Ink on C&D 25hr of Thunderhill preview

Vishnu getting ink again...



Car and Driver Mag: 2004 25 Hours of Thunderhill Race Preview

I thought there was a thread talking about this race a few months back. Can that thread be revived?

Hey Shiv,

Are you worried at all about the reliability of the ACD for this? Or did Mitsu giving up some juicy secrets to you about it?

We got a lot of info from Mitsubishi which I'm sure will help us big-time. But info is very different from actual 25hr experience and testing time which we unfortunately don't have. Fingers crossed...

lol, I guess that the C&D boys didn't like getting wet in the Caterham last year.

Best of luck this year! I wish I could be there to watch!

Good point... With an 05 on the horizon for me, i'm curious to see if that ACD has any durability downfalls. I wish you guys the best of luck and wish I could be there (but I have duty this weekend )

I don't think they are running the ACD....too complex for longevity maybe...

But we are using ACD. But with a 5 speed. And with lots of tranny/differential/transfer case coolers
