TAMING THE BEAST: Tuning the Team Orange Laurel
April 14, 2011 1:32 amKumakubo was out again today on Higashi Course at Ebisu Circuit. He was doing some more testing to the engine settings of the nitrous-assisted RB26 in the new Team Orange Laurel.
Just because the sound of it is fantastic, here’s a video that I shot today!

Top motor, looking and sounding awesome. My 10 year old and I were watching on the webcams this morning. I told him who Nobishige Kumakubo is, all about Ebisu, the new car and shakedown runs.
Apparentley there wasn’t enough smoke…. Kids, eh ?
holy cow, looked like he could jump off the top of that hill XD sounds awwwwwesome!
Nice sound i’m think, and this blow off – fantastic
What is the liquid that appears to be pouring out of the right rear fender as the car goes around the left hand turn?
Maybe his car is so full of awesome it’s spilling over from the sides?
More slide needed
Cant wait for updates
is that rear diffuser a re-amemiya?
How awesome must it be to build a car and have your own track to test it on!
Sounds like the turbo’s surging?? Awesome car
eargasm
can’t say I’m a huge fan of the blow off sound but with an engine note like that who cares!
Don’t know for sure but the whistle sound is the waste gate, but I love the sound.
Damn this thing sounds so horn.. makes me want to take my new twins straight off my 26 and throw a single on!
The ‘blow off’ sound is not a valve, it’s just the result of having no bov & the air coming back through the compressor blades.
