Hi all,

Just in case anyone dosnt have Facebook and follow our page we’re back!

So the news you have all been waiting for.....

This year will see the return of the Cerbera!

Today we have confirmed our entry into the GT Cup Championship.

The car will stay in a very similar state of tune to when it last raced, we have new suspension and a different tyre set up to help us find some lap time. The 4.7 AJP will be used as always but with a new engine a management system from Syvecs, this will be coupled to a new lower ratio differential to give some extra drive out of the corners.

We will also be entering a few rounds of the UK Time Attack for some extra fun and Jap rivalry! Should be quite an experience.

We will quite possibly announce a passenger day at Brands Hatch so keep checking the page......

Just in case anyone wants to be involved we have the bonnet and both doors available for any advertising 😉.

The first race meeting is at Donington Park on the 21st of April, then Brands Hatch and then of to Spa Francorchamps.

I will post a more detailed calendar including the races we will be entering in the mk1 Escort and the Bowler once our first test sessions are completed. CerberaV8Racing 3 cars and 14.1 litres of AJP power! Can’t wait for the 2018 season!

All our updates and calendar can be found on our Facebook page Cerberav8racing.

It’s been a while and would be great to see some Cerberas at the race meetings!

Cheers
Mike

Likewise. Please keep this thread going. Posting the calendar here will make it easy to find for Fakebookers too when they can't find it there! 😄

Fantastic! The Youtube footage is some of the most gripping racing I have seen, so I hope you are still going to post on there. Have you considered a crowd funding initiative to support your efforts?

At the moment all my effort is going into getting the car ready for early testing, Powers Performance have already helped out and I’m hoping to attract some more financial help along the way.

The YouTube channel will get each race uploaded including all the other stuff we’re doing with the Bowler and the Escort.

Cheers

Two, maybe three years ago I was marshalling at Silverstone on post at Luffield IN and saw Mike storm the car to pole during qually - and then 'lunch' the others to take 1st in the 'Tetrapak' (?) European challenge.

Keep us posted!!

Great to hear you are getting back out the Rest!

Can I ask one question, why the choice of ECU, is it to overcome the issue that came up at Silverstone a few years ago?

Syvecs make a great product, the main reason is for easier and more exact mapping, with the added benefit of being able to add lots of features if we choose to. Such as knock control, flat shift and bloopers for a sequential gearbox etc.

Could you update the forum with the extra power you are able to release please.

I have been pondering doing this myself but not sure on the gains I would get from wide band Lambdas and knock sensors but it is quite a bit off dosh so would be good to get an idea of the gains.

See you at a couple of the races, been waiting to get my 99 tee shirt out again.

A couple of updates that I have posted on the Facebook page.

The New Carbone Lorraine Rc8R pads have arrived which look awesome worth their cooling veins.



We will be running the CL pads all round this year, they really do make a difference.

Also our Carbon wheel have arrive back from Reverie after being refurbished. They have done a great job! Just a shame they won’t stay this nice for long..... the first bit of car to car contact will see to that!







Things are starting to gather momentum now, the first race being at Donington on the 21st of April.
