I wasn't wrong when I said it would look good on the track.

Best of luck for Oulton and Knockhill, see you at Silverstone.

RaceDynamix announce Zen Performance Race Engineering Support

Time Attack club challenge #6 competitor Duncan Graham is proud to announce that ZEN Performance will be commissioned to provide Race Engineer support for Time Attack 2009 series.

Following on from the on-event support at the final round of Time Attack 2008 at Snetterton, Duncan feels that this is a crucial piece of the jigsaw often overlooked and who better to provide this support and guidance than the 2007 champions.

ZEN will use their massive Time Attack experience and knowledge to assist Duncan in engineering the car for the season, assisting with chassis / engine tuning and set-up, along with good old fashioned moral support.

Duncan is very excited about this partnership and the forthcoming Time Attack season that is starting at Oulton Park on the 25th April.
Indeed I am

Just noticed the bolts on either side of the bumper, like the idea of that to help quick release of it?!

Any pics of the bumper removed to see how it works, PM me if you'd rather.

No pics as such although I have just the www.raceDynamix.com website live and there are some build pics on there.

The bumper has the fixing on the side that you can see that go to rivnut or welded nuts onto the metal framework. It also has 4 bolt under the bonnet for it too and with the splitter there are 2 dzuz fasteners underneath.

Thanks

I have gone by the letstorquebhp.com calculator for the 0-60 but added a bit because 2.9 seconds to 60 sounded a bit optimistic

Top speed is geared for over 190mph

I would be very surprised if you managed to hit the rev limit in 6th with your aero dynamics and power though. Only one way to find out!

Yep there is. But I am not going to find out in a hurry

The figures were only in there to give a bit more relevance to the power/torque that mortals would understand. As seasoned pros even we have trouble explaining what torque actually means
