    td5inside @ Ultra4 Racing - King of Portugal

    Ultra 4 racing is famous for the King of hammers Race in the USA. The organiser, Dave Cole, has decided to start doing this Races in Europe, and so we had King of Portugal last weekend.

    Td5inside was there with 2 Land rovers, both in the C2 category.

    - 103" defender pick-up with 37" tyres and Nissan axles.




    - 90" defender with 35" tyres and full Ashcrofft axles.



    Both of the Cars have stock turbo, a bigger intercooler (Allisport and Alard) and a Stage 3+ remap - the pick-up is a bit more pushed up, cause the axles can handle it...

    We were gona racing against big guys with over 500bhp so we had to make td5 give it all.. Has promissed here in another thread, we made the car smoke, a lot

    The biggest teams from all over Europe where here, and one USA team! Highly modified Buggys, with big tyres, amazing axles, coilover, bypasses and big powerful LS engines. A lot of cars were over 500bhp, one of them claymed the 800bhp figure.

    Some of the guys:

    Team Buzz Sweets, from the UK, was so impressed with our td5´s performance, that they asked us to help them make theyr engine spin those big 40" tyres



    And so we did, and the big td5 is now part of the td5 inside brotherhood

    And now...the best bit...

    The 103" pick-up was 1st in its class and 3rd overall ( lefting behind many many 500+bhp machines)

    Little 90" was 3rd in its class and 8th overall.

    Team Buzz Sweets had issues with hidraulicsteering, broke 2 propshafts and a suspension link and ended up 11th in its class!
