mahelgel, do you know if yours is a reed-valve or a rotary-valve engine?

I think it was a rotary valve, but i do'nt have it any more, so i can't verify that...  I also drove a Rotax Max after the ICA (only for a couple of months, as it got stolen and that ended my driving career, atleast for the time beeing), and the rotax felt much more civilized... More even power curve, more power on lower revs and topped out earlier. Me being a bit heavy (fat to be honest) meant the power low down, and more even power curve gave, me about the same lap time as the ICA around the loacal track

Having driven quite a bit (no racing, just training) with both ICA and ICAjr, it would be great to have those in the sim...

Although, i'm pretty sure the one i drove had a bit more rpm, and that the power curve perhaps hold on a bit longer on the rpm before it dropped compared to the two showed here. It was stated that it had 32hp, and that it rev'ed to over 19.000rpm, but i only drove, so i wouldn't know :p I had a local mechanic doing the engine/carburettor work, as i mostly changed tiers, put in the gass and drove :p

Only rear brakes, power that comes on like a turbo almost and direct driven (the ICA, not the ICAjr)... boy was it fun. Here at the local track, the gearing was made to make the top speed about 120km/h, and the lap took 38sec on a good lap (averge speed of 79km/h). Those where the days...
