New Lap Times @ LMCC – HPI Firebolt + Shumacher Shimizu

Hey Everyone !

the sun has finally started shining and the days&evenings at the track are multiplying rapidly. With this quick post we wanted to share some pics and, more importantly, some lap times!

All Drivers of TeamVebra got their respective new PB! (Personal Best) a very encouraging omen for this new 2012 season!

  • KA : 36.091
  • CLARIS : 34.947
  • ASTORIA : 29.520

All Drivers’ times were lapped with the latest version of our MiniCoop fitted with the recently purchased:

Stay tuned for more info!

rain = water = wet grass = more work

A couple of pictures taken a few weeks ago when the “desire to race” overtook us and we went to the LMCC despite the pretty horrid meteorological conditions.

Had it been dry the cars would have stayed on the track at all times, but given how wet it was, our 1/10th lawn mowers were out in force.

Highlights were the Fastrack Rally Block Tyres fitted to the TL01. Very good grip ! (a little bit too big to fit under the Focus Shell though)

Upcoming posts will show the cars being cleaned up
(whenever we get around to it)

Thanks for watching!

MiniCoop @LMCC – Aug/Sept 2011

A couple of pictures of our MiniCoop @ LMCC… why not ?

 

From memory, the big foam tyres gave a lot of grip (too much grip in fact) but the small Fiat 500 wheels (with Tamiya Kit Stock Tyres) are the ones that hold the track record.

Stay tuned for more MiniCoop action soon!

MiniKast @LMCC – July/Aug 2011

It’s only fair to show you some MiniKast @LMCC pictures as well.

Notice the bad white roof coming off in July and removed fully by August 2011. The MiniKast has been resting a little bit in the recent days (but so have we) She’ll be back out this Spring/Summer and, who knows, she might just surprise us still!

FocusWRC @LMCC – July/Aug 2011

Well, we’re on a roll here and posting @LMCC of all our body shells. This is our mighty 4×4 Focus WRC 2002. (TL01)

For the record, that wheel did fall off whilst racing and any attempt at using the Foam tyres with friction dampers and a high ride resulted in countless grass barreling excursions :)

Notice how it had fewer decals back then… it’s a lot more “rally” now.
