Delorean Racing Car

Awesome, thanks for the share!

That car looks f-ing sweet. Love the rims and the big logo on the hood. Glad to hear it did well in the race too. It makes you wonder what could have been if the company didn't close up shop so soon.

It looks like a lot of fun and I'm glad to see that Martin did well on the track. Might there be anymore pictures of this car?

Thank you for your interest in our project! You will find a lot of pictures and more informations on our homepage www.deloman.de . The direct link to the racing team:

The site is in german language, but google will help... We planed to write the sites again in english.

Oh wow, a full on race Delorean. That is an awesome car. The craftsmanship I see there is truly amazing. I love it.

Great looking car, well done!

Regarding the extra link onto the front lower control arm, pictured here:



did you change anything with the sway bar attachment to make this work? Did you use a different sway bar with drop links?

I have seen pictures of Lotus Esprit's with a similar setup but wondered how it works in the real world if you stop the lower arm being able to move in an arc while not modifying the sway bar?

Thanks,
John

That thing is awesome Wolfgang. I love that you kept the PRV, though with a little power boost (200HP?)

Awesome! Nice job representing the breed!

In regards to the extra lower link, this allows you to set the caster, which is normally... fairly "fluid" in the DeLorean, due to the sway bar doubling as the track rod...

What component did you use for the bit that attaches to the control arm? The rest of the stuff there I can get from from various places for circle track cars for fairly cheap, but that one but I could not easily find - do you have a source? I'd love to do this to my own street car!

Is this the proper modification to give the lower LCA a more 'wishbone'-type setup?
