After a victory in 2016 and fifth place in 2017 thyssenkrupp Bilstein returns as a contender to the Nürburgring in 2018 the suspension experts of Ennepetal have ambition They have captioned the 46th ADAC 24-hour race for themselves and for all partners with a special motto: THE LEGEND STRIKES BACK The history of the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring is legendary It began in 1970 and from the outset was dedicated to the popular sport thyssenkrupp Bilstein is one of the “originals” a reliable partner for decades – for the Nürburgring and above all for the race teams who are facing this indescribable challenge again and again: 24 hours through the Green Hell “We have experienced and celebrated great wins with our partners. The most recent we were able to determine with AMG and BLACK FALCON on the last lap.  A real Eifel thriller Head of Marketing at thyssenkrupp Bilstein “Sometimes you enter the Ring as the hunted and sometimes you enter as the hunter Head of Motorsport at thyssenkrupp Bilstein Confidence doesn’t arise from approximations Because the Ennepetal suspension experts alongside AMG and BLACK FALCON have already made progress in the 24-hour race season: a perfect overall victory at the 24-hour in Dubai and the 6-hour at Nürburgring Team BLACK FALCON has already won the qualification of this year’s edition – a good omen for the final 24h race The three BLACK FALCON Mercedes-AMG GT3 of the SP 9 class have chances of winning the overall title in the Green Hell Also in this class: The Lamborghini Huracan GT3 by Konrad Motorsport and the Ferrari 488 GT3 by Wochenspiegel Team Monschau In the SP 9-LG Aston Martin Racing sends the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 into the race The three teams all rely on a modular damper system with 4-way high-performance adjustment system from thyssenkrupp Bilstein These motorsport shock absorbers offer a very wide range of independent damping force adjustments and with one rebound and three bump forces individual setting options With the adjustable dampers featuring a 10-step scale system of thyssenkrupp Bilstein motor sport professionals are perfectly equipped for every track conditions – be it rain In addition several cars that are equipped with 2-way adjustment system from BILSTEIN hope for class victories a Mercedes-AMG GT4 and a Porsche 991 Carrera by BLACK FALCON as well as an Aston Martin Vantage GT8 from the AMR Performance Center The multiple adjustment options in rebound and bump are essential for motorsports But more adjustment options also create a greater margin for error In order to reduce the efforts of meticulous documentation of all changes thyssenkrupp Bilstein has invented a 10-step scale system with click feedback for the adjustment range Each set-up variant can be defined and documented with a numerical code The thyssenkrupp Bilstein concept to make set-up as easy as possible starts even earlier Pre-calculated physical shock absorber models allow the pioneer of gas-pressure shock absorber technology to supply a basic setup for most cars which then only requires small adjustments in the further development by the team mechanics If the fine adjustment turns out to be the wrong solution or if the track conditions change abruptly – as so often with rain at the Nürburgring – it only takes a few clicks to use an alternative set-up or to reset to the neutral position Another advantage: no tools are required for adjustment which shortens conversion time even further This allows the teams to prepare different setups in advance – for example for different weather conditions or drivers – and to write them down as numerical codes The big goals for the Nürburgring are perfectlyin line with the brand statement of thyssenkrupp Bilstein: Drive the legend “Legends never give up – they always strike back” says Florian Hägemann “And when it’s at the Nürburgring Nordschleife It’s here that we test our products – under the hardest of conditions on the most dangerous race track of the world The desire to win the 24-hour race is an inner drive for us This is what we work for time and time again – persistently For this reason BILSTEIN has written something big on the flags this year: The legend strikes back. The ambitious motto for the 46th ADAC Zurich 24-hour race is equally a tribute to all the thyssenkrupp Bilstein partners who have received a special platform in years gone by with the thyssenkrupp Bilstein LEGENDS concludes Martin Flick: “We are looking forward to the new requirements of the 24-hour race we are ready and in support of all partners fans and friends who are using our shock absorbers and for those who would like to once again have a cool and hopefully successful time at the Ring.” Marketing can be fun: For the 24h race at the Nürburgring BILSTEIN relies on the charm of its LEGENDS series and shouts out to their competitors: The legend strikes back Similarities to famous space tales possible… Marketing can be fun: For the 24h race at the Nürburgring, BILSTEIN relies on the charm of its LEGENDS series and shouts out to their competitors: The legend strikes back!

