Default Chronos Racing - Projects, builds, customer cars, Nürburgring


Hey guys,
Chronos Racing is my company and we just started our business recently, we focus on making high performance parts for the F models, tested on the German Autobahn with no speed limits and the famous Nürburgring.
I would like to post all our photos and projects here since I think it could be interesting for you guys to see what’s going up in Europe 👍

First some pictures from the first VLN run some weeks ago at the Nürburgring, Gazoo Racing was testing the new prototype LC500 for the upcoming 24h races while Novel was preparing the RCF GT.
Hopefully that the LC500 will Rock the race in its class 🚀

Interesting!

I’m actually based in the U.K.

Hopefully you have plans for some IS-F parts?

Believe mine is one of the most tuned in Europe, but always room for further tuning and improvement!

Look forward to reading more about you.

Cheers,


Pete

Hi mate, yes, SC is wicked!

Be even better once I add the OS Giken and some bigger wheels and tyres, but it’s a lot of fun!

Thank you guys!

Can post the full ISF CCSR Specs if you are interested, the LC specs are top secret, nobody could tell me anything, even the other Japanese teams couldn’t say anything so far.

We are currently working on some parts, strut bars and sway bars are coming next, the low stiffness of the ISF is one of the biggest problems of this car.
Of course there are some options on the market already, but no real racing stuff and nothing that was really tested. We will offer exactly the same ones which are used in the CCSR race cars, they were tested for many years and they can’t be improved.
We will have them ready in May/June.

Also working on a full functional rear diffuser at the moment, the design is ready, working on the aerodynamic now.

Also some other stuff, but you will see it soon enough 👍 we are working on 3D scans of the ISF right now, so we can release all the body parts step by step.

Also offering light weight battery’s from our partner LiteBlox, it reduces the weight from 18Kg to 2.6 Kg...
It’s quite expensive (2000$ for the big one) since it’s 100% made in Germany, TÜV certificates, FIA certificated and used by nearly all racing teams at the Nürburgring, it’s the best battery and the only one which won’t cause any fire or electrical damage to the car. We did a lot of testing and it’s just awesome, additionally it can be controlled via App, in case there is any problem with it we can check everything, from the maximum temperature it had the last times to the voltage it had during the last starts.
And it has an App controlled Anti Theft system, when activated I need to unlock it with my phone, otherwise it’s not possible to start the car.
Attached some photos of our visit there and all the components they use 👍

My real passion are our events where we can show the race cars to people, they can touch them, sit in, ask questions and much more.
It’s one thing to explain people how light the carbon parts are, but it’s something completely different to lift of a full carbon hood or door with two fingers, only then people really understand what’s so special about race cars and all the materials.

We found a perfect partner for our events, Ring Racing is really well known since they are the number one Lexus racing team at the Nürburgring. These guys are really special cause they really love what they do, It’s not about the profit, it’s about to show the people the F passion and what’s so special about the cars.
