Tsuiso Race Format

During a Tsuiso round battle (referred to as a twin-run), one car follows another through the course, attempting to keep up with or even pass the car in front. The round battle will begin in the rolling start formation. Distance between 2 cars for the rolling start position will be 1 metre. Participants must obey the 20km/h speed limit before the starting line; there is strictly no acceleration at 20km/h and overtaking before the starting line. Once the lead car passes the starting line, it can accelerate full-throttle and timing will begin. Handicap will be given for the chasing car; in the case of any overtaking by the chasing car after the starting line, the over-taker will straight away be the winner. Once a car passes through the finishing line, timing will be stopped.

To determine the winner for a round, differences of time between two cars will be compared according to the handicap given as below:

Within same category

Handicap: 2 seconds

Between category (A vs B) or (B vs C)

Handicap: 4seconds

Between category A vs C

Handicap: 6 seconds

The match will be divided into 3 individual laps with a rotating position. Participant who won 2 out of 3 rounds (sudden death) will be the winner for the match. Winner will proceed to the next following match.

i.e.: Car A and car B starts in rolling start position maintaining the speed at 20km/h before the starting line. Car A accelerates full-throttle once it has passes through the starting line; followed by car B consecutively once it has passes through the starting line. Timing for car A will start after it passes through the starting line; followed by car B. Once car A passes through the finish line, timing for car A stops; this applies to car B simultaneously.

On race day, the top field of 32 drivers paired up based on seeding position will be weeded down to one final winner.

Strut Bar / Strut Brace

Strut Bar / Strut Brace

Strut bar deem to be one of the most common car modification by all drivers, but how well you know on the actual function of strut bars?

Both Front Strut Bar and Rear Strut Bar are mainly the most common strut bars available in the aftermarket. In general, the car’s chassis is supported by the wheels and suspensions which mean that the impact and shock force during driving is to be transmitted and absorb by the suspension. However, the impact will not be fully absorbed by the suspension as commonly general car’s chassis are usually not strong enough. In such situation, the common issue that would arise would be chassis flex. Applying the concept into situation of when the car entering corner, due to the weight transfer chassis flex will then occur if the cassis is not strong enough.

Function of strut bars will particularly become more significant in car with a MacPherson strut suspension system. With MacPherson strut suspension system where the spring and shock absorber are combined in the one suspension unit, the entire vertical suspension load is transmitted to the top of the vehicle's strut tower, unlike a double wishbone suspension where the spring and shock absorber may share the load separately. Hence, the strut bars which connect the strut tower can significantly improve suspension efficiency by reducing the strut tower flex. This transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering which ties the two towers together and reduces chassis flex. To accomplish this effectively, the bar must be rigid throughout its length (2 point strut bar) and it's even more effective if it is attached to the firewall of the car (3 point strut bar).

In Malaysia's aftermarket, one of the favorite aftermarket Strut Bar by the car enthusiast would undoubtedly Ultra Racing. The products are generally available in various car tuning and accessories workshop. It's time to get your car the Strut Bars to enhance the thrill of driving!