When I recently found out that the owner of this dedicated track S15 Silvia manages to lap Tsukuba in 55-sec I knew I had to dedicate a small post to this incredible car. Suzuki-san, the owner, had his time attack project built by Scorch Racing and Ennepetal with a goal of achieving the fastest possible amateur time around the small Ibaraki-ken circuit For a privateer to achieve times dedicated tuning shops employing professional drivers would boast about And the base of this project also raises some questions something that would easily deploy tons of power to the ground without much drama the M-Speed GT-R and the Cyber Evo are all 4WD Suzuki-san is without a doubt a purist preferring simplicity and lightness over heavier computer controlled efficiency His S15 proves that you don't need to have a limitless budget tons of carbon fiber and a successful racing career to get impressive results a pinch of ingenuity and natural ability behind the wheel Suzuki-san is an office worker by day and during his free evenings and nights he spends time working on slowly perfecting every aspect of his Silvia On top of the serious diet the S15 has been put on the engine boasts some pretty hardcore modifications The forged and stroked bottom end is joined by an SR20VE head This allows it to develop a decent amount of widely-spread torque as well as high top-end power A custom inlet plenum helps boost response and give an equal amount of air to each of the cylinders The 800 cc/min injectors are fed via a custom fuel system and Reimax fuel rail The KKK K27 is run at a very high 2.1~2.3 bar of boost and thanks to additional tuning the engine has managed to develop an additional 50 HP bringing total power up to 681.2 HP to the wheels with a calculated flywheel HP figure of 721.4 HP Bilstein adjustable dampers were supplied by Ennepetal while wheels are Volk Racing RE30s Now that the SR20 is developing even more power Suzuki-san will be fitting twin rear carbon canards to further help keep the car planted through the faster corners at Tsukuba The interior might not be pretty but it's functional The mess of wiring is there because in the pursuit of lightness the dash and trim has been removed You can see the tall lever that actuates the 6-speed sequential transmission and the Racepack IQ3 data logger Suzuki-san believes 2010 will be the year when his S15 will make it into the 54-sec, something that will no doubt have a lot of the tuning shops getting a little more worried of privateers! For more info and to follow the development of the car check out Suzuki-san's blog 55 seconds is a very quick time and I hope he hits 54 this year It really gives hope to individuals trying to make it in time attack Wow Insane...I hope he puts a digicam in there while he breaks into the 54 it feels good to see an s-chassis (privateer at that) put up times at Tsukuba that can hang with the best of em.Spec-R>all I bow my head to the awesomeness that is this car and to the people behind it but intake manifolds are not designed to give "equal amount of air to each cylinder".ITB's do that.Great car nontheless Wishing all the best for this owner/driver All of the Time Attack series need to give him a invitation to their next events I also love how he goes against the notion of the S-chassis as a car for drifting RAWEST TRACK VIDEO EVARR!!!camera car is the S15http://eyevio.jp/movie/335039 Whao!That's one bad ass S15.Tuff engine mods.No Luxury interior for this car haha S-chassis are great becuase they can seriously do everything except mudding I think this shows the engineering that goes into the development of the parts used to build the car For the bespoken parts great job but the off the shelf parts used are working together great Plus a great driver...Amazing car and amazing results but I still think he could make it look a little better They're thrust bearing and far less responsive than a similar sized Garrett Big power and puposeful; thats the way to do it I'm usually not a big fan of body panels being different colors but it somehow works pretty well on this car I believe the fact that its producing 720hp from its SR20 helps me overlook what it lacks in visuals And I hope Suzuki-san breaks the 54 second barrier this year I get the feeling that Taniguchi-san and his CT230R are getting a little nervous right about now Looking like 19" to me!Why no lexan windows in the rear This car is all the inspiration I need for my S14 being re-built into a time attack car Spewing his blog is only in Japanese I'd love to read more about it Its a pity there isnt some more info on what hes done under the car I'm sure there is some pretty impressive suspension mods happening It is designed to give "equal amount of air to each cylinder" This just became my favourite Time Attack machine And here I was thinking that drag racing in Japan was well and truly dead well I've opened a bit of a can of worms here..
