TECHNICAL DETAILS MCT - MENARD COMPETITION TECHNOLOGIES Menard Competition Technologies Limited (MCT), one of the world’s leading motorsport and advanced automotive organisations, is the company providing Superleague Formula’s driving force. Blessed with a clean sheet of paper, MCT’s team of world-championship-winning designers came up with the concept of a lightweight V12 that would sound as good as it performed.
A compact 4.2 litre V12, weighing in at just 140 kilos and less than 700mm in length has been designed for Superleague Formula, producing 750 horsepower at the flywheel. “We’re delighted to be working alongside Superleague Formula on this exciting project,” said Charlie Bamber, managing director of MCT. “The V12 design, as well as being at the forefront of contemporary engine design philosophy, is one that will excite crowds across the world by bringing the music and noise of the track to mix with the football inspired fervour of the grandstands.” MCT is based at Leafield Technical Centre, deep in the heart of Oxfordshire’s motorsport valley and boasts inexcess of thirty years experience at the pinnacle of world motorsport. Its personnel bring championship success from across the F1, world sports car, touring car, IRL and CARTspectrums and take pride in numerous world championship and other international series victories. Those that witnessed Jaguar’s legendary Group C sports car successes of the late eighties and early nineties, including the marque’s most famous hours at Le Mans, or perhaps Volvo’s BTCC campaign, Nissan’s IRL assault or its NASCAR triumphs of recent years, have glimpsed the wealth of knowledge that MCT brings to the Superleague Formula programme. “© Superleague Formula.
