Event Coverage: MPTCC 2013 Round 1 – Auto Club Speedway 1

,

MPTCC Round 1
With a couple of hours between Qualifying and Racing, it wouldn't hurt to show what some of the teams and MotoIQ did during that long span of time. Here we see John Naderi showing off the latest MotoIQ decal. Yes, we covered up a [CENSORED] shirt with a MotoIQ decal. We're that cheap sometimes.

However, it's that lack of personal attire is what allows us to to bring you new ways to enjoy the MPTCC presented by Motul! Coming soon are produced videos and we'll be starting with Round 1 coverage of the MPTCC. Seriously, you guys are going to be blown away at the video production we've done for this round. That, or find a new way to poke fun at Nads for not having a MotoIQ Team Shirt. He shouldn't feel bad, though. I don't have one either.
 
MPTCC Round 1
Many teams took to making adjustments, repairs, or other requirements a race car has between sessions. Sometimes it's as simple as a tire pressure check or change. Other times, it's a full suspension change. Depends on what you see in the chassis and tires after each session.

For some teams, well, Dynamic Autosports, they had to be on camera a lot. Scion Racing brought out a full video crew to capture Michele and the Dynamic Team defend their 2012 championship. Yes, the bearded fella was wearing a shirt with a “Hangover” picture on it. I was thinking it, too.
 
Motul
Speaking of sponsors stepping up, Motul took it's sponsorship of the MPTCC to the next level by providing garages for all the MPTCC competitors for the whole weekend! They would also have some surprises up their sleeves for our competitors (more on that later). Huge thanks to Motul for their support of our race series!
 
Wilwood
Wilwood Brakes teamed up with Edo Motorsports this year again to help him further develop his DA's brakes. Going from his old 4-piston set up to a new 6-piston setup is sure to help Edo brake later and with much more control. 
 
MPTCC Round 1
Edo was one hundred percent impressed. He thought that he had enough braking power before, but his switch to the bigger Wilwood Calipers, Pads, and Rotors have improved the braking several times over. Edo reported that he could wait longer to brake and that braking distances had decreased. This is also with larger wheels and tires from last year!
