CUSCO
RACING is now back in the 2006 Super GT Championship, and
competing in GT300 class starting from Rd. 5 Sport land
SUGO on July 22nd-23rd, after 10 month of R&D for brand
new racing machine.
Brand new CUSCO SUBARU ADVAN IMPREZA is the first ever AWD
GT car with Transaxle gearbox. There has been no participation
of AWD racing car for Super GT/JGTC for 10years, after the
Skyline GT-R in 1996.
Development of our 2006 machine was started 1 year ago.
Until the end of 2005, we were the only Subaru competing
in Super GT/JGTC, and the machine was RWD to avoid the weight
increase. On 2006 model, we had successfully lessened the
weight by developing new body and chassis, and re-designing
the roll cage. Now, brand new 2006 machine had gained the
advantage of traction by far from 2005 RWD model, and the
identity of SUBARU Impreza, which has symmetrical AWD system.
Exterior design is still almost the same as 2005 model,
but Front fender and Rear wing was re-designed considering
the Aero dynamics and air drag.

Engine
is tuned by STi (Subaru Technica International) as we have
done in past years. STi had added their experiences in WRC,
and succeeded to add the Low RPM torque, improve Anti-lug
system (miss-firing system) and minimize the fuel consumption.
Surprisingly, Exhaust pipe is located in front of the Front
left tire.
Almost everything except for the original chassis and engine
was designed and developed by Carrosser/CUSCO Racing in
house, including AWD gearbox and Suspension. Both Front
and Rear suspension are changed to inboard type double wishbone
type, and Wheelbase is extended from 2525mm in 2005 model,
into 2540mm, which is same as SUBARU Impreza WRX STi SpecC.
Drivers are still the same, Katsuo Kobayashi and Tatsuya
Tanigawa, since 1999. |
