Torque Developments is proud and delighted to have been appointed as Technical Partner to MSVR – the racing arm of UK circuit owner Motorsport Vision – with key responsibilities for MSVR’s Trackday Trophy and Team Trophy for the forthcoming 2012 season.

Torque Development’s role as MSVR Technical Partner entails engine performance validation and race regulation compliance, which requires the firm to independently measure each race car’s power output prior to the opening rounds of the 2012 season at its Thurrock headquarters.

In addition Torque Developments will continue to verify power outputs trackside using its advanced, portable Rototest VPA-R hub dyno, which boasts 4wd capability and measures up to 1500 bhp at the hubs. Torque Developments dyno test to corrected industry standards and with complete accuracy.

MSVR’s Trackday Trophy limits competitor’s cars to a maximum performance of 175 bhp per ton, meanwhile the Team Trophy’s grids are split across four classes, ranging from 125-200 bhp per ton.

Commenting on the announcement, Torque Development’s Mark Catchpole said ‘This is a prestigious role for us to undertake and we’re delighted that MSVR has chosen Torque Developments to oversee the power outputs for both the Trackday Trophy and the Team Trophy. The two championships depend on equality of performance on strictly policed power to weight ratios and MSVR clearly has confidence in Torque Development’s advanced dyno facilities, in-house expertise and impartiaility.’

Torque Developments International in co-operation with Xtreme Motorsport deliver a podium finish at Silverston in September 08.

This 24 hour endurance race is one of the most demanding events in the Motorsport calendar, which tests the cars to the very limits of reliability and performance.

We were contracted to take over an ECU installation and calibration from another company that had failed to deliver. The company had the car for 3 months without even getting the engine fired up successfully, whereas we were in a “mission accomplished” position within a few days.

Several other wiring issues came to light during testing and the actual race which we successfully dealt with, that ensured that the car finished the race, and the drivers got on the podium.

Here’s the brand new ’08 BMW 1 Series with 3.0 straight 6 engine.

Here’s the 1 Series giving a Mosler something to worry about.

The drivers requested the ECU to be modified to add fuel on the over-run to throw flames out of the exhaust. This is not good from an engineering perspective, but I have to admit it looks quite spectacular and does please the crowd!
