I finally got to see the RealTime cars in person at Road America this Sunday. Pretty cool! I think it's great that you can get up close to the cars and crew; what other sport or event is like that? Here's some pix I took in the pits.

Great pictures... that rsx looks pretty killer.

 

Realtime RSX

 

You lucky bastard

I tried to make it out there but family in from out of town kinda held me here in town.

Great pics though

 

I agree, that thing is NICE!

 

nice photos.

 

solid pics!

that NSX is money.


-tell

 

Any word on when the RSX will be running?

 

I don't know if you were asking this seriously, but at CART events you can pay a little $$ and basically go right in the garages. Well, not right in, but very close.

 

Does anyone know what the horsepower/torque numbers are for the Realtime DC2's, by any chance?

 

Yeah that thing looks nice. I just hope it runs as good as it looks

 

i want a RTR front lip!!

 

Nice pics what size/name on wheels/tires/offset are the Realtime DC2R's running?those are Volk's TE37 right?look like sum 16's to me...

 

17x7.5
SSR Competition (Type C)
225/45/17
Offset = ???

 

I want this R front lip too! Was'nt thre a guy who wanted to make them for us?

 

you mean SSR right?yeah Im looking for some wheels for track use and also cus I like them,did they go that big cuz of bigger brakes or handling or both anyways if someone could please tell me the offset size and aren't 225 to big for 7.5's it just sounds a little bit off to me or Im i just high or somethin

So no one knows when Realtime will race the RSX?

 

right, yeah, I meant track events I've been to, in general (not just this one). I got the paddock pass last year for CART @ Road America and it was $40 over the standard gate fee. This event was $35 for everything.

 

Can you all help me a little here....

<FONT COLOR="red">try to get pics of THE BACKSIDE of the brake rotors (where the beake ducts terminate)</FONT>

Thanks a million!

Oh, and to offer my help...

realtime should start next year (or as soon as they feel its will win)
And it was Andrew who made one and broke it his first race. He will no longer be able to continue with that project.

The Realtime cars make around 210hp AT THE CRANK. (remember they use restrictor plates too!

 

Can someone elighten me?

What's a restrictor plate?

 

restrictor plate blocks the air into the intake manifold... to limit the size of the opening.

less air opening.. less HP the motor will make. They do that to make it more "competative" or it will really walk all over the rest of the field.

 

thats the biggest 500.00 dollar check i have ever seen

 

Hey I know that guy!! I think his name is Ken or something...he's responsible for parts of the ITR I think...last time I spoke to him and ask whether or not RTR plan to sell those front spliters. He said it would be hard for consumers because you will have to rip off part of the oem front bumpers in order to put them in.

Great Pix!

That's Jerry - the crew chief.

Chris - the brake duct hose is connected to a carbon fiber backing plate that goes where the original dust shield was.

 

i may be wrong, but are those brake rotors on backwards, arent they suppose to rotate throw gases out, not sucking air in....?
