May 2014
We received an update from DMP Motorsport after their first race of the season, they have upgraded their engine to our TP225 kit.
‘Yesterday we had our first race of the year and the first race with our newly built engine with lots of SBD parts (225TB kit). The engine goes like h*ll! The power on the straight is amazing! We drive in a 6 hour endurance series, we started at the very last place, there is no qualifying, the order is set from previous races or season, and we didn’t drive last year. Our first man behind the wheel took us to first position within 19 laps at Gelleråsen, Karlskoga. But then we lost a bit too much time in the pits refueling. Drove from 8th to 4th in the next hour and a half and had a good chance at that podium. The car continued to feel great, both engine and chassis. But after 3h 20min we had to pull in to the pits with some vibrations. We haven’t taken anything apart yet, but we think it’s the bearing in the crankshaft (spigot?) that has broken. Couldn’t select any gears with the engine running.
Anyway, were pretty pleased anyway with the day and we’ll sort this problem out and head for the podium in the next race!’
