More potential solutions to the problematic Gen3 wheels are in action today, as the pivot towards electric rattle guns begins. RepcoSC
That joint effort is continuing at the all-in test at Sydney Motorsport Park today with different clip designs from the likes of Tickford Racing, Erebus Motorsport and Triple Eight being shared among the teams.As for the spindle issue, teams have been complaining about the difficulty of mounting cold rims to the car when the wheel hub is hot from on-track running.
In theory they should be able to switch to quieter electric guns for use in the garage, while still using the air guns for pitstops. However most teams are continuing to use pneumatic guns, the key exceptions being Grove Racing, which is using a mix of both, and Erebus, which has made the switch to cordless impact wrenches as part of its association with Snap-on.
“Using electric wheel guns was something common in GT racing with Snap-on and now building it into the new Gen3 cars with the wheel nut change is fantastic," said Erebus CEO Barry Ryan. “We look forward to giving Snap-on technical feedback and seeing if we can help further develop the tools.”
