New Setup Little Rascal - Turbo + Supercharger

Little Rascal steaming towards a  7th place in Oudenhoorn

And here the turbo into supercharger setup
Team Little Rascal has come up this year with a new set-up to transfer a good amount of air into their V8. As many of you have seen the new set-up consists out of a turbo AND supercharger. Yes indeed. A turbocharger which blows air into a supercharger. Basically a 2-stage compressor on this 950kg modified machine. A pretty difficult set-up to get under control but the team is doing pretty well so far. The first run in Stroe went amazingly good for a first run with such a set-up. The 2nd run in Bernay(F) ended up in a backfire which caused the supercharger to blow of the engine. Last pull in Oudenhoorn the team took the 7th place with a descent running engine, just the back end was a bit 'loose'. Let's see whether this concept will turn out good !
