Abstract: Victory Racings 3.0 liter diesel powered streamliner driven by Burton Brown broke a long-standing record in its class at Bonneville Speed Week.

The streamliner mounted a unique 3D printed intake duct, nearly 28 inches long, with a complex interior design, manufactured via Laser Sintering technology using Carbon-composite material.

This intake duct allowed the streamliner to exceed 230 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats and successfully break its class record.

An examination of challenges related to the production, implementation and results of using 3D Printing and Carbon-composite material will be discussed. Additionally, the paper will discuss the current use of additive manufacturing for construction of components and parts for Motorsports Automotive sectors.
