- GoKoBra buggy 2012
The GoKoBra buggy is specifically designed for rally raid, with this fast and light buggy you compete in the 2-wheel drive car category T 1.3.
With the experience of 49.000 racing kilometers and a finish of both participating buggies in the Dakar 2012 race also the reliability and maintenance schedule of the buggies is known.
You cannot just get the results by writing a cheque and buying a seat next to an experienced navigator but you have to navigate and drive yourself!
Specifications of the GoKoBra buggy:
- single seater, drive and navigate yourself!
- ready to race for rally raid. Bring your license, helmet and clothing and off you go.
- 760 kg basic weight (including 1 spare wheel).
- FIA homologated.
- standard Suzuki Hayabusa engine; 4 cylinders; 1.340 cc; 198 horse power; 6 sequential gears
- dedicated drive train including torque limiter.
- modified race clutch and additional oil capacity.
- 2 spare wheels with on board spare light weight super B lithium battery and fuel pump.
- 180 liters FIA approved petrol tank.
- state of the art professional Reiger suspension including many low-high speed options.
- empty, the buggy is 760 kg. With one spare wheel but for the rest empty. 750kg is the mimimum weight for a 2 wheel drive rally raid car under 1.400cc without turbo compressor. It has 198 hp (standard Hayabusa) so it is fast. Race weight during the Dakar is close to 1.050 kg. 2nd spare wheel (23 kg), tools and spare parts (40kg), navigation stuff 10 kg and a maximum of 180 liters petrol (130kg) and the driver with his helmet, wear, 6 liters of water and so on. During the Dakar 2012 race we started each special with 140 liters of petrol or less. Sometimes we took only 60 liters of petrol to start the special.
- the buggy is geared with a top speed of just under 170 kilometers per hour. During the Dakar speeds above 140-150 on the track which you don't know at all don't occur a lot, most of the time the speed is even much lower. More important then top speed is the ability to drive through the dunes and soft sand. Jurgen will participate in the Dakar 2013 race to show the speed of the buggy. We will modify his buggy for Dakar 2013 with a top speed of only 150 kmh as that is sufficient and brings even more power and torque at slow speed in the dunes. It is up to the driver to chose the gearing of the buggy.
