I had a great couple of sessions today. I'm not as fast as @RushR.Rentals by any means but I am learning and making progress to the tune of ~0.5-1sec improvement almost every time I go!

Here's the best lap. I was on track for a 1:45 but the AiM oil pressure sensor went on the fritz and started reading 80 to -40 psi. Naturally that got me off-track quick! The AiM sensor is only rated to 72psi, Blair tells me the cars have been shipping with a better sensor for a while now.

I've also attached the RaceStudio3 xrk.

Hey all, just wanted to share a few photos and video of my recent outing at Hallett. I couldn't have done it without the support provided from the Rush team, so thank you so to Dave, Blair, and everyone else involved. Y'all made it an absolutely amazing event. The food, the stories, and the support was unmatched by anything I've experienced. Thank you so much.

It was my first time driving the car, and man I cannot tell you how spot on they got the name. What a rush... (Yeah yeah, I'll see myself out.) The way it balanced itself and gave predictable feedback was incredible, I started being able to predict exactly what the car would do. That inspired so much confidence that I was truly shocked walking away from the weekend. I ended up turning a 1:23.11, which for me I was quite happy with. A far cry from the expert over there in his 1:19's, but hey I'll take the steady improvements I made over the weekend.

I think it's amazing how the SR looks.. you can really see how small the car is!

Hey all. Rob D out of Buffalo, NY, with an SR on order. Psyched! Have ran a lot of autocross, rallycross, and HPDE’s (mostly with Chin). Most familiar with Miata’s and most recently a (nearly fully) race prepped E46 that I’m hoping to run in the SpecE46 series.

Can’t wait to get into the Rush, I’ve read a ton of good things. I’m sure I’ll have a lot of unanswered questions that I hope to have your input to help with!

Anybody have an SR in the Western New York area?

Here's a postcard from the Tulancingo, Mexico racecourse. Better known by locals as the Tulancingoring.

This shot is on the entrance to the pit-front straight that leads to a left turn with a hill, that immediately turns into a right turn down-hill, followed by another left uphill. Lot's of technical fun.

Anyone on here has to be a car or motorcycle person so interested to see what everyone is driving either for their daily driver, their trailer puller or weekend toy?

Post some pics!

All sold! Get yourself a spare motor boys! 2019 GSXS 1000 from my Rush. I bought this motor with 3000 miles on it as a spare and ended up racing it. It has good compression across the board. I redid the wiring harness following some upgrades and started having troubles after that. I was having power loss issues and the secondaries wouldn’t function. I couldn’t find anything mechanically wrong so it must be in the wiring. Comes complete air box to oil pan with starter, header, ecu, and harness.

It has a BME filter with the restrictor plate removed and PAIR system delete.
$5000

I also have 3 spare starters for $250 a piece.
Spare ecu with a hot tune $500

As title.

This weekend was amazing! Ended up with an overall 1st and 2nd after starting from the back! NASA TX ran an amazing event and we cant wait for the next one at MSR Creson. Really looking forward to having 20+ SR's on track for the Battle of the South, let's dominate the weekend!

Ladies and Gents,

2023 Will see some fantastic racing all across North America! Both Canada and Mexico are lining up tremendous programs and we will see the RUSH SR racing in both the Florida and Texas NASA regions with a full championships.

The Battle Of The South, however, looks to be the premier USA series for the RUSH SR during 2023. With three spectacular venues, Barber, NOLA & Ozarks, we are expecting the largest gathering of RUSH SR's to date. This will be a 3 weekend mini series with nine races counting toward the championship and toward the Grand Purse of over $10,000!

We have already had several drivers commit to these events from afar, and we know with certainty these will sell out! We encourage you to register NOW if you plan to attend these events! Registration for Barber, NOLA and the Ozarks is now open, they will sell out very quickly. Once registered please send a message to us so that we can help you with any additional needs. If you are DE please register for your appropriate DE group. If you have a race licence please register for ST2 with your SR.

Here are some pics for my race ready Rush SR in a track training event in the Amozoc circuit in Puebla, Mexico.

In discussions with our best-looking owner, I thought it would be interesting to have people post their dash configs. I've uploaded my MXS config, so you can simply import it (BEWARE, it will delete all your existing dash settings!) if you just want a good "getting started" config.

