Patience is paramount with the throttle, as otherwise we will be inducing the all-feared understeer. There are two ways of doing this: either late apex, getting the turning done using trail braking and a tighter radius in the beginning of the corner or early apexing, sacrificing a tiny bit of mid-corner speed to achieve rotation (again while using trail braking). By using either technique, we straighten out the exit, which allows us to get on the power earlier (smoothly!). Our goal is to get the car rotated so we can get on the power while exiting the corner, and get on our going-forward-pedal right before the apex or at the apex, depending on the rotation.

For this one, we will focus on how to drive the car). Many different set-up approaches are used for this: stiff springs in the rear, heavy sway bar, high air pressure, toe out, etc. Most race cars with FWD are set up loose to help rotation. We use it to keep the front-end down (load on the front tires) and lighten up the rear. And as with all TCI® transmissions, each unit has been Triple Tested, including valve body, static hydraulic pressure, and final dyno testing to ensure you receive the best possible transmission for your circle track needs.Driving a FWD car: So we need to adjust our driving style to minimize the potential issue of understeer that a FWD car comes with. Both the TH350 and C4 can be built with a 2.75 low gear.Īll transmissions feature high performance clutches, bands, a steel clutch hub (where applicable), and the Powerglides feature a modified planetary gear set that will work with the latest rear suspensions.

TH350 transmissions provide full engine braking, and the transmission/converter combinations give you 100% fluid coupling while the C4 model has a standard shift pattern and provides engine braking in all gears. You operate the transmission by simply placing it into gear and easing down on the accelerator.

TCI® Direct Drive Powerglide Circlematic™ Transmissions eliminate the need for all external control of the line pressure when using a straight pump drive. TCI® offers a variety of automatic Powerglide, TH350 and C4 transmissions for oval track competition. In addition, the TCI® Automatic is consistent for every race, so the clutch does not have to be adjusted before each event. They also have excellent throttle response in the corners and on restarts. TCI® Circlematic™ Transmissions have been track tested and have been proven to be more responsive off the turns than standard shift transmissions, plus the engine picks up much more quickly. Racers who have made the switch from their standard 4-speed setup have experienced improved performance. Third, and the most important advantage, is the performance level experienced when using a TCI® Circlematic™ Transmission.

TCI® Circlematic™ Transmissions run anywhere from $500 to $600 less for a basic automatic setup. This weight savings reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and valve train.

lighter in weight than manual 4-speed transmissions, depending upon application. The first advantage includes a significant weight savings - TCI® automatic transmissions are, on average, 50 to 60 lbs. In the past, manual transmissions were the popular choice for circle track racing but TCI® has found that there are several advantages to running a TCI® Circlematic™ Transmission instead.
