The first international Killarney meeting of the new year, during the weekend of February 5 and 6, is going to be another of those annual blasts from the past that remains the first choice of the guys from the “good ole days,” who remain rooted in the golden age of sports car racing.

So I decided to do an introduction blog on Meth/Water injection.
Methanol/Water Injection remains a popular upgrade within the high performance cars these days. It’s rather hard these days to believe that injecting water into an engine in can increase power figures, …
