Pim van Riet goes for gold. The experiend driver has only one goal, to win. With the car he drives he can: The Radical SR8 is very rapidly with its 8 cylinders, 440 horsepower, 600 pounds: Pim van Riet tells us. “I drive about 260 on straight ends”. The Radical has a high speed cornering and its handling is phenomenal. Intrax Suspension has ensured us of that, they are the experts in tuning cars.
Van Riet sets high goals and goes for the win. “in terms of speed it should be possible and if everything is correct, we are the fastest car on the track. Going for the title”he said combative.

 Nieuwjaarsrace 14 II

 With a starting field that extends into the Arie Luyendyk curve, the car and motorsport season 2014 is ushered at circuit Park Zandvoort in the traditional New Years race. A colorful field of 43 cars, divided into four divisions, is hopefully the prelude to a great season. Among the participating cars there are great cars like Radical SR8, Renault Megane, Wolf GB08, Marcos Mantis, BMW Z4, Saker, Hansen GTR, Subaru Impreza and of course a variety of BMW’s, Porsches, Clio’s and Seats.

 Henk Thuis captured in his Radical SR8 in the final seconds of qualifying, pole position at the Renault Megane of father and son Braams.In the warm up lap, Thuis slid on his still cold tires off the track into the gravel, but was fortunate to take his beautiful starting position.

However, with a car full of gravel, he came painfully away, leaving Max Braams to arrive first in the Tarzan curve and he already drove away seconds from his pursuers in the first rounds.

Thuis quickly regained his rhythm, drove to the Megane and grabbed the lead in the race after just a few laps left. The Radical then drove simply away from his pursuers to build a big lead. The Megane was also too strong and the two leading cars could pass all others within 5 minutes. After 25 rounds of racing Thuis had a lead of more then twenty seconds on Braams, Wolf from Bas Koeten Racing followed a lap behind in third place.

After an hour and 31 rounds of racing Thuis comes in and Pim van Riet takes over the wheel of the Radical. The Megane of Braams took the lead and Wolf of Bas Koeten Racing takes the second position. Van Riet resumed the race in third place.

Congratulations to Henk Jan Ronitz with championship F1 Stockcar

Succes for Henk Jan Ronitz

A few seasons ago F1 Stockcar rider Henk Jan Ronitz was a asphalt specialist. After to have raced for more than 20 years on the hard surface he switched to gravel/land. Many victories fell to his share. Where he finished third in 2012, he closed this season with the championship track champion F1 Stockcar of Speedway Emmen 2013.

Henk Jan could have won the finales too, but took the safe side and finishes behind winner 137 Jelle Hiemstra and in third place 759 Erwin Goenga.

The ASE Grand National Final for F1 Stockcars was the last contest of the day. Participation was not so big, but it was a wonderfull competition. Henk Jan Ronitz also won this race en may call himself ASE CN 2013 champion.

Intrax designs shocks for the Mercedes G AMG with our unique ARC System

The Mercedes G AMG (55 and 63) is one of the roughest toughest cars that are for sale these days. It still looks like a true off-roader should look and thanks to its rigid axles, actually always comes there what its appearance suggests. Perhaps it can be much more than what it is used for in practice in many countries including the Netherlands. This has the result that the car is actually too hard suspension/ muted for the surface on which it runs 99,5% of the time.

Often the car is perceived as too bumpy. Driving the street vowels is still pretty bumpy at low speeds, some women squirt some extra hairspray in order not to get out of the car with too wild hair and when driving off the speed bumps it seems like they are kicked against the backrest. At higher speeds (where these machines are seriously capable of) the car is defined as “seeking” and if a turn is taken with a high speed it becomes a real men car and you’ll have your hands full. We know that the 63 is a lot better than the 55 butt there still is room for improvement.

Intrax has developed, thanks to its unique ARC® (Anti Roll Control) system, dampers for this car that content and suffice 99,5% of the time and even perform perfectly by a simple adjustment of the damper when driven at high speed in a very rugged terrain.Thanks to the ARC® system it is possible to assemble the dampers with all its advantages such as greater comfort, without the disadvantages as more role and diving from the chassis. Also thanks to this system the car is not only more stabilized at high speeds and you can still change the radiostation at a turn, it also drive’s off speed bumps and street vowels without reminding you that you are driving a very tough all-terrain vehicle. It deals with these circumstances now as you would expect from a “normal”car in this price class.

The Intrax shock absorber is made to endure all the extreme situations which may come to pass. The protective cover is powder coated and the house and spindle of the shock absorber feature our Black Titan coating. This extremely hard coating is also used in the military aircraft industry in order to protect them from the harsh enviremonts where they end up in. The shock absorbers will therefore survive without problems in the dunes of Dubai as well as on the frozen peaks of Lapland. Therefore, Intrax has equiped the shock absorber with a thermostat so that it will function steady under all conditions.
