And FUN it should and will be. This is what events with cars and good like minded people are about
There are some pretty good tyres available for clubsprint. And you are right Jack, about these workshops with 'BLING'
It is just some of them do not have proper cars set up for open class.
-
Sweet, at least we have sorted the so called 'PRO' driver thing out.
Normally for motorsport you need to have a high standard to enter events if there is a driving standard involved.
I have never been paid so I am entering in both classes
At any level of sport you have different levels of skill and this event should be about putting on a show to the public and showing them the full potential of these motor vehicles.
A number of workshops that I know of do not have vehicles eligable for open class and were wanting to run in the clubsprint class. They have drivers for there cars so that they can show off there products to the public and be as competitive as they possibly can. Why should we limit the driving standards!!!!! I am trying not to swear.
Anyhow, what chance do I have......both of the cars that I am driving only have 4 cylinders and one diff!!
-
Whoever is deciding these rules Nathan better hurry up and make up there minds
Sounds like you should run 3 classes as was mentioned before.
I will just run the Lotus in both classes then as it is eligable for both
-
My Fate!!?!!?!?!?!
Who cares who drives what. This event is all about seeing how fast the cars will go.
What qualifies a driver anyway LOL
Who said I am getting paid. I could be doing it for the love of the sport and the event.

Hey Dunc
Prob is not CAMS, it is the Sports Sedan Association. I remember when I was running my Under 2 litre Sports Sedan in the mid 90's at Amaroo against 6 litre chevs. We tried to get our own Under 2 litre series just like Victoria and Queensland and NSW did not want to do it.
I still stick to my predictions with times. Giant is a mega car but still over 2 seconds slower than a V8 at wakey (2km Track) on a short track. At Queensland Raceway ( at track just on 3kms) Giant is nearly 6 seconds per lap slower than a V8. Oran is 2.6kms in length.
A 1.12 or 1.13 will win the day.
-
LOL
Btw I forgot to chase up that front bar for you. Will chase it up tomorrow.
-
I have been told that Jeff who owns this car, is open to offers.

Hey Mr Penlington
Well considering your car can do a 1.04 at Wakey, it will have no problems doing a 14 or even a 13 at the GP as I think it would be much better suited to Oran compared to Wakey.
No mjor change to Loftys GTR from wakey to the GP. Did the 15 at the GP on a good track and the 1.06 at wakey on a not so good track. The car should do a 1.05 at wakey. Remember these times are done with 27mm restrictors sitting in front of each turbo!! Should be good to see this thing go once the restrictors are removed and allowed to rev past 6,000rpm. The first round of IPRA is in a few weeks at wakey and the boys at BSM have been busy tweaking the car to make it go a little better this year.
I won't rule out driving your car as the little lotus is still a question mark.
Nathan
I have been asked to drive a car in the Clubsprint class. As I am already driving a car in Open Class, will it be possible to drive both in the 2 different classes. Yes, they are 2 different cars. I was hoping that the two classes would be run seperately.
-
Hey Duncan
If you are building your car to Sports Sedans, is it going to be AWD????
The Sports Sedan Association are currently trying to change the rules so that they can BAN AWD vehicles.
Can anybody tell me if this event is a one lap screamer or as I thought, we are going to have 10 minute or so sessions out on the circuit. If it is a one lap screamer that is CR*P.
-
V8 in qualifying do 8's!!!!! As if we could go that fast.
I agree low teen's or 12's. I have done low teen's in the little Lotus.
I know somebody that said that he has done a 12 in his GTR........I am not sure of it though as that is mega fast on radials.
There are so many days at Oran. There is the 1st round of the NSW State Supersprint Championship on this weekend.
To do a 15 sec lap around the GP you need to be doing a 46sec lap around the south.
-
I'm entered!!
Should be fun in the little Lotus.
Maybe I can put it in the boot of Loftys BSM GTR.
