Welcome to Dallara398.com

Welcome to our website.  We compete in the UK's Monoposto Racing Club, which is intended to allow older single seater race cars to be used by ordinary folk at affordable prices. In 2007 we joined the club to begin our single seater racing career with a 1998 Reynard 883 Formula 3 car, and learnt very quickly that it's not easy to become or remain competitive. With a part-season behind us we launched into 2008 with the Reynard, our sights set on championship victory in the Classic Class. Our goals acheived, we acquired a 1998 Dallara F398 with which to compete in 2009, and finished our 'learning year' in 3rd place, with a couple of wins and several fastest laps. Our hope is the 2010 is our championship year, but as ever in motorsport you can never be sure of anything...

RacingExposure - help it get started!!!

Andrew - my brother, and founder of NorwichPhoto, who supplies Monoposto as official photographer - has set up a new Club Motorsport website blog/e-magazine thing following the closure of Track and Race Car Magazine - one of the few available magazines that catered for the club racer.  Please take a look, and get in touch with Andrew (via the contact form on the site or via Twitter) to discuss ideas, to get your championship covered (you can contribute stories from your race series), or to simply find out more.  This site will rely on the help of many individuals to make it a successful place for Club Racing to thrive in the future.

Testing Booked
Tuesday, 26 January 2010 17:14

It's always good to have a deadline! Now we do - Friday March 12th 2010 is now booked as our first test of the year, at Snetterton. We will be there the whole day, mostly to evaluate the new injection system and ECU, as well as to play with trumpet lengths and see how they feel on the circuit. As track time away from race meetings is scarce for us (lack of funds massively restricts our testing) we'll also try to cram in a few more things to evaluate that should help us start the season with strong pace.

The new engine is ready to go back into the car, which will then need some wiring finishing off and installing before we can run the car as a unit again. With 6 weeks or so until the test day we are in a strong position to be ready in plenty of time (but whether or not we are depends on everything else running smoothly).
 
New Engine shows gains
Monday, 25 January 2010 16:44
Our 2009 season was hardly disappointing, all things considered, least of all in the engine department where we seemed to be as strong as anyone else. For the 2010 season we aimed to improve aspects of the engine following an analysis of the dry sumping and oil pump arrangment. Two revisions were played with early in 2009, and the lessons learnt encouraged us to develop a new revision that will debut in the Dallara at a test day during March 2010. We have made noticeable gains in oil pressure and power output, all of which will help in our challenge for the 2010 Mono2000 championship. The engine has been run in on the Dyno this week (albeit on carburettors for simplicities sake), and is now ready to race!
