18 Mar

Tanabe has just released a new product, a series of gauges! They are of course known for their excellent exhaust, spring and coilover setups. The nice thing about these gauges is they are complete. They offer a wideband 02, oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature and of course, boost. Ranges on the gauges are awesome. Boost reads up to 45 psi and shows vacuum too. Temperature reads in Imperial measurement.

Sebring 101

12 Mar

This weekend marks the 2nd important sports car event in North America this year, the 62nd running of the 12 Hours of Sebring. If you enjoy sports car racing, and the history of this event, this is a neat video. And any true racing fan can never get enough Sam Posey!!!

If you aren’t up to speed (bad pun) on the Sports Car racing world, you’re not alone. It’s all kinds of messed up. Such is life.

On Friday, from 1-3:30, the IMSA Websitewill have live streaming coverage of the Continental Sports Car Championship

For Saturday’s 12 Hour race, TV coverage is on Fox Sports1 (since Speed is now defunct…blech), but that’s only from 10am-1pm. All is not lost though, since coverage continues online at least from 1-10:30pm on IMSA’s Website

Motor Racing Network will also have their live radio stream going through the event too, and they broadcast on both terrestrial and satellite radio too. CLICK HERE FOR MRN’s LIVE STREAMCLICK HERE FOR RADIO STATIONS

The Evo vs the F1 Car

10 Mar

tiltonevovsredbullf1

Tilton Evo vs 2013 Redbull F1 car at Sydney Motorsport Park. This was part of some demo runs that also featured a Mercedes SLS GT3 car, a former Toyota WRC car, an E63 MG from the V8 Supercar series, and a Ducati from the Superbike series.

I know the Redbull car set a new track record at some point during the day; haven’t found times for the Tilton Evo yet

Thanks to Steve for the heads up and pic