My BSM GTR is still FOR SALE and can be delivered to its new owner in time for this event
-
Indeed many people have varied opinions of Ronkey......not that I have ever had a run in with him.
But I do know a couple of clubs are no longer wanting to run at Wakey and I believe all of the Wakey staff have walked because of him.
LAKESIDE !! I hope it will be ready as we have booked a day later this year to do some driver training.
-
Hi Troy
For some reason I can't reply to your PM.
I am pretty sure we have a mould and maybe have some spares.
Will find out tomorrow (tuesday).
Cheers
-
Oh yes
Venue No.1 The circuit is actually complete. From what I hear it is around the 2k's in length and has skid pan facilities.
Venue No.2 Luffys venue will have a track of around 1.9k's with skid pan.
Venue No.3 Pretty much the same as Luffys ie 1.9k track and skid pan.
-
The gossip will not be made public for some time.
Venue No.1 The new circuit between sydney and wakey is just about finished actually
Duncan is correct that it will not be a full race circuit for some time but I can tell you now we will be driving on it very soon.
Forget about a replacement for Oran as it is not going to happen. Tony who owns the place is really sick again (cancer) and his kids could not give a stuff about motorsport.
Venue No.2 My boss has 108 acres at Badgerys Creek and it is DA approved for a Driver Training centre. We are just sorting out the funds so we can start building on it very soon.
Venue No.3 Oh yes there is another venue which is going ahead.lol about 5 minute drive from my house. I have been involved a little with this one. It is on 100 acres and will be another Driver Training venue.
-
Yeh just trying to finalise dollars at the moment. Hopefully will know soon as it is a category that supports the V8 Taxicars
May still end up driving something in IPRA later on in the year.
-
LOL Well it has Brembos on the rear and AP's on the front. Gee Duncan next you will be wanting to know what spring rates we are running as well. The brakes are big, 350mm from memory as the cars sit on 18x8 inch wheels.
The rule changed last year so that we can now run a 9 inch wheel. Loftys car will have 18x9 inch wheels for the first round this year.
Hi Chris
Not sure when the next day is planned but keep an eye out on the AUTOsports site
-
Yes somebody should buy it!!
No wait, if you buy it I will no longer be able to drive it
BTW yes it has Brembos and weighs just over 1350.
The times listed for this car 1.07.40 at wakey and 1.45.0 at the creek were all done on older tyres. The number one car of Dave Loftus ( my team mate) always got the new tyres, and once he was finished using the green spot on them they would then get put on my car. I am telling you this so that you know there is certainly more time left in my car if you want to put new tyres on it.
It is impossible to get 300kw through 27mm restrictors!!
-
Sweet,
I'll chat to ya on saturday about it when you are giving me some pointers
haha
Cheers!
Chris
See you next week
-
Impressive resume Boz......do you need an assistant at all?
and what GTR team?
Cheers!
Chris
Hi Chris
haha Did I also forget to say that I love driving my Datsun 1600 Rally Car as well. Go the Datto!
Cannot say much about the GTR yet as it is a bit of a surprise. Should be ready in about 6 weeks though!
-
Nice shot of the car John.
Hahaha you are going to let bozza drive it!
Thats the last time I let boz drive my car at the last skidpans and he broke the clutch.
I could not help but comment on this one.
Of course JP would let me drive his car as I have been doing this for 24 years (racing cars) and have been a professional driver trainer with Luffy for the past 10 years. We (JP and I) have known each other for many years and he respects my profession as I do his.
Corinne, are you serious about that comment?? I certainly hope not. If you think that I 'broke' your clutch you are JOKING JOKING, JOKING!!!!
Please you are a really nice girl, but stick to things that you know about LOL
Being one of the very few test drivers for MOTOR Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph, Factory Driver for Mazda in Japan, Driving a V8 Supercar, Driving a Turbo Lotus Exige for Southern Motor Works and just having done a deal to drive a GTR SKYLINE for a team in a Championship, I think they have trust in me and I think that you should as well.
