Intro:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Small return on the last two rounds of the winter French Championship. The return to the carpet for E4RS III! The final test of the aluminum chassis!<\/em><\/p>\n TEST 1 – Montbrison:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n During the first round in Montbrison, on 31 October and 1St<\/sup> November, the circuit has proved to be technical with very tight turns, therefore need to find a fast car, with important turning radius.<\/em><\/p>\n Practices were rather promising, the carpet has some grip and multiple settings may be tempted. Unfortunately, at the time of the qualifications I am not able to find a healthy car and fast, it is either one or the other, and 2 tenths of a second by lap at this level is very important. I try so many things during qualifications until I find the right settings in the fifth and final round. It was not counting on a few minor errors on my part that it prevent me from achieving a better position that the 8th place at the start of the finals.<\/em><\/p>\n However, I can see a positive point, indeed the car behaves perfectly and the aluminum chassis acts as a really hoped, it allows the car to be accurate in every turn, more or less tight, while remaining easy to drive.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n The start of the finals is given, the first run is awesome, the car responds perfectly to each turn, is amazingly simple and allows me to finish 3rd, a good start! A little more than one hour later, this is the second run of final, unfortunately I do not feel in shape, fatigue, due to the short previous nights and traveled 800kms, comes play a crucial role in the end of the day. Migraine causes, so I misses the last two races while committing a few small errors that once more do not forgive at this level of competition. I finish then 7th in the general with a 3rd place in the first final and two 9th places in the last two finals.<\/em><\/p>\n The aluminum chassis kept its promises and proved to be very efficient! <\/em><\/p>\n ———————————–<\/em><\/p>\n Second round of the winter French Championship, on 21 and 22 November, at Loos, my club which I am the vice – president. From Montbrison, I spent my time to organize different events that my own club have to do, on 8 November for a friendly round, the round of the French Championship, as well as an important off-road race counting near 110 drivers the following week. Suffice to say right away that time was not in the preparation of the car, and it has been. <\/em><\/p>\n Let’s start this round by control practices, where I clearly spent more time to help the organization than in the stands. Control practices have not been at the height of what I was hoping but results were not catastrophic, probably due to my knowledge of the track and the carpet.<\/em><\/p>\n Qualifications, however, not happened for the better, not at all. Lack of concentration and settings still perfectible, I make many small errors and finish 10th<\/sup> in the qualifying then, but my lap times showed that I could hope to be in the top of the race, too bad but consistency remains the essential point of a race, it’s my fault.<\/em><\/p>\n For the finals, in addition to the aluminum chassis, I try TM prototype springs, starting 10th, it is an opportunity to try out them!<\/em><\/p>\n In the first final, the car is awesome, fast, constant, I begin a comeback though vainly, the level is very high, each driver to catch is difficult and I\u2019m stuck behind Maxime Favrelle in 6th position, a little slower than me but who defends himself incredibly well. Then I spend half of the run in its wheels to seek the right way to pass him without finding it, I finished 6th in the first round of finals.<\/em><\/p>\n During the second run, the car still respond as well, it is perfect, quick and easy to drive, if I had known I give these springs before during the qualifications! Anyway, I try to make a comeback again and then finished 5th in the second final run, 5 min being too short to expect better when we see minor gap in time between each driver.