We had a great race weekend winning every race and also going home with the national truck race championship 2017.
Building a race engine and programming an engine management no problem but getting a race driver to do what you or the team wants is a different story in all But also on that part a load of progress. Finally the driver understand how a modern semi truck race engine works.
The engine is able to make power even under 1000Rpm and will carry max torque up to 1800Rpm as over this RPM the turbo will run out of air and it will drop boost pressure due to this but that’s normal. Trick is not to take the power off the engine as it will drop boost so only one option only use one gear only and still able to power slide @ 1150RPM with 66Kmh but able to control traction or engine power a lot better as for stepping down one gear running 400Rpm more, 1100Hp will hit hard on the escalator peddle, having to lift hard to gain control again drops boost.
For now the engine power is more than the truck can handle out of the corner but hope the team will fix this by changing to stiffer springs as we lift the rear axle cornet out losing traction. Still having o2 left on mid RPM so a bigger commonrail fuelpump will be needed to step up engine performance.
