There is This Line...

"There is this line. I'm quite sure it exists. It's thin and has two sides. It is a line of thought that can be applied to everything in this life but for me it works best with cars. Simply put, everything on the line is good, just to one side of it can be OK but the other side is very bad."

Why Your TVR Handles Like it Does

"As with most things in life it's a balancing act. You have to have a balanced brake hydraulic circuit (non-adjustable from manufacturer). You must have a balanced brake pad material front and rear, from cold through to hot, not to mention tyres, springs and dampers - it goes on and on! Check what you have fitted and if you're not sure, ask someone that knows."

What Matters / Who's Counting?

"To me the thrill of Motorsport has always been challenging my own expectation of myself. If you can succeed through being part of a team, collectively sculpting what you have into something better, making something that's more than the sum of it's parts, that works for me."

The Black Art of Suspension Set-up

"In this first article, we will look at why we have dampers and how they contribute to grip levels. We will discuss how dampers work in detail in another article, but at this stage, we must appreciate that a damper is an energy converter and turns the energy stored in a spring and the energy contained in a vehicle's motion into heat energy (in the same way a brake disc does). A damper is not a 'shock absorber', in reality, that job is taken on by the spring."