<\/em><\/p>\n In the last round, it was more complicated, a little clash in the beginning of the race made \u200b\u200bme lose my concentration and I finished the round committing some mistakes, nothing too serious because of the good previous finals and more than satisfactory performance of the chassis.<\/em><\/p>\n So I close this round of the winter French Championship in 6th position with the feeling that the car is working better and better. And this is without counting on the E4RS III Plus, coming very soon, which will bring us better performance for sure! <\/em><\/p>\n ———————————–<\/em><\/p>\n Thanks therefore to Team Magic, HRC and Lionel Troyon who trust me to make some test with this chassis which has already proven its value!<\/em><\/p>\n Note: following these diverse tests, the aluninum chassis is now available under the reference \u00a0TM507341.<\/em><\/p>\n —————————————————————–<\/em><\/p>\n Original Text\u00a0in French:<\/strong><\/p>\n Feedback de R\u00e9mi Callens, qui a pu tester l’un des ch\u00e2ssis aluminium prototype de la Team Magic E4RS III, lors de deux manches de championnat de France indoor en cat\u00e9gorie Modified, en parall\u00e8le d’autres tests r\u00e9alis\u00e9s par deux autres pilotes du team en France et en Suisse.<\/p>\n Intro:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Petit retour sur les deux derni\u00e8res manches du championnat de France hivernal. Le retour \u00e0 la moquette pour la E4RS III\u00a0! Le test d\u00e9finitif du ch\u00e2ssis aluminium\u00a0!<\/em><\/p>\n TEST 1 – Montbrison:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Lors de la premi\u00e8re manche \u00e0 Montbrison, les 31 octobre et 1er<\/sup> novembre, le circuit s\u2019est r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 \u00eatre technique avec des virages tr\u00e8s serr\u00e9s, il fallait donc trouver une voiture rapide, avec un important rayon de braquage sans que l\u2019arri\u00e8re ne d\u00e9croche \u00e0 chaque virage.<\/em><\/p>\n Les essais ont \u00e9t\u00e9 plut\u00f4t prometteurs, la moquette poss\u00e8de une adh\u00e9rence certaine et plusieurs r\u00e9glages peuvent \u00eatre tent\u00e9s. Malheureusement, \u00e0 l\u2019heure des qualifications je peine \u00e0 trouver une voiture saine et rapide, c\u2019est soit l\u2019un, soit l\u2019autre, et 2 dixi\u00e8mes de seconde par tour \u00e0 ce niveau-l\u00e0 ne pardonnent pas. Je tente donc plusieurs choses durant les qualifications jusqu\u2019\u00e0 trouver les bons r\u00e9glages dans la cinqui\u00e8me et derni\u00e8re manche. C\u2019\u00e9tait sans compter sur quelques erreurs mineures de ma part qui m\u2019emp\u00eacheront d\u2019atteindre une meilleure position que la huiti\u00e8me place au d\u00e9part des finales.<\/em><\/p>\n Un point positif en ressort pourtant: la voiture se comporte \u00e0 merveille et le ch\u00e2ssis aluminium joue vraiment le r\u00f4le esp\u00e9r\u00e9, il permet \u00e0 la voiture d\u2019\u00eatre pr\u00e9cise dans chaque virage plus ou moins serr\u00e9, tout en restant facile \u00e0 piloter.<\/em><\/p>\n Le d\u00e9part des finales est donc donn\u00e9, la premi\u00e8re se d\u00e9roule \u00e0 merveille, la voiture r\u00e9agit parfaitement \u00e0 chaque encha\u00eenement, elle est d\u2019une facilit\u00e9 \u00e9tonnante et me permet de terminer troisi\u00e8me, un bon d\u00e9but\u00a0! Un peu plus d\u2019une heure plus tard, voil\u00e0 la deuxi\u00e8me manche de finale, malheureusement je ne me sens pas en forme, la fatigue, due aux courtes nuits pr\u00e9c\u00e9dentes et au 800kms de route parcourus, vient jouer un r\u00f4le primordial dans la fin de journ\u00e9e. Migraine oblige, c\u2019est ainsi que je passe \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 des deux derni\u00e8res manches en commettant quelques petites erreurs qui une fois de plus ne pardonnent pas \u00e0 ce niveau l\u00e0 de comp\u00e9tition. Je termine alors septi\u00e8me au classement g\u00e9n\u00e9ral avec une troisi\u00e8me place dans la premi\u00e8re finale et deux neuvi\u00e8mes places dans les deux derni\u00e8res finales.<\/em><\/p>\n Le ch\u00e2ssis aluminium a tenu ses promesses et s\u2019est r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 \u00eatre tr\u00e8s efficace\u00a0!