“It’s been a very rapid evolutionary process because of time constraints. We’ve been focusing heavily on performance development because those parts, by the (IRL) rules, have to be submitted by Sept. 1. We’re just starting to shift from 80 or 90 percent performance development to something more normal, which is primarily durability development.”
So are chevy and Honda/Ilmore testing too or are they just going with their origionally submitted design. Sept 1 is closing in. What does Sept 1 deadline mean for TWR's new unbadged motor?
“We are here primarily focusing on the things we understand the least about, which is the rev limiter, the pit lane crew system. We’ll be working some on ‘shift without lift,’ which is something new for the IRL next year.”
Shift without lift? I can just hear the IRL-bashers crying that this makes the driving even easier.
