Not sure if this is true or not but I heard that Pacenotes has a Picture of Genes Corolla from the Galway Rally and there is a big flame coming from the exhaust. Is this normal?

 

[Graham Curry]

it is indeed normal even group N cars do it but it's a split second thing so extreemly hard to get a picture of unless a rather quick camera

 

[Ctdprep]

in a WRC car, usually yes.. its caused by the exhaust fumes exploding in the exhaust.. i think ?

oh my god...have you even been to a rally never mind see what a rally car does for example, bang and flame form exhaust caused by the antilag......wake up lad

 

[Graham Curry]

from the best of my knowledge and i stand corrected but because the air is shut off by lifting off the throttle and due to the anti lag shooting fuel into the turbo to keep it spinning the fuel ignites in the extreme temperatures of the exhaust and hence bangs and flames !

Hey wrcIreland Im just asking a fucking question, I forgot you were born knowing absolutely everything

You're right. Thats why naturally aspirated cars will do it too. Turbo cars do it more so as a result of the anti-lag, because fuel's injected into the exhaust to keep the turbo spinning at a high rpm!

i just ammended the 1st post there when i figured what antilag does as it has more to do with the corolla LOL

Maybe you were asking a genuine question and thats fair enough but with all the S*** at the minute it might have been better to ask "Can flames come out of rallycars". There is alot of people on here anti-Donnelly and if he walked sideways they would question if it was legal.

Rallynews clearly states Rab McDonald is to inspect Eugene s car and until then all this B*******e has to stop.

(obviously ... the photo below is only a portion of the overal limage!!)
