Draguar vs Randy Pobst! Roadkill Ep. 41

Posted by

On this episode of Roadkill, hosts Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger revive Roadkill’s finest, boosted European and Japanese road machines: the “Draguar” 1973 Jag XJ12 with a supercharged 383ci Chevy small-block, and the “Rotsun” 1971 Datsun 240Z loaded with a Chevy 4.3L V6 and a turbo from a Ford Powerstroke diesel. With this kind of sophisticated equipment in play, there was only one logical story line: a shootout with Motor Trend’s top test driver, Randy Pobst–past winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona, plus dozens of other class wins and sports-car championships. With that kind of talent on board, it’s obvious that the guys will have to work hard to reduce Pobst to Roadkill’s level. But fear not, Roadkill fans, F&F have a plan to come out on top, and it’s as solid as Montezuma’s Revenge.

The North Yorkshire circuit of Croft has it all: flat-out sweepers, first-gear hairpins and nadgery chicanes. Here’s a circuit guide through the eyes of reigning Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship title-holder Colin Turkington, who qualified on pole position at Croft in 2014.

“At the end of the lap before I gun for pole, as I launch off the last hairpin, I take a different line.

“I will take a later apex because that then allows me to open up the steering and get on the throttle a fraction earlier, meaning I am able to carry more speed over the start-finish line. I do that at most circuits, but Croft is the one where there is the most to gain.

“There is not too much work to do in turns one and two. The first corner is pretty straightforward and I make a beeline to get as close to the stack of tyres on the inside of turn two. The second corner is a very long one, but I am already thinking about the chicane, turn three. The exit of this corner is crucial because it leads on to the back straight and I want to take as much pace as I can on to that.

“It isn’t really a chicane, it is a left-hander bordered by a stack of tyres. In touring cars you always use a lot of kerb, but for qualifying I would use even more. It does upset the car a bit but when I have new tyres on it is just about okay. You have to hang on tightly.

“Getting down to the fourth turn, Tower, I will know that this is a crucial corner. It is a long, tight right-hander and I am pretty much flat out for half a mile after that, so I absolutely have to get it right. The clipping point is a long way around the corner as I try and take the load out of the steering on the exit, allowing me to get on the power as early as possible.

“From there, it is on to the ultra-fast Jim Clark Esses. There are tyre stacks on the apex of the left- and right-handed elements. All drivers would prefer if the tyres weren’t there. I know they are put there to stop people cutting the corner, but the penalty for getting it wrong is huge.

“In a left-hand-drive car like the BMW I was in last year, it is always easier to judge the left-hand corners as opposed to the right – particularly when you are playing chicken with a tyre stack! It is all about commitment and bravery, and you will be rewarded if you are courageous.

“Then I go down to Barcroft, which is a small lift. It is a fast corner, but I need to lift because then I am immediately on the brake for Sunny In and Sunny Out. I will try to brake in a straight line, but the rear axle goes light and it isn’t always easy because Sunny In comes up so fast.

“On the video of last year’s lap, you can see that I get a touch too much kerb on the inside and you can hear a ‘thump’ as the car bottoms out on the concrete, which sends me slightly sideways. I am no Joe Hart, but that was a good save…

“Then it is on to the last technical section. There isn’t a lot to be gained here, but you have to be precise because one slip means your lap is ruined. I try to be neat and tidy at the hairpin at the end of the lap and be careful with the application of power.

“Too much wheelspin or a slide here would kill the lap time. Luckily, I nailed it just right and that was my second pole of the 2014 season.”
