The Castrol Fit once again went on the Dyno at Trinbago Grassroots Autosports DynoDay #2 (2016). The last two times I dynoed the car, these were the results:

>>>>2025 DynoDay:
74.43whp / 62.95tq
>>>>2026 DynoDay #1:
76.82whp / 72.63tq

My new figures are:
77.55whp/70.05tq

While there is an increase in wheel horsepower, that can be contributed to many factors, mainly air temperature. What I can however conclude is that the engine is effectively running just as good since 2025. Basic maintenance with the right oil (Castrol Edge 10w-30) at the right intervals (every 10,000km) goes a long way.

What's also interesting is the power obtained from the different drive modes. Note that because the car has a CVT transmission, it's not able to hold 1 gear, so the graph is showing wheel horsepower vs speed (NOT RPM).
Sport Mode saw the most wheel horsepower as the speed increased. , but the least torque. Normal mode saw less wheel horsepower, but a big jump in torque. Low Mode however didn't do what I expected it to normally do (lower wheel horsepower, but the most torque). I suspect the transmission began to heat up after making the other runs back to back. This however shows why I am so serious with cooling the transmission between races as the power severely starts to drop off as the transmission temperature rises. So don't laugh when you see me spraying water thru the front grille. It's the transmission cooler in concerned with, not the imaginary intercooler 🤣.

The Castrol Fit attended Trinbago Grassroots Autosports beach drive. Was a great day taking the wife and kids along for a drive along the coast with fellow enthusiasts/friends.

Something you don't see very often. The Castrol Fit cornering relatively flat with a lot less body roll. The car is still skiddish in the rear thanks to the sway bar if you drive it irresponsible, but cornering is so much better and confidence inspiring now. Due to the heavy rainfall, I wasn't able to really push the car to it's limit. The car still was capable of winning it's class while having one tyre tied behind its trunk (the rain limits how much I can take advantage of the car's handling). As a bonus, Katrina Khan-Roberts loves how the new suspension feels on the car. She says "if feels very reactive when you turn the wheel." Happy wife, happy life. 😍😬

Thank you Frame Logic TT for the excellent pictures. I know it was a challenge getting these photos in such torrential rainy conditions.

Got stubborn grease slowing down your shop? CRC Heavy Duty Degreaser doesn't just clean it; it melts grime on contact.

The trigger nozzle gives you pinpoint accuracy to blast away oil and dirt from tight gears and machinery. It evaporates rapidly and leaves zero residue behind, so you can get right back to work without wiping down parts.

Stock up your workshop. Distributed locally by FT Farfan.

So I don't only use Castrol oil in my daily and race cars, but also my home equipment. I have this pressure washer for many many years (at least 15 years) and it's still going strong without a problem. Maintenance is key to keeping any piece of equipment running reliably.

Also... Here comes the Honda jokes... 😅

Just an extra race videos of the Castrol Fit racing in the rain. This is my 2nd lap (out of 6) at Trinbago Grassroots Autosports Event #2.

While this lap time of 100.289 seconds doesn't contribute towards the final results of Trinbago Grassroots Autosports 2nd Event (it was done after my class had finished racing), it's still interesting to see what time I could do in the dry and how much of a difference a 'wet' track can make. I had a lot more time to make up given the fact that I was deliberately holding back as I didn't want to make any mistakes and ruin my only chance to get a dry lap time. I'm sure given another lap or two, I could get the car in the low 99 seconds range. Still, over 3 seconds faster is a major improvement especially on an Autocross course.
