Hi everyone,
A few more informations :
The engine comes from a Mercedes Benz 600. It is an all aluminium 48 valves quad cam V12. It has a variable timing on the intake.
It's weight is very close to weight of the RB26 (cast iron block).
It has a Brabus crankshaft which brings the capacity to 6.9 litre
The car is built using a stock R34 shell. Around 50 meters of chromoly tubing has been welded inside. The suspensions mounts are relocated and double wishbone suspensions are used front and rear.
The tyres are 345/40 - 18 front and rear on BBS magnesium wheels.
The engine is located in central front position to make room for the front transmission.
The gearbox is a OS Giken 6 speed sequential.
The car is built like a road race car, not a drag racing car.
About the french dragstrip, unless one has been built last week, there is not a single one in this country. In any case, I don't own it.
There are a few races in France but they are organized on the straight of road race tracks or airfields.
Best regards
Luc-Michel FAICHAUD
