Sign me up please! Should be the right car to try the bigger Porsche rim
Some nice spinnin'round
(it's really weird to have 32cm diameter after racing with 28 and then 30 for years...)

Welcome Rasmus!

The wheel looks great btw, though for this race you might want to upgrade with one of these

Quite difficult to deal with the adrenaline rush until 23:00 when having lectures everyday at 8 am
And always when I hadn't, there was wind

Taking a break from kitesurfing until mid February though so hopefully I'll race at least once a week with you guys

In Please John!

Great you can make it it Brian, welcome

I have seen a Transit mod that's quick(er), but can't find it In the mods thread - it's got to be RD approved.

Please sign me up, last time was fun

We could ask Garry to give us a mad turbocharger version for Christmas?
It's really just a change of line... But of course it needs to be "official" for rd events so he'd need to do it.
But I'm not sure that he's into "unrealistic stuff for fun"

great idea @RasmusP give it a go

 

[RasmusP]

I don't think he'd do it. His reply would probably that if we wanna Frankenstein his mod, we should just edit the line on our own as he wouldn't upload it as his official content.

To be fair I could understand him

Only possibility would be that I'd upload the turbo version somewhere and send the link via TeamSpeak just for us...
But I don't think we'd get everyone to update their cars correctly and in time for qualy

That wouldve been awesome though!

EDIT: I forgot about the end of that vid! Engine is on fire... let's pull up to the fuel pumps and check it out....

Guy Martin Conquers NORC In Radical-Tuned Transit

TV personality & motorcycle racing ace Guy Martin kicked off his third series of SPEED with help from Radical’s engineering department this weekend – conquering the Nevada Open Road Challenge in a 165mph Ford Trans

www.radicalsportscars.com

The Ford EcoBoost twin-turbo engine was developed to produce 692bhp by Radical Performance Engines. These developments raised the van’s top speed from 102mph to in excess of 165mph

I have a little bit of time this morning, so I'll look at how to modify the power charts to be something in that region. I suspect that van has a few more mods though, so I might watch the documentary too https://www.channel4.com/programmes/guy-martin-the-worlds-fastest-van/on-demand/68159-001

 

[GeekyDeaks]

@RasmusP I found a dyno chart for a modified ford eco engine here https://www.drivingline.com/articles/ecoboosted-adding-an-easy-60-hp-to-ford-s-twin-turbo-35l-v6/

Extrapolating out the torque on https://acstuff.ru/u/torque-helper/ to get 690bhp with the default turbo settings I get a power.lut close to

2000|308
2500|513
3000|673
3500|650
4000|623
4500|609
5000|575
5500|513
6000|424

I'm just doing this for giggles. I am quite happy to race the normal van too

EDIT: not sure why it killed the link for the power helper site... here are the default settings I could see:
