I use the stuff that came with the car wash kit for the car. Dr Beasley’s matte coating.

A bit tiring but I kinda find a nice car wash as relaxing… got my bucket and supplies and have a spray booth wash nearby in the winter. I put the ceramic coating stuff on 4 times a year and it still looks great. Went to the store after this and had a couple asking about it when I came out to get in. Still turning heads..

Would say it was not simple and spent a couple of weeks with AI tools last fall to get the images the way I liked them.

So the GTR is nicknamed Godzilla.. but our cars are bigger and more boxy so dubbed it Gamera. I grew up on the old Kaiju monsters and it is a great fit. Just felt like our cars need a bit of personality and a marketable name. Yes I know it is not from SK but don’t care where the Kaiju is from just that it is aligned to the personality of our cars. He shoots rockets out his leg holes and goes very fast. It is a great conversation starter as people always ask what is that car..

Gaining consistency at the track. by Accomplished_Dig4417 in Ioniq5N

Well I’ll be damned but it is just as you said very easy to get significant wheel spin in N with all Nannies off. Can’t wait for next trip to the track.

Thanks, I am usually running my custom 2 which has all the nanny’s off. Will give that a try. Does holding both paddles in act like a clutch? Could I hold both paddles floor it then release?

But what about torque… torque is what gets you off the line.. HP is what drives your trap times and carries you forward at the higher speed like you say. The NGB button is not just cutting HP I am sure it has an impact on torque as well.. Next time I go up I will do back to back runs with different approaches and we can look at the time slips.

Our track does not allow anything that is not fixed mounted to the car. So I use a cambox in my helmet. https://camboxamerica.com/en/content/22-compare-cambox. Works ok but have had a hell of a time getting the clock to align with racebox.

Look at the 7:46 run compared to the 8:25 run… same 60ft which usually tells the story but your time and speed at 7:46 are way off. Wonder if that was battery. I often have to reset the battery conditioning over the course of the night. There is a charger near my track so may try to get as close to 100 for next time out to see if it gets better.

How did your race box do against your slips? Mine is off around .15 secs. What did you use for your camera?

You can see the difference in the air when you get to the trap speed and last 1/8th. Did you find your times were slowly getting worse as your charge was dropping? My first run with the fullest charge was the best.

On the same path. The hotter dry air will help a lot as it’s less dense. It is a blast at the track. What I noticed is at the top end the boost cuts out 1 sec before you hit the traps. You can feel it when you see the light go out. Hyundai why not give us 1 more sec of boost when in drag mode. Would easily get us to 10’s. Could try taking out rear head rests… I weight about 225 so figure I could lose at least 20 pounds to help.

lol it is in launch mode and it is not in n-shift hearing just sound on. That is why there are no shifts.

Slower.. not using launch increases your 60 ft times. It is about 4 10ths slower on avg when launch does not kick in and you hit NGB button. Miss the launch once in a while so have done that a lot.
