good evening lads .

in my comeback trip i have seen recent 2 different drivers with a vortex rok engine on but as i look closer to their pit work , they both have their balance shafts removed from their engines gearing room .

i can understand why they did this as the engine will rev up more freearly but is it worth it ? and if i try that how much do i risk with engine reliability ?

Im just a sunday warrior this year so no problem with any rules as i am doing practice sessions .

anyone have try this ?

This is a very interesting concept. Never heard of doing this, but would be love to know more about it if it’s a real thing. (seems like a crazy idea on the face of it though)
