A few days ago, Robert “Mr. Syclone” had posted some videos and pictures of his testing and tuning to prep for his race season. All seemed to be going well and most certainly it looked like Robert was on his way to smashing some of his current standing records. The latest Mr. Syclone update isn't a good one.
Unfortunately, Robert has made an update with results none of us like to see. During a test and tune on the track, the motor let go and took the trans with it. What started out in the video as a very healthy and strong run turned into a disaster and you could hear the crunching noise of engine parts mid-track and watch as Robert scrambled to kill power. The damage was already done. The ending portion of the video shows mangled pistons, broken rods, a snapped crank, and a badly cracked trans bell housing.
While we know this is a setback for Mr. Syclone, we have no doubt that he will be back and ready to go in a short amount of time. We can’t wait to see what new things Robert might bring to the table on the next go around and wish him luck on his continued reign of fastest AWD V6 in the world!
