for the pit stops: The driver that is going to step in should be already prepared before the car even enters the pit lane. As for the fuel, try fitting a transparent fuel tank with a bigger refill hole and use more powerful pumps. Every 3 hours check the brakes, especially the pads, brake fluid check is also advised. During repairs (like the throttle thing) check tire's pressure and adjust it. Advices in general: Try to not rev the car at its maximum, keep it 2k rpm lower than red line. Do some lift and coast to preserve fuel and in medium - high speed corners try to stay lower on rmps to use less fuel as possible

As a GT3 mechanic and pit crew you guys did great. One thing that will help with driver changes is using surgical tubing and ty wraps to the belts that will pull them back out of the way once you unlatch them. Great work, great attitude and congrats on making it the distance.
@chrisfix Рік тому
Can you explain the surgical tubing more? I was thinking of magnets on the roof for the top 2 straps.
@daveyriendeau210 Рік тому
@@chrisfix we also use magnets for the right shoulder strap to attach up to the rollbar next to the rearview mirror. Additionally a Velcro plate fixed up to the top of the rollbar as a failsafe. The surgical tube gets fixed to the left lap belt, crotch belt and another on the right lap belt to pull it back and out of the way as soon as the driver unlatches the belts it will pull them out of the way. I will send some photos to you or upload a video walking through it along with some other tips for pitstop efficiency. Keep up the great videos, love the channel.

The second Miata contact wasn't anything you could fix; he came in hot and he either slow down or didn't want to. He might be working out some daddy issues. I did SCCA, 20 and 30 minute races, never got to do a long race. Good job.
@yipchitaywonga Рік тому
exactly, miata over cooked it, even leaving him more room would have just moved the accident further ahead.
@LiamDennehy Рік тому
I disagree, I think the Miata is just able to brake much later being so light, so even though it seems the BMW is ahead at the start of the turn the Miata is alongside in the corner. Not blaming the BMW driver, but these two cars have vastly different performance.
@bradmaas6875 Рік тому
@@LiamDennehy The Miata is smaller and lighter, he had enough room, he came in hotter and failed to brake sufficiently to avoid contact.
@yipchitaywonga Рік тому
@@LiamDennehy I agree 100% with the Miata being able to brake later, IMO he dove in too late. If he had been alongside (at least front wheel to front door) before turn in, that would have been fine, BMW would/should have given him space. But in this case BMW should have gotten right of way, BMW was faster, the pass was going to happen anyways. Don't get me wrong I like so aggressive racing but I don't think it was appropriate for this kind of race.
@FullAssRacing Рік тому
Yeah... the BMW had that line and the miata was living in the vortex of danger. In the Miata's defense... I suppose it's possible he had a mechanical issue such as brake fade. At the end of the race a good bit of the cars are having some form of issue or another.
@25thAnnv Рік тому
@Chrisfix I am a local driving instructor for people trying to learn proper racing etiquette, racing line, and car control. You guys did well, and the red Miata incident was due to that car braking too late and missing the racing line. He went inside and had about 5 mph too much speed. Once he missed the braking point he couldn't do anything about it. The car couldn't hold that inside line with the available grip, so as soon as he hit the rumble strip it unloaded that side of the suspension slightly. That put to much stress on the outer front tire and he understeered into you guys.
@VirmanaMarketing Рік тому
Came here to make this comment. He unfortunately got startled by them passing and just completely lost his braking point... I thought he had dove in but for that kind of race diving in shouldn't be an issue since everybody wants to make it to the end. Great advice Stigg!

@theelectricmonk3909 Рік тому
Agree - the MX5 (sorry, Brit here 😁) was in the wrong, you had the corner by a mile. Ultimately, though, just a racing accident. I do feel it was deeply unfair that you had to take a "4 wheels off the track + collision" penalty for something that a) wasn't your fault, and b) the driver at the time was doing the sensible thing & checking the car was still driveable before returning to the track. IMHO Lemons should look at a rule change there.
@TheCarDemotic Рік тому
@@theelectricmonk3909 Yeah that penalty isn’t deserved in my opinion. For something that’s not your fault and for ensuring the safety of yourself and the fellow drivers I think the 10-20 second time loss from going off track is more than sufficient. Rules are rules though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@ondrejnejeschleba6278 Рік тому
i am not sure by that - i understand both. The BMW lifted way too early with having a car this close behind them. I know it's an endurance race, but still, you've got to expect that if you lift off that early in a corner with someone not that far back, they might send it. But yeah, the miata was a lot slower anyway and they would probably get passed on the first opportunity, so it was very unnecessary by them.

