What is your team working with at the moment? - Some parts have returned back home after being repaired. Right now the guys are checking out the heads, putting short blocks ready, even some flight tickets have been booked. Still waiting for shipments from USA, which will include some clutch discs, cranks and a brand new clutch grinder. Still a lot to do, but nice progres by so far.

What are you plans and goal for the race season 2012? Tests at Tierp if possible in May and to run all the (6) FIA Championship events. Our goal is to run fast, consistent runs. And cross the finish line before the opponent fellow racer. Each time.

Jean and team Dulamon are currently the only French team in the FIA Pro Modified class. They entered the class in 2011 and to the question what he is up to in the work shop for the time being, Jean tells he is rebuilding a damaged engine to a new 738 cui NOS and also servicing the rear axle. 

Team Dulamon plans to participate in at least four FIA Championship event 2012 (out of 6) and also the three MSA UK Pro Mod Championship Events at Santa Pod.

The team is working to get me more safe with Simpsons parts, rebuilding the “office” in the car . We are also waiting for some parts from Bickels race car – the studs will have a tune up. Otherwise the same setup as before.

The plan for 2012 is to go under 7sek and validate some problems that we had under 2011, this mean no tire burns to the finish and also the shorter way. We will race in Tierp and Alastaro and if the bus works then we will go to Germany (this year we skip England).

Team R/T FIA Pro Stock, Sweden with driver Thomas Lindström. The team settled fantistically well during their first season in the class 2011 and with the support of Ernryd Cars team R/T have been able to aim for top positions from day one.



What is your team working with at the moment? - Right now we are looking over the entire car so that it will be fit for fight in april. We have updated the chassis with some new frontstruts so we can hook the car a little better. Thanks to Ernrydcars we have one new updated Hemi engine on its way to Sweden. So this year we will be running two engines.

A new trailer has been bought and the grapichs, made by Kris, is printed by Wrapzone and ready to put on. We are also working with team apparel this year, so new team clothing provided by Vicci, and cool moparshirts for al the moparfans have been ordered and will be sold at all FIA races and on our website. The team is exited and we have been working hard this winter to make this happend. We also like to welcome Verkstadspartner.se and Wrapzone.net as proud sponsors of Team R/T.
