Our Dutch GT and Touring Car Championship is kicking off next weekend with three races at Zandvoort. To get ready for the season quite a few upgrades were required. The exciting ones were adjustable RSR stabilizer bars we sourced from a new found friend for twinsparkracing.com. Just very nice detail, reproduced from original factory parts. We just had to try them ourselves!

Lex had the Hulk on the rolling road at Beek Auto Racing in The Hague last week and managed to fine tune the injection pump to achieve much more lower rev torque, which will certainly make for faster lap times. Lex is one of the very few enthusiasts who can set up an RSR engine in the low lands and we have started to offer this service on the rolling road commercially. Contact us if you have the need. Getting an MFI pump set to standard spec is only the start of making the most of this injection system. For us it has very few secrets anymore…

Next, we had a big discussion in the class on several interpretations of the homologation boundaries and one of them concerned the use of 16 inch wheels on G Model RSRs. As we run in a division through 1975 the call was that this models can run 16″ rims under Appendix K aection VII. I happened to have one of the last E50 BBS 16″ inch wheels on the shelf and they are gorgeous! New Avons went on and it really makes the car.

It harks of the Jaegermeister Kremer cars of 1975 and 1976, doesn’t it?
Then we had to change the fuel cell, the seat and harness, as they all expired end of 2012. Painful, but this is the last thing to get economical about…

Massive thanks to Lex for getting this all sorted! More news next weekend with some race results!
