We are pleased to announce that Zircotec, the ceramic coating specialists will be a technical partner for the official VXR drag racing team in 2011.
Team principal Andy Frost says, “We have used Zircotec’s durable ceramic coating on Red Victor 2, our 2,200bhp car, with great success for a number of years. The exhaust manifolds and turbos on the car put out an amazing amount of heat yet, the Zircotec ceramic coating performed extremely well and never failed. We are very happy that they will be coating Red Victor 3’s whole exhaust and turbo housing in their ThermoHold ceramic material, particularly as there are some very delicate components around the exhaust area, which if not heat managed could get severely damaged.”
Peter Whyman, sales director of Zircotec adds, “We are pleased to be involved with the Red Victor 3 project. This car will deliver more than 3,000 bhp and will generate massive amounts of heat. This is the kind of application that a Zircotec heat resistant coating excels in. High performance engines require careful thermal management to perform at their optimum. Our coating will protect fuel and electrical systems from the effects of heat whilst also ensuring a performance advantage.”
Zircotec’s coatings are plasma sprayed offering a light, durable and effective thermal barrier that can reduce surface temperatures by over thirty percent. Used extensively in F1 and other motor sports, Zircotec’s coatings and flexible heat shield material ZircoFlex are also available to protect road and race performance and classic cars, helping to improve reliability, safety and performance through better heat management.
The team is very pleased to be associated with Zircotec and look forward to using their product with confidence.

The ‘sparks’ are really flying now, as we are proud to welcome Magnecor as our ignition lead supplier, along with their technical backup and advice to the team.
Team principal Andy Frost says "We used their excellent KV85 8.5mm Competition leads on RV2 and had no heat or reliability issues whatsoever. We are very happy that Magnecor are not only supplying their top cable, but are giving us technical support on the ignition aspects of the project.
One of the critical things with high boost, turbo methanol engines is spark ‘blowout’. With Magnecor involved the team, the job has become a lot easier."
Phil de Wit, managing director of Magnecor says " We are really excited to be working on the VXR/ Red Victor 3 project, as there is nothing like a challenge on the technical side and to having a ‘presence’, with such a professional outfit as Andy’s”.
The team are really looking forward to working with Phil and Magnecor in the upcoming 2011 MSA pro modified season. You can check out Magnecor’s product line at www.magnecor.co.uk
