GTI TCR Dyno Day - Episode 2 - Motorsport Mondays

►Last week on episode one of our new Motorsport Mondays series, we began the teardown and inspection of the #71 & #72. This was to go through and give them a thorough inspection before they headed to the dyno. In this week's episode, we get the cars loaded up and off to the dyno at United Motorsport shop right here in Milford, CT.
What’s the oil change interval on a sequential SADEV gearbox? How do you figure out what tire pressures to run during a qualifying lap? And what exactly are the settings for camber and caster to optimize your vehicle’s contact patch during a hot lap?
All of that and more will be in FCP Euro’s latest series, Motorsport Monday.
By now, you know about FCP Euro’s motorsports documentary series, The Paddock. It provided a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of our motorsports program, from securing sponsorships, traveling to races, and even some of the hardships we faced throughout each weekend at the track. But this year, we’re going to do things a little differently.
Our program this year is coming in-house. What’s that mean? Rather than using a logistics partner for the transport, prep, and race support, we’re going to do it all ourselves. That includes working on the cars in the off-season, transporting them to the race, working on them at the track during a race, and optimizing them for winning the event itself and, more importantly, running it all out of the same facility that you pick up your parts. It’s a massive undertaking.
If we had to summarize Motorsport Monday in one sentence, it’d be: translating how working on two professional championship-winning racecars can help you work on your European car. Our Volkswagen GTI TCRs are just cars, after all, and there’s plenty of things we have under our belts that could help you in your endeavors, whether it’s in your driveway doing routine maintenance or at a track going after your own fastest lap.

What tire setup and camber do yall use? I daily my 2019 GTI and starting track events. I run 245/30r19 Michelin PS4S on it with coilovers. IS38 putting about 350HP 375FTLBS to the wheels.

Hi 334 TRAX, on our TCR's we run 265 width Pirelli racing slicks, which is why these cars have such extreme wide-body flares to fit!

@@fcpeuro That is very nice I wish I could get that body kit. I can't find any body jots to get wider tires. Very nice cars.

@@fcpeuro What's the ride height on these TCR cars? I daily drive, autox, and track my 2018 GTI on Bilstein B14 coilovers along with 245/40/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE71R tires.
