IRS vs De dion

Hello All,
I'd like to ask what is difference between
Dedion and proper IRS on track (bumpy track?)? Did anyone make any sort of real comparition? Head to head track test? (assuming all rest is the same)

Thank you
Ted

It would take a very experienced driver to make any significant differences to lap times with a well set up dedion car versus a well set up IRS.

I personally favour dedion (but I have a car with it, so I would......), but it suits my car and what I want from it. I personally think dedion is the best way to get A LOT of power to the road. With a good, well designed beam, traction is truly amazing. But IRS is very good on bumpy surfaces, especially around corners (it's surprising how bumpy some race tracks are at high speed....), not that there is a problem with dedion, but a tidy IRS probably has the edge. As for weight, live axle is your best bet. Good handling can be got from these as well.....





Dont just build it.....make it!
