This Maloo is on a different level, not only does it have a presence few other cars can achieve sitting still – the powerplant hidden under that factory bonnet is enough to make your eyes water!
511 Cubes of Brad Anderson Hemi goodness straight out of a Blown Doorslammer and fed with Two Huge 94mm Precision Gen 1 Turbo’s drinking Methanol this car was always destined to go fast – really fast!
Another huge power car that came down to make the most of the time spent prepping the track to give the Radial boys what they had been wanting and asking for.
The RPM Parts and Performance Team along with Audio Image, ADR Engines and KarKulture Motorsport definitely made the most of the couple of days track hire, and while we weren’t able to get a clean pass on Day One they definitely made up for it on Day Two with an absolute ripper of a run once the track really started to come on!
The guys are already prepping the car to head East again for Midnight Mayhem and this test day was a solid chance to get the car all dialled and ready for that!
If you haven’t seen the behind the scenes documentary on what went into the track for the upcoming days prior to this event go and have a look!
The prep video has been months in the making – with alot of thought, effort and preparation behind the scenes (and we mean ALOT) to make this a truly unique and educational watch for anyone interested in learning just what it takes to turn a track from ‘ok’ to ‘elite’!
Seeing some of the W.A Radial Cars finally get the track they’ve been dreaming of here at the Perth Motorplex in Western Australia was a huge deal, and it’s definitely only just the beginning now that we’ve seen what is actually capable.
Check out the interviews with the experts – Justin, Lorenzo and Brendan to get the ins and outs of the weekend and what it took to put this educational documentary together.
