Mhetasim. Racing car simulator.

Rally special stages in Gran Canaria, Spain: Cercado Espino.

Vehicle: Peugeot S2000.

Engineer Setup and Testing: Eduardo Garcia.

***
I found this video in one of my car enthusiast friends weblog, Eduardo. Personally, I'm very seldom to get these opportunity to develop my driving skills by using simulator machine. Because its expensive. So, what I do is, watching any related video about racing line, racing technique, how-to racing footwork and so on related with - I'll take note, draw in paper. Then later I practice in empty space, but, its still dangerous. By using simulator plus real programmed, (from what I saw and read about) the simulator act like 99% real feeling in the circuit. And the good thing is you can choice any car you want.. oh gosh that so-good. I want Alfa75V6, Alfa 156 GTA, Lancia Delta bla bla bla.

I believe this one of the best simulator in many. So guys, please share with us your experience develop your racing driving skills using simulator. Ohh yah, as long you love cars , petrolhead and even not Alfisti, you still can comment. Happy motoring! Cheers.

[Info] Hot and Cold Sparkplugs

NGK diagram showing insulator and heat range

Why Hot and Cold Sparkplugs? Using a hotter or colder sparkplug can be just the fix to an engine problem. Very basely, if your engine is running hot then try using a colder plug, if it is running hot try a colder plug.

Tip: It is better to fix the problem than to change the sparkplug to patch it up.

Hot Plug

•   has a longer insulator nose length
•   less heat is absorbed by the plug and transferred to the cooling system
•   the plug runs at a higher temperature
•   the plug is more prone to pre-ignition (if greater than 850 degrees C)
•   NGK BP5ES is hotter than a BP7ES plug.
•   An overheated plug will be white with brown spots.  

Cold Plug

•   has a shorter insulator nose length
•   more heat is absorbed by the plug and transferred to the cooling system
•   the plug runs at a lower temperature
•   the plug is more prone to fouling (if less than 500 degrees C)
•   NGK BP7ES is cooler than a BP5ES plug.
•   A fouled plug will be black and sooty.

Influences to spark plug temperature
Any of the following situations can increase spark plug temperature:

• Lean air/fuel mixtures
• Increasing compression
• Forced induction (Supercharging, turbocharging or Nitrous)
• Camshaft change
• Advancing ignition timing
• Higher engine speed
• Higher engine load
• Lower air temperature (more dense air resulting in leaner air/fuel mixture)
• Lower humidity (more dense air resulting in leaner air/fuel mixture)