The SR's Nankang tires fit right inside the 22" truck tires in the garage!

We lost a good one, this man did so much for our sport, turned millions into followers and ignited passion!

We are gutted, our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and the many he touched!

Wanted to post a typical customer build with all the latest, straight off the line.

A few weeks ago the qualification requirements for all cars in the 2023 season were released. The Rush SR has a Mod factor of -2.7 (quite aggressive compared to e.g. Thunder Roadster GTR). This essentially seems designed to prevent the car from running on slicks in ST2. Despite this, the car has been competing well.

See rules below and the inputs you can use for the NASA ST/TT Car Classification Form. Resources were taken from the old FB group.

It's no secret that I love the AiM Smartycam. It's the perfect companion to an AiM dash and it's one of the few tech products I've bought in a while (besides Airpods!) that absolutely justifies its premium price. Doing video with a GoPro or other custom camera is a lot of legwork compared to setting up your Smartycam once and letting it do the work for you.

See the thread on rendering video without a Smartycam if you don't have one, and want to use a GoPro other camera instead.

If you took delivery of an SR with a Smartycam, you get a lot of features out of the box. You should get a basic overlay with rpm, gear, speed, and track map without any work. But you may notice that your throttle and brake don't work! Here's how to get them going.

Importing Your Dash

If you haven't already, create a new config for your dash in RaceStudio3. In the "Configurations" section (gear icon), click New... and create a new MXM or MXS profile correlating to the version of the dash you have. You probably have an MXS 1.2 or 1.3.

Once you've done this, turn on your car and connect to its wifi network. It should be named something like "RUSH SR" and a bunch of numbers. It may take a while to connect. One you do, you should see the dash show up in "Connected Devices" at the bottom left of RaceStudio.

Important: You then need to import what's currently on the dash before you modify it! Otherwise, you'll overwrite the stock configuration and end up deleting a bunch of channels.

All stock configurations are available here.

Click Receive at the top (highlighted, it won't be grayed out if you're connected to your dash), and it will replace the configuration on your computer with what's currently on your dash.




Brakes

Leave your car on, open RaceStudio 3, and connect to your dash's wifi network. Pull a session from your dash and look at your max front brake pressure in heavy braking zones. Set it to bar, not psi. This becomes important later.




Your max may vary. My car badly needed a bleed so I wasn't running as much pressure as I should; other cars should be reading ~20bar. So in this case I'm going to assume my maximum is 8 bar.

Then, you want to create a Math Channel in your dash, not in the analysis section, so your dash can calculate it live and feed it to the Smartycam. Click the gears icon at the top left, highlight your dash, and go into its settings. Click Add Channel:





I name my channel "BrakePerc", set it to "Pct Brake Load" and do a simple math operation to get it to where I want to go. You want your max pressure * this constant to equal 100. So, since 100/8 = 12.5, my channel is as follows:



Upload your config to the dash and test it. When your car is on you can open it up in RS3 and view live data. I can't show you right now because my car is in a trackside garage, but it should be fairly self-explanatory.

Sidenote: this is why we are looking at our data in bar, not psi. The math that the dash does internally is always on bar. If you are doing a math channel in RS3 Analysis you can choose the unit. Pick a consistent naming scheme so you can tell what is native to your dash and what is a Analysis Math Channel!


Throttle:

In previous versions of this post, we used SDS IGN AN 1. That was complex and not as good as using the MAP sensor. The new formula in Analysis is:

(("SDS MAP" - 6.3) / 7.7) * 100



To do this on your dash, you have to simplify the formula so it can be expressed as a Linear Corrector:

TPS = ((MAP - 6.3) / 7.7) * 100
TPS = (MAP - 6.3) * 12.987
TPS = 12.987MAP - 81.8181





Here's how it comes together:




Sending to SmartyCam:

The last step is to ensure this is being sent to the SmartyCam directly. Set your Throttle Pos and Brake Pos:



And that's it!

You can configure your overlay however you like. Here's how I do mine (background picture isn't actually a Rush, but it's close):



Here's an example of how it comes together:
