January Testing
January 10, 2008
Ever since the concept for CR04 was first conceived one area had split the team. Do we run a differential or a spool? There was only one way to settle the argument. A scheme was developed to modify the CR03B diff into a spool. So, over a series of cold January days the Cardiff Racing descended on a disused airfield to test the now spool equipped CR03B. Both driver feedback and lap times have shown the spool to be certainly equal if not better than the differential in terms of performance. As a result of this testing, CR04 will now designed for a spool based drivetrain.
