It was used on a Pike Peak Ford RS200.
The suspension was design and made by our in house technical partner Black Art Design (BAD), who also engineered and produce our GT1 coilovers.
This Ford RS200 driven by Mark Rennison finished 4th place in the Unlimited Class at Pike Peak 2013.
The fastest privateer team, finishing behind 3 factory works team.
With the final time of 9:46.634, it is also one of 8 cars in the world to reach the top in under 10 minutes (Call the 9 Minutes Club) in 2013.
The 5th damper was used in the middle.
From my understanding, it basically works like an infinitely adjustable anti-roll bar.
I haven't got the full details of the suspension system as I only briefly over look the car's suspension, but it is certainly something that BAD can produce if necessary.
And I know the system works looking at the result the car posted.
