Here you are my video from the 2014 Monster Energy Monza Rally Show. Many Ford Fiesta WRCs, a few new Peugeot 208 T16s and Citroen DS3 R5s, some donuts, anti-lag backfires and a high humidity level. #monzarallyshow #monza #rally #wrc #ford #citroen #peugeot
Awesome stuff, especially the night-time shots! Again, hats off to your logistics - knowing when to be where and to have the camera ready at the right time... You´ve once more left me sitting here with a big grin on my face even after i´m done watching.
Why does these Fiesta's exhausts glow so much? Its like there are torches inside! I mean, the engines are mounted front right? The whole exhaust pipe must be practically in flames so! Its not like Porsches whose exhausts glow because they are closer to the manifolds and there isnt so much room for heat dissipation... Is there something different with the Fiestas? Its damn beautiful to see this also haha! Just wandering...
The "glow" you see is just the hot catalytic converter that it's placed at the end of the exhaust (the whole exhaust isn't glowing). It's placed in this extreme position because if it was in the "standard place" it would be destroyed by the anti lag system and it don't melt down
Thanks a lot man, I've been seeing all these Fiestas glowing a lot (from your videos and from many more) and always wondered why only them glow like that! Its a bit weird to see competition cars with catalytic converters isn't?
io sono dalla Spagna e l'anno prossimo mi piacerebbe andare a monza spettacolo raduno ma non ho informazioni su di esso è, se ho bisogno di pagare un biglietto d'ingresso , ecc Potreste darmi qualche informazione o confermare se quest'anno sta andando a farlo di nuovo . grazie e scusa per il mio traduttore italiano
Even when the car is at full acceleration? My understanding of anti lag is when the driver is off the throttle to keep the boost up by retarding ignition.
It's caused by the hot cat welded at the end of the exhaust. You can see that "afterburner" effect because the exhaust gases are at very high temperatures when they come out there and it's a typical aspect of the latest Ford WRC cars ;)
Should be just because he turned off the anti lag system, leave the car in off-throttle with the hot catalyst (not 100% this is the explanation). Sometimes I've seen this thing happen to the Mini WRCs and Ford WRCs too
Quella a 1:12 è una 208 T16. Ufficialmente la Peugeot 208 R5 si chiama 208 T16 (senza "R5" ad indicare la classe di omologazione rally). Scommetto che tu ti aspettavi il "mostro" che aveva guidato Loeb alla Pikes Peak, ma quella si chiama 208 T16 Pikes Peak
Uccio was way faster than Rossi.... no real surprises there. Its bullshit how Rossi won't let Uccio ride the M1 when everyone knows that Uccio has the pace.
