Guys can you help me out? We are having an argument at home, and someone here thinks that V8 supercars have no LSD. Is this correct? I dont think it is, because when Rusty was doing Doughnuts, he was smoking two tyres, when they take off at the start, they smoke two tyres, when they leave the pits, again two tyres, and when they spin out, yep, two tyres again. Jeez I hope Im right on this otherwise, jeez Im an idiot.

Sorry mate. No LSD. They have a spooled/locked diff. They haven't run LSD's since the EB. Back then they had the option of spool or LSD. Then with the AU they moved to spooled diff's as a rule.

Detroit lockers are 70's technology and bloody annoying (and trecherous) in a curcuit car.

That would explain them putting the car up on roller trolleys while moving them around the pits, It is damn had to push a turning car with a locker.

Bingo. No locker(s), no LSD's, no detroits. Just a simple Full Spool Hemisphere.

I am pretty sure it is a locked spool running a 3.15 ratio. Well it was for Bathurst so they can go faster down the straits.

Diff ratios vary on different tracks, but all cars are told which ratio to use

Gee, after reading all these replies, which one do I believe? Spool, locker or LSD? I think I'll vote for spool, as that is what they use!

3.15 is for bathurst only, as the cars were on the limiter for too long on conrod, and all other tracks they run 3.25 ratio.
All V8 supercars and I mean ALL run an ALLOY 35 spline full spool centre. Its a forged alloy piece from Harrop. |
