The Anglomoil SMDrift Racing Team will compete in round two of the 2013/14 Australian Drifting Grand Prix at Perth’s Barbagallo next weekend, where organizers have changed the track layout. Recently crowned SA Stadium Drift Champion Simon Michelmore is in the points in round 1 and his aim in Perth is to progress from the 32-team starting grid to the final eight qualifiers followed by a podium result glory. His 390 kilowatt (rear wheel) Nissan S14 coupe has a very unique feature – “This car has a radiator in the trunk that works well in the first lap but with the added weight of the rear tires I find they are too chewy. After I wore them down a bit, my driving improved. ” Anglomoil, a 100% Australian owned and operated lubricant manufacturer, has had a long-standing partnership with Simon having supplied products for his previous drift cars. “Drifting is a harsh environment for engine lubricants with extreme operating temperatures, high rpm and starting to stop and we found that the best product for reliability and performance of our high performance engine is the fully synthetic Anglomoil Roadmaster 500 API SN 10W/40. . There is no mud or water buildup in the engine and the block, crank, rods and pistons carried over from my previous car have never had to be rebuilt.” The S14 with its powerful RB26/30DET turbo engine is built by Garage7 in Adelaide, using Anglomoil products for all its sled and passenger van customers.
