Cup-car info
 

To Oliver and other german enthusiasts;
I`ve been searching trough net for technical information of serious beetle-racers like Dr.Gerold, Klaus Rashig and other käfer-cup-like stuff...and the result is next to nothing.
There is this one site that looked interesting
http://home.t-online.de/home/UweH.Reuter/homepage.htm
but it`s mostly in german of course. Think I`ll have to get a german dictionary from library..
So are there any sites, literature or other information sources you can recommend to me?
I`m building my slowly progressing project for autoslalom or similar class for streetlegal viechiles.

I love the babelfish, as it translates like it is, without every sense! I never loughed so often about texts!

This is Mr.Holzapfels "Overfly" engine. It produces constant 245HP, even after many race rounds. It's a commonly build 2,9l Type 4, besides it has Porsche OHC heads, cutted and welded to 4 cylinder asp. and very nice rip runners to get the homebuild cams to work. An awesome engine, probably the best race engine ever build on the 4-cyl. boxer series of VW. I know only of one engine, that was running more technique. That was Kerscher's 16V 2,5l Waterboxer!

This must be Dr Gerolds alter ego!
Its dirty,its cheap, Its only 2.4 , but it puts out over 300 ps.And a daily driver.
Now running Electromotive 8 plug direct fire ignition.


Oliver I thought the overfly had "custom cast" cam boxes?
Or has there been a few engines built?

I came across this one aswell

Can anyone identify the block?

Scat or Autocraft 3-piece maybe?

My guess is that this is the ARPM case.

Any pics of radical chassis or suspension setup modifications?
I dont know why, but suspension geometry with exotic approaches fascinate me the most.
And I think trough suspension upgrading you can improve performance the cheapest, at least when starting from stock.

Didn't Alex post the chassis pictures from the German shop MBT in the Gallery section? Take a look there!

I found only two pictures of an MBT-beetle from gallery. Either of them were not of chassis, allthough very nice ones.
Heres some new sites that I have found interesting:

That Australian racerproject seems to be very serious, but those pages lack pictures of it. And those Uniroyal Team Challenge look-alike beetles are just fakes but interesting indeed.
