My wife and I happened to visit the Penske compound at RennSport III while they were getting the RS Spyder ready for its track laps. First off, the crew checks all four tires by rolling the car back and forth.
  The engine bay looks more like the satellites I have seen close up than a car. There is lots of gold heat shield foil, high tech connectors, and everything is neatly labeled and perfectly clean.  |

Notice the muffler??? at the end of the exhaust and how short the whole exhaust run is. Until recently, Porsche did not want anyone photographing this engine. Penske crew is not allowed to service the engine, but they can change clutches if needed. Penske guys were great about answering our questions.
 Suspension arms are highly polished metal, maybe titanium, instead of carbon fiber. Must need reliability rather than weight savings.  Each connection is labeled.  I asked what race was their favorite and the crew guys said, "the ones we win".  More next post... |
