What fuel will you be running in TA?

Post by duncan »

I know Anglo American Oils have done a pretty good deal on the pricing of the Sunoco race fuels for TA competitors but are any of the club guys going to use it?

I am sure the power advantages are there with running 109 octane fuel but I think it will add a lot to the running costs for the weekend.

So is it race fuel or vpower or vpower (+octane booster) for you?

Hi Dunc. Speak to Gary about the fuels, we have done a fair bit of dyno testing now and have some interesting results.

Do the TA regs give you a free reign on fuel Dunc?

petrol, deisel, bioethanol is the choice but Sunoco are one of the series sponsors so we get a discount on their race fuel.

So you're allowed additives (does that include several litres of meth etc?) and race fuel like Sunoco? Sounds liberal compared to an MSA event.
