Fantastic racing

This was an incredible experience. No amount of simulator (even a fairly realistic simulator) can prepare you for the assault on your sense.

As I approached the car the first thing that struck me was the rubber of the tires. It has about the feel of an eraser, perhaps a bit harder. However when it gets heated up it becomes sticky, actually picking up little stones and dirt of the tar, when you drive slowly in the pits. The cockpit is not very big, and there is no such thing as a seat, you sit on the carbon fibre of the safety cell. There are some cushions, but it has clearly been added as an afterthought. You push your feet down a narrow gully into the darkness, first getting it under the instrument panel, above a fire extinguisher. The pedals feel (you can see down there) about 5 cm wide, and are VERY close together. And it is not so much a sitting position, as a lying position, almost like sitting in the bath. The clutch pedal feels more like a tractor clutch than a car clutch, taking a significant amount of force for the first 3-5 cm of travel and then easing up. The brake pedal has significantly more travel than a normal car, what I mean with that, is the point that it starts braking, to the point of where there will be a full wheel lockup is a lot more than a road car. The throttle travel is very limited, but they did say that the cars are detuned for novices (us) and we only have 50% throttle available.

The revs build up extremely quick, and the cars are quick to accelerate once you have started rolling. Entering the first corner and braking, I was extremely surprised at how quickly the car de-accelerated, and how little the weight transfer made the nose dip. The suspension feels closer to a solid suspension, like a go-cart however if you get used to it, it is insane. Normally when you turn in sharply, the nose dips on the opposite side of the corner, and then you start to feel the g-force push you a bit to the side, with this race car, turning the steering wheel by 10 degrees at 100 km/h results in an immediate direction change and your body being flung to the side. The suspension is so hard that you would think it would start bouncing, but it is just before that level of bouncing and the wheels stay planted. Braking is beyond believe, the first time I started braking for the corner after the long back straight, I started applying braking, and applied more braking force and more braking force, the car stopped so quickly that I had to go another gear down, and accelerate to the corner. The gearbox was amazing, it takes a quick dab of the clutch and you pull or push the lever and that is it, off you go.

To single out a single thing that surprised me the most is difficult but it was probably the amount of movement of the front wing, at slow speeds it almost seems to bounce, and at high speed it looks like solid metal and hardly moves at all. The biggest challenge of this day, and learning to drive this car was not the physical, but the mental side of things. I did not get one braking point for a corner right, just because you don’t think a car can stop that quick, but you start braking for the corner, and you think you have left it way to late, and then the car starts slowing down, and you back of the brakes, because you are stopping too quickly. The amount of grip around the corners is astounding, going around Malmesbury corner in 4^th gear at 5500 rpm takes a LOT of courage.

Found a new addiction, I think however that this will be more expensive, and it requires some planning and learning some new skills, like being able to fix my own race car. However I am hooked, and I will be owning a race car in the not too distant future

Building a water feature

I wanted a water feature, and could not find one, so I figured, well I will build one.

(Came 6 out of 8 people!!)

 

What I learned and will be trying for next race:

• Aluminium drive shaft
• Removed all the grease and just oiled all of the differentials
• Oiled all of the ball bearings
• Ran in the engine (run it with 2 aa batteries, in one direction for an hour, and then in the other direction for an hour, a lot of people said run it in a glass of water, and I did not have the guts for that)
• Changed the gears (5.72:1)
• Adjustable pilotable tie-rod’s

Will see what happens at the next race! Can’t wait

Getting rid of “there was a problem sending the command to the program” without compromising security

Description of the problem:

You have a config file that you want to edit in Visual Studio. You don’t want to open the entire project, to just make a quick change, and you right click on the file, and select Open with Visual Studio. At that point you get this error message (noted above) and visual studio opens, but there is no sign of the file.

 

How thinking you are clever, almost always turn out to prove the opposite:

If you have the user account control fairly strict, then each time you open a web project, Visual Studio will tell you, that you should have launch Visual Studio as an administrator. So this is where I made a huge mistake. Thinking I was very smart, I went to the devenv.exe and set the administrator option on the files compatibility tab.

I figured, that way I will always run the development environment under the right credentials, right?

 

I was VERY wrong. The following is a screen shot of the Security tab, in process explorer of the Visual Studio launched with the compatibility set to Run as Administrator

So let’s compare that to the same screen shot, but of the Explorer process

 

So here is the interesting bit.

The explorer process launches visual studio with the security of the process set to DENY administrators any access. Then we try to launch visual studio in that context, but we say to the operating system, that whenever the devenv.exe process is launched it must always run as administrator. Keeping in mind that the DENY permission, always overrides all other permissions, no wonder there is problems for visual studio trying to open the file.

 

Fixing it without compromising the security of my system:

Undo where you fiddled with the system where you should not have fiddled in the first place.

Create a shortcut, and set the shortcuts properties to run as administrator. So know when you know you need to touch IIS and make changes, then you launch visual studio with your admin shortcut. All other times when you want to modify config files, you run under lower privileges, and you stay safe and secure.

So know I have been made humble again, and hopefully will respect the security of the system a bit better.
