2010 SEASON
REVIEW
The Motorkars racing program for 2010 was
a roller coaster season that ended with Matt Markowicz
winning the GTS2 championship the final weekend of the
season at Putnam Park in October. The solid finish was due
in part to the various improvements and modifications
performed by Team Motorkars to the A4 Turbo Quattro allowing
Matt to push the racekar harder than ever on the track. The
check list of changes performed were as follows:
1. Installed adjustable coil over suspension with increased rear
negative camber and lower ride height (to minimize underbody
drag).
2. Modified front splitter (to increase front down force and assist
in guiding air around car).
3. Fabricated rear diffuser (to increase rear down force through
created a decrease in pressure at rear underbody and
allowing atmospheric pressure to push down on rear of car
from above).
4. Added induction software update to
maintain a consistent level of boost pressure and minimize
turbo lag between shifts and periods of throttle lift.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2010
SEASON:
-
The partial rain races at Putnam Park.
-
Passing a Dodge Viper which has 3 times the horsepower, on the
outside of turn eight (an uphill off-camber turn) in the
rain.
-
Hearing comments from the other driver's on how fast the Motorkars
Audi is in the rain. The true beauty of Audi's
Quattro all-wheel drive system is the ability to
maintain consistent levels of performance throughout
inconsistent weather conditions
-
Being part of a family in the truest sense of the word. Definitely
more than just driving a car fast around a racetrack.
-
Reflecting back on where we started and how far we have come.
-
Being congratulated by fellow race
drivers and directors on a great season.
-
After finishing in 3rd place for the 2009
season it was very satisfying for Team Motorkars and
Matt to end the season on a high note by finishing in
1st place in GTS2 at the end of the 2010 season.
Normally we would be focusing on the upcoming
racing season and racekar improvements but we have decided
to go on hiatus for the 2011 racing
season.
Many heartfelt thanks to all of the crew
members and sponsors who helped make 2010 a successful year
for Team Motorkars.
