World Endurance Championship Refuelling Rig Updates

 

Following a change in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) regulations, ATL have designed and produced an update kit for Pit Lane Refuelling Rigs.

 

The update kits include a bolt-on Vent Hose Flange, Vent Hose Drain Can conversion (ATL and Staubli valve type) and a Top Plate Assembly and Hoses.

 

Also available to meet the new WEC refuelling regulations is a new clean-sheet design Refuelling Bowser, which can be ordered in 100L or 170L capacities.

 

For further information, please contact a member of the ATL Technical Sales Team on +44 (0)1908 351700.

 

ATL in Action!

 

 

When The Flying Bulls discovered that the fuel tanks in their B25 World War II bomber had deteriorated beyond repair, and following a recommendation from their sister company Red Bull Racing Formula One team, ATL were parachuted in to design and create bespoke replacements. Although an unexpected addition to the maintenance schedule, the fuel tanks were delivered and fitted in time to avoid any disruption to the build schedule and ATL look forward to seeing the B25 bomber take to the skies once more.

 

 

 

 

 As a special treat for the 72nd Goodwood Road Racing Club Members Meeting at Goodwood Race Circuit on 29-30 March, McLaren F1 supplied three of their finest Turbo-era Grand Prix cars to entertain the crowds. Included in the three was the McLaren MP4/2 last driven by Niki Lauda on the way to the 1984 F1 Drivers World Championship crown. The car had not run since Portugal of the championship-winning year and needed a substantial amount of preparation work, including replacement of an ageing fuel cell. Having created the original fuel cell many years ago, as well as being continual supplier to the McLaren F1 team since, ATL acted fast to create a fuel cell which would enable the car to run without issue at the event and beyond.
