VAG Cars RR Day @ Awesome GTI - Results & Pictures...!

[Craig!]

Well after a good few months, here it is, a full VAG Cars RR Day write up. The rolling road day took place at Awesome GTI in Manchester, and in total we had 24 cars running on the rollers throughout the day.

To start with here’s some pictures of the cars outside during the whole day;

Now onto the actual rolling road images and details, all power figures are at the wheels and not at the fly. Flywheel figures were roughly 15~20bhp+ more than the wheel horse power figures listed below.

Was a great day out, and hoping to arrange another RR day late February / early March 2007. If anyone would like the high resolution pictures of their cars just ask, like wise I also have a few video’s too!

As in all forms of motorsport, that's completely at your own risk and why you sign a disclaimer before your car is run. Awesome run a professional outfit, they look after every car they run.

They won't run the cars at high rpm for any longer than needed, usually they take the 1.8T's to no more than 6000rpm, which is under the redline limiter. No point pushing them for more or for longer, as they tend to reach their maximum output by around 5500rpm anyway.

Ive never seen a car come off a rolling road any worse, at any event (and i've been to a lot) than when it went on. If there is something wrong with the car, it would happen regardless of it being on a rolling road. But taking a car on a rolling road is no riskier than driving it down the road. As long as its well strapped down, which they always are at Awesome.

I agree, never seen a problem. I think there is a bit more risk than driving down the road as the rollers are putting up a brake that the engine is having to work against which I would assume puts stress on the engine.

Great pics.

Ive got some of my cam, that need up loading,

Will get them up soon.

 

[Vtec220]

That red LCR with the BBS wheels is sweet - Sixpots car? - whats the spec on the car?

 

[Ibiza Evo 2]

Are these outputs on the wheels or is this engine power?

No matter how many times I drive my car having over 300whp and over 300lbs/ft @ the wheels never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Not sure how that would be the case, when they are designed for the purpose of engine/car dynometering. As with all equipment im sure they can mis-used, and badly run. I'd say engine braking on the road puts greater stress on an engine.

Awesome use a 4% brake on the rolling road with the turbo cars, simply because they need some friction to drive against, if that friction brake wasn't applied then they would never spool up the turbo and a 2.016v would wipe the floor with them

In a real world sense, they have more friction on the open road than they do on a rolling road simulation, though the friction on the road surfaces may change with the conditions, on a rolling road they should remain consistant.

Wheel power mate.

 

[CupraUK]

Wheel power mate.

Wow, powerful bunch of cars

 

[basstard]

liking the wheels on this black beeza:

what are they? BBS or what?

 

[Craig!]

There BBS RC's they were origionally fitted to that Mk3 Cabby, but when we did the VR6 conversion we choose to use the 5 stud hubs. So my friend Ali decided to try them on to see what they looked like, and they look good plus clear Brembo's!
