Re: Bigger Motors in wooden chassis?

2010-06-04 by John Carroll

Hi Roger,
I do agree that the wooden chassis has great stiffness, but a V6 is still smaller and lighter then a massive honking V8, I do remember seeing a Modsports V6 at Oulton Park many centuries ago, when he accelerated both his doors opened, traced down to the wooden chassis flexing. I do think the perfect engine would be the Lotus twincam, dry-sumped of course!
Are you still racing?
Regards, John.