If you would like to change for a better oil for the engine, go with LIQUI MOLY. There’s a specific one that is gray and has like specific inhibitors in them that not only will it very well coat the cylinder walls, it’ll help with preventing unnecessary wear from rod bearings as well. A buddy of mine ran the same oil in his E36 M3 when he was running laps at the fairgrounds that day and when he did a full tune up on it, along with changing a few gaskets here and there including the valve cover gasket, the inside of the motor was bright silver.

That is beautiful story of that Lemon's BMW. I almost drop a tear many times in this video but the most beautiful view where when BMW were driving on the trailer with own strength. The Engine looks very healthy! Wow. And runs amazing. I can't wait for next year race!

@kenned1485 Рік тому
28:00 I personally feel like the Miata was at fault here. He was way to far back to go for that overtake down the inside, and by the looks of it, also going too fast to even make the turn properly. You did everything right in my book, and just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
@goneppo Рік тому
Agreed. Depends on the rule book for the series. I only know NASA’s where you need to have overlap with your front wheel and the other car’s front door to have the right to be on the inside of a turn like that. The Miata was nowhere near that. My understanding is that Lemons is even more conservative, so it’s totally their fault. That being said, sometimes you can still give room to avoid the contact. I’m not sure there was much your driver could do this time, but it’s good to keep in mind. It’s always better to be on track turning laps than back-paddock winning an argument about who’s at fault.

@santiagovilchisbarreto7257 Рік тому
About the Miata accident: you guys were ahead and completed the overtake, meaning there weren't any battles going on into the turn. The Miata was in the wrong, as his braking point was very late (my guess, idk if that's his normal BP) and probably focused on the BMW overtaking hin instead of his line and Breaking point.

Track Addict has a feature where you can set pit speeds, and it will flash/yell at you when you are exceeding it - a good reminder for when you pit while being too excited :) Awesome video, awesome time, thanks for posting! Oh, regarding the rear contact with the red Miata, IMO, it was his fault, not your guys. It's always the responsibility of the overtaking car to ensure a safe and clean pass. Your guy did that in the straight, just before corner entry, with a good gap. The Miata essentially tried to late-brake you guys, but you were already cutting in toward the apex. Typically, if the other car was alongside your guy BEFORE the corner entry, then you would have had to give him the inside or else make contact. He tried to get alongside you by late-braking too close to comer entry IMO. At that point, he was attempting a pass, and failed to ensure it happened safely and cleanly. He either went in a little too hot, wasn't paying attention, or was pissed at getting passed.

The red Miata was being to brave into the corner. You were ahead of him in the corner, and he thought he could take you on the inside. So its all his fault, because he was behind you, and he overdrove his abilities to overtake in a corner. Good video :)
@teknoprep Рік тому
Negative I was trying to follow him through and he took way too much apex unexpectedly We were back and forth all day between the miata and him. I thought he knew I would be there with how many times we pass each other Assumptions is what caused that accident
@Gancherov Рік тому
@@teknoprep What are you talking about? The red miata at 28:07 clearly was well behind you on the straight and dive bombed the inside of that corner right into your rear door/quarter panel. You COULD have left him more room (maybe), but that contact was completely his fault since he was STILL well behind you going into the corner.
@Gancherov Рік тому
@@teknoprep Sorry, now I get it - you're the driver of the red car. You're saying that you expected him to leave you some more room there because he would be familiar with the speed you could carry through that corner? I see how you might say that assumption hurt you, but in basic terms you overdrove the corner and hit his car from behind through the INSIDE of a corner. That's still 100% your fault. What is "too much apex"? He's out in front and clear of traffic, he's entitled to as much apex and whatever line variation he wants.

@@Gancherov I don't think you understand how slow he was going. I was not overdriving the corner With that said this doesn't happen unless it's lemons
