  • DBR 9 – the Definitive History
    www.porscheroadandrace.com DBR 9 – The Definitive History Published: 6th January 2021 By: Glen Smale Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/dbr-9-the-definitive-history/ DBR 9 – The Definitive History by Christoph Mäder and Thomas Gruber © T.A.G. Motor Books GmbH At Porsche Road & Race, we receive many books for review, and these include books on all manner of high performance roadgoing sports cars and motorsport. So, when the Aston Martin book, DBR 9 – The Definitive History arrived on my desk, it created some fanfare because not only was it a large parcel, but it was also a very heavy one. Intrigued, I set about opening it, and to be quite honest, it was unlike any other book I had previously had the privilege of reviewing. In a nutshell, this book created a watershed in my opinion, www.porscheroadandrace.com showing just how a definitive book on any automotive subject should be undertaken. Darren Turner, Aston Martin factory driver at the 2014 WEC Silverstone 6 Hour So impressive was this piece of work, that I decided at the time that it could not be reviewed in the normal sense of the word. And so I tracked down Darren Turner, the longest standing Aston Martin works driver, and one who was deeply involved in the development of the DBR 9 from the outset, and I conducted an interview with him at Le Mans in 2016. But wasn’t it a bit of an overkill to do an interview with a racing driver just for a book review, you might ask? No not really, and if you get your hands on a copy of the book, you will understand why! The quotes below are excerpts from my interview with Turner in the Aston Martin hospitality suite at Le Mans, and do not form part of the book itself.

  • Performance Tuner Magazine Article TECH : Dyno Discrepancies Transcribed Because of Image Quality
    Performance Tuner Magazine Article TECH : Dyno Discrepancies Transcribed because of image quality Subtitle : Think of a Number Performance is a numbers game. But just how reliable are those numbers when they’re produced on a rolling-road? We take one car to five different chassis dynamometers on the same day to answer that question. Story and photos : Peter Knivett Rolling-road thrashes : don’t you just love them? Gathering a group of similar machines together at some willing rolling road always makes for pretty interesting reading – and particularly the owner’s reactions after what can all too often be a disappointing power run. The textbook line is usually ‘I’m gutted, I thought it would make over 300bhp,’ when their pride and joy has actually made just 187 bhp. On the face of it, who’d argue with this disappointed punter’s line of thinking? After all, they’ve probably spent thousands of pounds on all the right tuning goodies, plus they ‘had a mate on an internet forum who’s told me it must be really quick, because his brother said so, and he worked at Prodrive once, and he knows what he’s talking about…’ Month in, month out, you see this sort of tale repeated across all sectors of the performance tuning market, and it never fails to amuse, because it’s a classic case of putting the component-expenditure cart before the testing horse. Despite melting his credit card by splashing out on tuning goodies our disappointed punter forgot to spend just 50-75 pounds having his car tested on a rolling-road, which could well have made a crucial difference to its ultimate performance.
