Their turbocharged 1.4 L engine from the Capri was later enlarged and used in the World Endurance Championship from 1982 onwards in the Ford C100. The Zakspeed-prepared machine was run by the works Ford Germany team with Klaus Ludwig, Manfred Winkelhock and Marc Surer at the wheel, but the car was a midfielder at best, although Jonathan Palmer and Desire Wilson score a 4th place overall the 1000 Km of Brands Hatch in 1982.

The DTM returned in the year 2000. The series adopted the format of the 1995 championship, with most rounds held in Germany with occasional rounds throughout Europe, but having learnt the lessons of the ITC disaster the ITR constantly strived to keep costs in the series from exploding to unreasonable levels, and to keep the championship firmly tied to its German roots.

Until the 1980s, the metal valve springs limited rpm to about 12000. Since the 1990s, they were replaced by pressured air, allowing for revs over 20000. Otherwise, the RPM-level of an engine is determined by 3 things: displacement, stroke, and available air. The displacement is how much air each cylinder can draw in one complete engine cycle, an ...
