In Lviv on 6.06.2021, the first stage of the Ukrainian Drift Championship took place, where for the first time the race car of a Ukrainian drifter Dmytro Ilyuk ran on motor oil Yuko Racing Synt 10W-60. We remind you that this product was manufactured at the factory LLC JV Yukoil« specifically for sports cars operating in ultra-heavy conditions.
This start is hard to overestimate, as it became a kind of test not only for the athlete's team, but for the plant as a whole. After all, drift competitions are a crazy test for a car's engine, and any changes in its design, or the replacement of materials it will run on, can lead to unpredictable results. However, all fears were in vain. The car's engine on oil Yuko did a great job with the task. Here is Dmytro Illiuk's direct speech:
«According to the data retrieved from the car’s computer, the oil pressure and temperature readings were normal throughout all sessions of this competition. I am very pleased with how the oil performed under extreme conditions during drifting. Thank you to the factory team for a quality product that is a pleasure to showcase at international events.
- Dmytro, how was the competition organized, and what was the quality of the track?
– The track is technical and suited the car very well. However, we worked a lot on the car before the start; there were issues regarding the engine tuning and grip settings. We probably didn't have enough time to properly get used to the car and master the track. Now we are changing the settings and will compete in Riga with the same car. We are aiming for a good result. We have drawn our conclusions and will allocate more time to mastering the track before the competition.
- Why did he lose?
I lost to myself because I was too aggressive. The sharpness of the weight transfer overwhelmed the suspension setup in that corner, resulting in a loss of speed. We entered this season in a state of frantic time trouble. Now we are preparing for the upcoming competitions, of which there are quite a few this year: Riga, Austria, Norway, and several stages of the Ukrainian Championship in the capitalThe most interesting part is yet to come. I will fight to the last drop of oil! Root for me».
