Ford Transit Trophy in the circuit of Jarama

 On Monday I spoke of the Spain-Iber GT Championship, but there was a trial that attracted more attention than any other Circuit del Jarama . For the first time in Spain (in October will see at the Circuito de Jerez) had the possibility of seeing moving vans of the Ford Transit Trophy. A championship of Portuguese origin that you already speak some time, but of course, is one thing to talk about and quite another to see van of competition at a circuit like the Madrid.
If something can be said in the first place is that the Ford Transit leave no one indifferent. Carrozada surface has no comparison (the dream of any sponsor) and the 180 HP of its diesel engine make their times quite interesting.

The Ford Transit Trophy roll of the Jarama circuit with a time of 2:05, a not insignificant given the power, weight, and above all, the large inertia. To correct this, all the gates are made of carbon fibre although this does not prevent that they lift the leg quite regularly.
That Yes, if I have to stay with an image is with the see the mechanics to download material from the van in the pit lane. Here the cars are no longer necessary to the Ford Transit fulfils its role beyond the runway. Even several of them came rolling on its own to the circuit. Two other curiosities.
These van are as quiet as the SEAT Leon TDI of the WTCC and the sound they cause is more aerodynamic than anything else. Second, the black smoke from the mechanical diesel does not leave indifferent to almost anyone and makes that the rear paint black completely after each race.
