Default Roger clarke power graph

Power at WHEELS.

Must be an ANIMAL with the gas going in such a light and well setup car, no wonder it wins so many things!


Interest comparison of with and without nitrous, just to show how much difference it makes to the whole rev range!



The power nearly TRIPLES on the gas just after 5000 rpm!

100bhp or so jets, giving 300bhp at the wheels extra due to the effect on turbo spooling.

Is that an honest question? Straight line speed I would expect it to be MILES faster. I think his quarter mile time is seriously quick in comparison with even a quick car like the Galacher focus.

and to see it on track id say it may even put AG's Focus to shame.

it would certainly be something to see tho, both against the clock on alternative laps.

Ive done a lot with nitrous over the years, but that area under the curve difference from 4250-6K there is just mind blowing, must feel like a pedal car with the nitrous turned off, but to most people would seem balistic, lol

To answer the question about andy's car, i would imagine that on the gas the difference between this car and his would be monumental, like the difference between his and a typical gt30 cossie

andrews done a 50.0 at knockhill when i was there watching one day but he still had more to come from the car im sure,
but its down to charlie now to try and beat that time

the rcm subaru is an amazing car and sometimes looks like its got too much power for some tracks.

Don't forget Andrew is allowed to run on full race slicks whereas the Roger Clarke car has to run on R888's in Time Attack.. im sure if the subaru was on slicks it would be as fast if not faster.

Andrew has done 50.0, I was chatting to him and he seemed gutted he didnt get 49.something, I'm sure there's more to come from his car.

I'd love a passenger ride in that car on track with him and I'd like to see it in a drag race off the line against an f1 car

The figures are (for the 2005 Renault R25):0 to 100 km/h: 1.9 seconds
0 to 200 km/h: 3.9 seconds
0 to 300 km/h: 8.4 seconds, may be slightly more or less depending on the aerodynamic setup.
The acceleration figure is usually 1.4 g (14 m/s²) up to 200 km/h, which means the driver is pushed back in the seat with 1.4 times his bodyweight.

formula 1 car is roughly the same power but nowhere near the torque.
Huge weight difference though!

Andrew will be using his car this sunday for the final at the hill that he has already won then its game over charlie shaw has bought it.So andrew will now very soon be setting times in the woods.
50.0 is the time to beat at knockhill he might try weather depending on sunday to bring that down.
& the subaru will be faster with that power graph thats mental nice one the clark team

But surely its cheating Chip & most people dont like cheats .

I expect to see over 800atw (1000bhp fly) with mine on the Nitrous.

I wish I could give you a definitive answer to that mate

Given that the wasted spark fires so late when you are on boost (ie its at its most retarded point), its perfectly possible it could do so while the inlet valve is open, you will need to actually look at the point in the cycle you first see lift on the inlet cam, work out how many degrees of ignition timing that equates to, and then look on your map to see if that is an issue. (event then if you havent got perfect valve seal, it may still get enough fuel from the nitrous kit past to be a problem)
Can you not just go to a 4 coil setup to be sure?

Lead_foot, he ISNT joking, and its not a 50 quid plenum he is risking its an MIS one!
