Talking ★ New video of my C63 taking Soldiers sideways around a race track :D ★

Hi all,

I did another charity event last week for the Help for Heroes & Not Forgotten Association, took the soldiers around the Brands Hatch Racing Circuit in England.

Car spent all day going into limp mode but was a great day!

Unfortunately I didn't check my GoPro settings and recorded the whole day in narrow view lol but hopefully still makes a good watch, let me know what you think, rate, subscribe etc

Loads of cooling modifications coming soon


Cheers,

T

nice one, man! I'd love to do that for the vets as well. like you said, though, it's a bummer that the car can only go two laps.

Pop your whole grill out. Its super easy, and it really does help with cooling.

When you pull into the pits put your windows down and crank the heat on - that helps vent some of the residual heat out of there.

And of course, lift that hood up to the full vert. That one always makes me with we could get that underhood padding with a jumbo AMG logo on it...would look awesome.

And good on ya for finding a way to say thanks to the troops. I don't think enough people realize that no matter how you feel about the way they are used, those men and women go into the Forces for all the best reasons and they deserve respect for the sacrifices they are prepared to (and do) make.

Thanks Wes really appreciate your comment, they loved it to be honest, by the end of the day they were queuing for a ride in the 63 hehe, at the start everyone was like I want to go in the Ferrari not that estate car

Thanks again, erm cooling wise gonna run either some 5w40 Motul 8100 which is a bit more gloopy than the Mobil 1 0w40 water or maybe some 5w50 like the SLS runs Might go for a uprated custom oil cooler but see how I get on first, going to activate "Desert mode" as well to get the fans to cone on a bit sooner

Yeah I wanted to take them for more but had to go a bit easy to let the car keep up with my heavy right foot, until next year! Got Vmax coming up soon which is another supercar event so hope to shock a few Sunday drivers

Great idea! I was tempted to take the front bumper off like I do with my drift car but thought it might look a bit ghetto lol

Next track I'm on grill is coming out super idea, I take it just a few screws? Never looked. You know when you put the bonnet up to 90 degrees, there are no clips right, you just push it past the normal point until it's vertical? I did the old heat track last time with the heaters so will make sure I keep doing this, just gets a bit sweaty

And with you re re the troops, it is sad as many of them commented on the fact no one really knew what they were doing out there but regardless of reason if I can give them some enjoyment regardless of how then I'm game, it's the least I can do! Another one next year so will make sure I don't record in narrow view again

Cheers all,

M
