Race Technology Data Logging Seminar 29-05-09
At Nur-Motorsport we have experienced tremendous help from our Data logging system since we have implemented it and believe that the value obtainable from a good system such as this is invaluable to analyse what the car and driver are doing on the track and to be able to learn from this.
To this end Ben attended the Race Technology seminar on use of the DL1 System to analyse track data in Nottingham to discuss this system. It was a good refresher to his previous understanding of the field and will enable us to better use the system in the future.

Nur-Motorsport R34 does Castle Combe
On October 10th we attended a trackday at Castle Combe with the R34 GT-T with Stuart from Performance Cars, who drove his Sierra RS Cosworth. The Skyline did nearly 2 hours of flat out track time and didn’t miss a beat all day, despite suspension geometry problems negating some of its handling prowess.
The RS Cosworth was blisteringly quick but suffered two differential failures with the diff being changed in circuit by Stuart. Impressive! Click here to read more.
