FM3 & Nür 24h Update

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Since the famous 24H race takes place this weekend, we decided on a whim to make a Nürburgring FF-contender kind of like the famous Motoring Show TopGear would tackle this thing:

  • 300 kWh max
  • FF only
  • it has to be a class B-car (<501 ranking)
  • you have to fit the racing-spec front-wing and racing slicks.

    Time allotted for painting the car was 30 minutes initially, though we stretched that to 1 hour 15 minutes. Alas, here’s my entry:


    It turned out to be the most powerful (and handful to drive) entry out of three: Fitted the V6 Brera engine + some upgrades, biggest rims (give you -5 or so, important to stay below the 501-points target) + widest rims on the front → managed to get 289 kWh out of this machine.
    The downside? No rollcage, racing brakes, transmission, clutch and flywheel. Add a 66:44 weight distribution and you might see where this is going… if you want to try it for yourself, it’s up to grab in the FM3-shop. As these pics suggest: fun times!

    Best preparation for the race tomorrow then, can’t wait to see people trying to go where we already went today.