<\/em><\/p>\n ———————————–<\/em><\/p>\n Deuxi\u00e8me test, lors de la manche du championnat de France hivernal, les 21 et 22 novembre, \u00e0 Loos, mon club dont je suis le vice-pr\u00e9sident. Depuis Montbrison, j\u2019ai pass\u00e9 mon temps \u00e0 organiser les diff\u00e9rentes comp\u00e9titions qui se d\u00e9roulent dans mon club\u00a0: une course amicale, puis la manche du championnat de France, ainsi qu\u2019une importante course de buggys comptabilisant pr\u00e8s de 110 pilotes la semaine suivante. Autant dire de suite que l\u2019heure n\u2019\u00e9tait pas \u00e0 la pr\u00e9paration de la voiture, et cela s\u2019est ressenti sur la piste.<\/em><\/p>\n D\u00e9marrons cette manche par les essais, o\u00f9 j\u2019ai clairement pass\u00e9 plus de temps \u00e0 aider \u00e0 l\u2019organisation que dans les stands sur mon auto. Les essais n\u2019ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 la hauteur de ce que j\u2019esp\u00e9rais mais les temps n\u2019\u00e9tait pas non plus catastrophiques, s\u00fbrement d\u00fb \u00e0 ma connaissance de la piste et de la moquette.<\/em><\/p>\n Les qualifications, quant \u00e0 elles, ne se sont pass\u00e9es pour le mieux, pas du tout. Manque de concentration et r\u00e9glages encore perfectibles, je commets beaucoup de petites erreurs et me retrouve donc dixi\u00e8mes \u00e0 l\u2019issue des qualifications alors que mes temps au tour d\u00e9montrent que je pouvais esp\u00e9rer \u00eatre dans les quatre premiers. Dommage, mais la constance reste le point essentiel d\u2019une course, c\u2019est de ma faute.<\/em><\/p>\n Pour les finales, en plus du ch\u00e2ssis aluminium, j\u2019essaye des nouveaux ressorts encore en phase de test chez TM, en partant dixi\u00e8me, c\u2019est l\u2019occasion de les essayer\u00a0!<\/em><\/p>\n Arrive donc la premi\u00e8re finale, le ch\u00e2ssis se comporte merveilleusement bien, rapide, constant, j\u2019entame une remont\u00e9e tant bien que mal, le niveau est tr\u00e8s \u00e9lev\u00e9, chaque pilote \u00e0 doubler est une \u00e9preuve difficile et je me retrouve coinc\u00e9 derri\u00e8re Maxime Favrelle en sixi\u00e8me position, un peu moins rapide que moi mais qui se d\u00e9fend incroyablement bien. Je passe alors la moiti\u00e9 de la manche dans ses roues \u00e0 chercher l\u2019ouverture sans jamais la trouver, je termine alors sixi\u00e8me dans la premi\u00e8re manche de finale.<\/em><\/p>\n Lors de la deuxi\u00e8me manche, la voiture r\u00e9agit toujours aussi bien, elle est parfaite, rapide et saine. Si j\u2019avais su, j\u2019aurai pass\u00e9 ces ressorts plus t\u00f4t\u00a0! Quoi qu\u2019il en soit, je repars pour remonter dans le classement et termine alors cinqui\u00e8me dans cette deuxi\u00e8me manche, 5 minutes \u00e9tant trop court pour esp\u00e9rer mieux quand on voit les faibles \u00e9carts de temps entre chaque pilote.<\/em><\/p>\n Dans la derni\u00e8re manche, c\u2019\u00e9tait plus compliqu\u00e9, un accrochage au d\u00e9but \u00e0 vite eu raison de ma concentration et j\u2019ai ainsi termin\u00e9 la manche en commettant quelques erreurs. Rien de bien grave compte tenu des bonnes finales pr\u00e9c\u00e9dentes et aux performances plus que satisfaisantes du ch\u00e2ssis.<\/em><\/p>\n Je termine donc cette manche du championnat de France sixi\u00e8me avec le sentiment que la voiture fonctionne de mieux en mieux. Et c\u2019est sans compter sur la E4RS III Plus qui arrive tr\u00e8s prochainement, qui nous apportera \u00e0 coup s\u00fbr des performances\u00a0encore plus \u00e9lev\u00e9es !<\/em><\/p>\n ———————————–<\/em><\/p>\n Merci donc \u00e0 Team Magic, HRC et Lionel Troyon qui me font confiance afin de mettre \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve ce ch\u00e2ssis aluminium prototype, qui a d\u00e9j\u00e0 prouv\u00e9 toute sa valeur\u00a0!<\/em><\/p>\n Note: suite \u00e0 ces divers tests, le ch\u00e2ssis aluninium est maintenant disponible sous la r\u00e9f\u00e9rence TM507341<\/em><\/p>\n This is the feedback of R\u00e9mi Callens (former European Champion), who tested one of the Team Magic E4RS III aluminum prototype chassis, during two rounds of indoor French championship in Modified category, in parallel to other tests made by two … Continue reading ![\"Feedback](\"http:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/E4RS-III-Alu-Chassis-2-500x250.jpg\" "\\"Feedback")
