2008 RGB Championship winning car
Overview
Designed from the ground up and not restrained by relying on a donor vehicle, the BDN S2 is a bespoke road legal track car.
The BDN S2 development car has successfully competed in the 750mc RGB for the last 4 years, showing excellent reliability and unrivalled pace. In 2006 the BDN obtained 2nd place in the RGB championship, again repeating this in 2007 when the BDN narrowly missed winning the championship.
In the hands of Derek Jones the BDN S2 finally took top honours in 2008 winning the overall championship with a race spare and the class championship with 6 races still to go.
The next stage
The BDN S3 is the result of 7 years of development, combining the knowledge gained in the development of the first two generations of BDN.
The S3 is designed to offer a large cockpit for drivers of all sizes, while keeping the height of the car as low as possible resulting in a decreased frontal area relative to the S2. The chassis has front and rear aluminium bulkheads supporting subframes that help minimise damage to the main chassis in the case of an accident, which potentially enables substantial damage to be repaired quickly between races. An all new body for the S3 is designed to reduced drag and produce more downforce. The bodywork, which also forms a crushable structure, has two main configurations - one for slicks and wings style racing, where high front downforce is required and one for RGB style racing where aerofoils are not allowed.
In 2009 the new BDN S3 will compete in the RGB championship, while another S3 will compete in the Australian SuperSports championship.
