It has taken a while but what started almost 7 years ago with an open mind
and a bright white sheet resulted into an enthusiastic dynamic team with an
eye-catching E30 M3 group A that even will please any “non car” enthusiastic.
It has been quiet for a very long time on the R-Box site, this was on the one hand a very conscious choice and on the other hand we have been working very diligently on the car, service truck and other infrastructure, so that there was very little time left to add stories here.
Because we have now reached an important milestone, it might be nice to post something new again. GOOD news this time!!
It has been a while … nevertheless we did not spend the last few months in a sunny holiday resort but we continued to work like crazy on a project other than the BMW.
Due to some extremely painful consecutive circumstances all fun was gone and it was time to put the BMW aside for a while…

Unfortunately there will be no R-Box BMW in the second half of the 2016 rally season.
Despite everything was looking very good until last week, we are forced to take a very painful decision.
It’s pretty easy to capture that we were looking forward to our first event with the M3 after almost 6 years of hard work.
Despite the enormous disappointment, we have to move on and as a famous soccer player quoted a long time ago “every drawback will have his advantage”.
In the mean time we are back in full force solving the issue and we banned those dark clouds forever to a desert island far from here.
For sure it will take a few months, but of course we have learned a lot so we will improve several things so that our car will become even more unique!
What went wrong …
The last few months it was extremely calm on our site. The main reason was a lack of time.
Fortunately it’s a different story for the car. The Beemer did progress a lot.

Happy reading !!
After years of thinking, creating , testing,… I can’t wait to change my keyboard for the steering wheel.
At least my new office looks quiet nice an I am pretty confident we will have a lot of fun here.
“Let the beast go !!”

The more we made progress with the interior, it became clear that putting our helmets in the back will become a huge challenge.
The side protection on the Cobra seats together with the roll-cage blocks almost the complete access to the back.
Nevertheless, there is a way to do it, but it’s not easy and we have to practice a lot !

We had made an appointment for a private scrutineering on Wednesday 27th of April.
Some pictures that we have put on the passport.
Again a step closer.

First euphoria followed by disaster. This describes the best our debug section for PWR-Boxes.
After spending many hours writing software, the testing phase was extremely easy. Almost every feature was operational from first time. Too good to be true actually.

Sometimes being quick is not always beneficial.
Everyone knows we like new technologies. That’s also the reason we choose LED instead of the traditional Halogen or Xenon.
