Torque Developments retained as performance validator by three Lotus championships
Torque Developments is delighted to have been retained by three of the key official Lotus racing series, as official performance validator.
Covering the popular Lotus Cup UK, Cup Europe and Lotus On Track Elise Trophy, the role, which began in 2008, is a recognition of Torque Development’s technical capabilities and it’s ability to accurately and impartially measure a race car’s power output both on site and at the circuit using its advanced Rototest hub dyno.
All three Lotus series feature classes divided into strict power limits and Torque Development’s role it to police these classes and ensure equality of performance within a reasonable tolerance level.
Each entrant must present that season’s current power curve from Torque Developments as part of the pre race scrutinnering process, meaning that the entire field of all the three championships has to undergo pre-season dyno testing at the firm’s Thurrock base.
The portable nature of the company’s Rototest dyno also enables Torque Developments to conduct post qualifying dyno ‘spot checks’ unannounced at the circuits throughout the season – if the peak horsepower result is higher than the prevailing class limit then the drivers are relegated to the back of the grid or the car is barred from competing until a legal power test result is acheived.
Commenting on the role, Torque Development’s Sam Borgman said “It’s an honour to continue our association with these prestigious series and it’s fantastic promotion for Torque Developments. We’re delighted to play an important part in ensuring that these Lotus championships retain their close, but fair racing.”
