Blackbox Motorsport Exocet Track Car - USA
Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2014 3:57 pm
Hi guys,
I had the pleasure on the weekend of spending time out with Roman & Dave of Blackbox Motorsport as they did more suspension, steering and tyre testing out at Willow Springs, California. The event was run on the short track which has plenty of elevation changes and oval track type cambered corners.
Their Exocet runs a Rotrex supercharged NB8A BP engine (stock JDM import) and no fairing at this stage. Its grip is purely mechanical with no aero whatsoever. Their advised rwhp (if my memory serves me correctly) was around the 220 mark. I'm not sure of the boost level....but as you can see in the photos it is intercooled.
Here's a few photos of it in action....
I even got to experience its very impressive performance first hand ... but from the passenger seat!
I will be eagerly following their development over the coming months.
Cheers,
Danny
