Race clutch

[JACAM]

Hi wanted to know what clutch people run or recommend for track only car - standard 182 engine and box. Not sure how the standard clutch stands up to lots of high rpm.

On a standard engine a decent Valeo or Sachs clutch will be fine. If you want more bite a Helix paddle clutch will fit the bill, but they’re expensive and I think overkill for your needs.

Standard valeo gets my vote

Ran a standard Valeo for two years with no problems at all. Now running a helix as we have plans. But if I was leaving the engine near standard I would save some beer tokens and stick to standard

Thanks chaps. My buddy here in NZ had a clutch explode in a race recently, apparently it’s relatively common?? Thinking of changing mine as preventative maintenance.

Ran a standard clutch for two years of track days and one race, no problems what so ever. Put in a fancy clutch for the next race as the car was taken apart anyway and it exploded after a 30 minute qualifying session and about 25 minutes of racing. Figure that one out ??
