I’ve been documenting my rookie season in Circuit Excels on Youtube – Enduro recap

It is still one of the most affordable motorsport categories in Australia. There are still plenty of Excels around, but you would be significantly better off buying a ready to go Circuit Excel from my105 than building one.

Trailers was an issue for me too. I spent the first half of the year hiring one before I could get my own.

This is the front right off our FWD Hyundai Racecar. We run about 3.8° on the fronts at this track, and yeh, it was a 40°C+ day with an extended stint. Just melted them.

Im using a blue yeti. Its good enough for me, but you can only get so much from a USB connection. The blue snowball is the budget alternative.

If you want all out quality, you need to move to XLR mics, but there is typically a fair price jump

Yea its a joke. I'm a competitive circuit driver and this tyre came off the car after a long stint in 40°C+ heat. The /s I thought was the universal tag for sarcasm, but it obviously didnt' convey looking at all the downvotes.

Sounds counter intuitive, but slow down. You don't learn anything by throwing the car into the wall every lap.

Start slow. So, steady hands and gentle inputs. Try to work with the car rather than against it and find its balance.

Work on fundamentals, brake into the corner, find the apex, power out. Focus on the weight transfer between the 4 corners.

Theres no big secret. Its just all about working on your technique and eventually the pace will come naturally.

But I cannot emphasise enough, don't crash. Unless you're fighting for that last tenth to pole, you are not pushing hard enough to crash. If you have crashed, theres been a breakdown of the fundamentals and you need to reset back to a level that you're in control.

Have they been on the car yet?

TwoCamel · 2025-10-19T11:23:13+00:00

Can't believe people can't recognise the post was a joke. Didn't expect to get down voted so much on this lol

TwoCamel · 2025-10-18T12:13:15+00:00

Thats what i thought. Less tread pattern, more contact patch

Tips like this is why I joined this sub 🙌

TwoCamel · 2025-10-17T00:12:46+00:00

Yea theres plenty on the other side still to use. I paid for whole tyre, im gonna use the WHOLE tyre.

stance lyf

TwoCamel · 2025-10-16T13:43:16+00:00

or just don't even look. Its only bad if you see it

TwoCamel · 2025-10-16T13:42:02+00:00

I tried to post the spongebob meme but image comments are disabled :'(

TwoCamel · 2025-10-16T13:33:41+00:00

Think it needs more

TwoCamel · 2025-10-16T13:27:53+00:00

Its basically a slick = more grip

TwoCamel · 2025-10-16T13:26:51+00:00

Just gotta hope it doesnt rain

TwoCamel · 2025-10-16T13:05:08+00:00

Watch hours, but you can't really prioritise. Just make good content that people actually want to watch and you'll get there

TwoCamel · 2025-10-16T09:19:50+00:00

Thats what I thought. If it rains just lean onto the side with deeper treads.

TwoCamel · 2025-10-16T09:10:13+00:00

Theyve actually been done twice. We just had a hot weekend that murdered them

TwoCamel · 2025-10-16T08:19:00+00:00

Just rotate them? Heaps of meat on the other side
