In any form of endurance racing, keeping the driver hydrated is just as important as keeping the car running efficiently. Many teams in top level endurance racing, such as the 24hr du Mans and long distance rallying now use the Longacre bottle and feed tube to provide liquid to the helmeted driver.

With this in mind, heat insulation expert DEI has produced a thermal insulation kit to keep those liquids at the intended temperature for longer.

No more hot drinks when you’re racing through the desert on the Paris-Dakar Rally, or cold tea when you’re racing through the ice and snow on the Monte Carlo Rally. The DEI insulation kit insulates the entire bottle and holder as well as the drink tube.

The DEI Drink Bottle Insulation Cover is designed to be used with the Longacre Bottle 22551 and can be ordered as DEI part number 10910 at £134.42 plus import tax.

The Jaguar V12 from 1971 to 1995 was one of the greatest internal combustion engines ever made; it powered iconic cars such as the E-Type (XK-E), XJ12, XJ-S and several sucessful touring cars as well as 24hr du Mans GT cars. However, the un-initiated may have been put-off when it comes to tuning by the apparent complexity of the engine.

Fidanza has the solution to extract more performance from this powerhouse without touching the engine itself. A Fidanza lightweight flywheel will extract more performance from the power the engine already has.

A Fidanza lightweight flywheel is simple to install when the clutch is replaced and will bring the following benefits:

• Faster throttle response and quicker acceleration
• Additional horsepower to the wheels (reduced parasitic losses)
• Smoother, faster shifting
• Easier braking, better slowing (due to reduced rotational mass)
• Reduced clutch wear and improved efficiency (from better heat dissipation)
• Cost savings and longevity (thanks to Fidanza’s replaceable green friction plate – no need
to replace entire flywheel when worn)
• Potential for increased fuel economy (if you can keep your foot off the gas!)
• Quality and reliability (made in the USA from top grade materials)

A Fidanza lightweight flywheel for the 1971 – 1995 Jaguar V12 can be ordered as part number 119531 and retails at USD$499.99 plus shipping and tax.
