In regards to the tire temps, what type of equipment do they use to record such data as car is being driven?and where would the sensors be installed to measure the heat and wear in the tires and g-force on car?
real time data would be infra-red temp sensors. G force is simple accellerometers. There's heaps of affordable GPS timing systems with accellerometers available these days - every second guy at sprints/track days has them.

anyone knows which 4wd system he was running as it could help this thread?
saw it a few years ago at the Aus Hillclimb CHampionships up here. He said it was using a Hilux transfer case, so its a locked 50:50 front:rear drive. Surprised me because transmission bind/wind-up should be an issue...
Transfer
