I got some pictures from the Auto-X here in Peru last Sunday. It was a pretty sweet event with some bad *** cars.

 

Nice.

 

You say Peru, and I initially thought "not the country." Then I see a Renault and a SEAT. What gives?

 

Lol i was thinking Peru, INDIANA

Then I saw the Peugot too

 

Ya, that's definitely not Indiana!

Cool!

 

Great stuff! How did the R8 do?

 

The R8 the fastest car other than a few STi's. IT looked and sounded great! The surface was seriously dusty and the AWD cars just dominated if you drove them right. You could tell the low grip was giving most people problems. Next time I'm down there I will try to line up a car to drive.

Do you have enough rear camber?



Not unless you're this guy

 

It that picture he was launching making camber look crazy...I thought the wheels were going to fly off.

He was a maniac on course doing some crazy drifting

 

Great and COOL

Thats one of the things you deal with when you're in the air-cooled v-dub world.

And then you slapped yourself, right? I hope? Talk to RJ if you need more convincing to not do that

No worse than any other car with a swing axle rear suspension.

My 1979 Triumph Spitfire with -4.75* of rear camber. On hard launch squat, its easily 7 or 8 degrees of negative camber back there.


With a swing axle, you want lots of camber. The alternative, is to have insane snap oversteer on transitions (slaloms) when you load up the positively cambered, previously inside, tire.

 

Wow that looks bad ***. We've got a big contingent here in houston but hardly any manufacture tents (more chances during div & natl) and of course no trophy girls. . . . . . . and a podium? was there only 1 class?
