Formula 3
2004
For 2004, Gilmour Racing bought an Opel "Baby" Spiess powered Dallara F301 in their efforts to win the Australian Formula 3 Championship. Competing in the outright class, the team picked up both Rookie of the Year and second in the Championship in a year that included 5 wins, 2 pole positions, 12 podiums and 235 points.
2005
The 2005 season saw the introduction of the next generation of Formula 3 chassis to the Australian Formula 3 Championship. Gilmour Racing chose not to upgrade, competing with their existing chassis. Despite this, in 7 rounds and the Australian Grand Prix support races, the team claimed 12 podiums and 126 points. Chris Gilmour competed in Round 7 for Cooltemp Racing, amassing a total of 142 points and fourth outright for the season.
2006
Gilmour Racing chose to upgrade to a Dallara F304-Opel Spiess for the 2006 season, a sister car to the Cooltemp Racing chassis Chris Gilmour had driven in 2005. While awaiting the delivery of their car, Gilmour Racing teamed with Cooltemp Racing to field Chris in Round 1. The new car arrived in time for the second round, and it debuted at Symmons Plains. Despite some early teething problems, the team amassed 4 podiums, 11 top fives and 137 points. Chris Gilmour in total scored 4th place and 150 points.

Great video detailing the process of setting a car up and some of the little details you need to pay attention to.
@OldRacer53 thanks for watching!
That was awesome!! Thank you for making these! I’m learning so much and can’t wait to get something to work on and drive. Looking forward to the next video with the red car.
@dvelez811 Thank you so much for watching, we are glad it was helpful!
A really great and informative video. When you were adjusting the rear toe, what were the red spring clips on the arms? I am looking forward to the next video.
Well spotted! These are the spring clips that go through the end of the stub axle to retain the wheel nut. We clip them on the suspension arm when the wheels aren't torqued up so we don't loose them.
@@matthewgilmour9076 thanks. I really enjoy these technical videos.
@stefantrnacek1394 if there is anything you want more detail on, just let us know!
@matthewgilmour9076 What would be interesting is if you could show how you interpret all the downloaded data from the race.
@@stefantrnacek1394 standby!
Now You are running Giti tyres ,has does the original Dallara recommendations For Pirelli,and Avon (farewell Avon !) changed much from those base figures Please?
@mauricelevy9027 This is a great question. The base setup seems to be a very solid baseline to start from, the Dallara recommendations seem to provide a great aero and mechanical balance and then we tune to the personality of the tyre OR we are doing it wrong!
@@KCKLubricants I'm sure You chaps are doing Nothing wrong Mate ! i have had re[orts for New Zealand that the GITS are very hard compounds and take a while to come in . Having said that ,We are still on the Pirelli stuff ,the new DMA series but here in UK we have to run a min r/height of 40mm which of course losing a whole lot of downforce so there is little chance with one warm up lap of getting early performance in our series (Monoposto)
@@mauricelevy9027 That's very interesting, the compound we are using is very linear. you are as fast on cold tyres and you are hot. They seem to be super soft but minimal wear, the sidewalls are much softer than the Hankook we were running. Some drivers complain about the car moving within the sidewalls but they soon get used to it.
The only thing any two suspension experts will ever agree on, is that the third is doing it wrong.
🤣that is the best thing I have ever heard! I love it.
First
Thanks for watching!
