The Provisional Calander for the Dutton Series 2008 has been released starting this year in Vic.

No QLD round for 2008 (due to lack of facilities) but there is a round in New Zealand (TBC) .

Dates are as follows:

The 2008 provisional dates are:

Rd. 1 Victoria 16-18th May

Rd. 2 Western Australia 25-27th July

Rd. 3 North Island, NZ (TBC*) 19-21st Sept

Rd. 4 New South Wales 28-30th Nov

If the NZ round goes ahead I'm keen to get over there for it if I can find the funds. Sounds like an excelent adventure. :D

Will mostly likely be doing Vic and W.A. again regardless.

that up $400 on this year and $800 over the year befor so i dont think i will be doing it agen next year i have done the last 2 nsw rounds thay are good weekend a way and run very well.

a that price i will run all the state hillclimes and super sprint for the same price as i will cost me to do one weekend . this year our cost for the weekend was around $5000 thats a lot to lose if it all gos bad on the first day and theres all ways a large number that do

there was 4 to 6 evos on day 1 this year some got it going for day2

Now thats a road trip

How much would the transport cost?

Is it just me or does Dutton seem a bit pricey for the amount of driving you do.......

Yeah for that price, an entrant like myself where I'll be funding everything is going to make me bankrupt!

Looks like it'll be a few years now till I get to do the Dutton :D

Aza,

good idea, I think thats what I'll be aiming to do instead as well!

Two rounds is a Targa Tasmania entry gents, or a Suncoast Rally whatever. Real tarmac rallies, with heaps of competetive kays. Heck, I think Mt Buller is about 3G. 160 odd competetive klm.

One round is more than Targa Rookie entry..... win in your class and free entry to the full event the following year....... Snowy....... :nyaanyaa:

Yeah but my car has issues with Targa rules. Like it's way way way too illegal :nyaanyaa: And putting it to Targa Spec is a giant PITA since it pretty much means I need to change everything (oil cooler, turbo's, diffs, gearbox, exhaust, new set of rims, etc etc)

One day I will do Targa but it will be in a new car - not SMAUG.

But I figure until I have a Targa car I might as well have a crack at becoming the 1st World Tarmac Sprint Series (Duttons new name) World Champion hey. Will look good on the resume if nothing else if we can pull it off. :P

Unless you want to convince Dean to lend me his car next year Ben? :O

Haha, how 'bout we BOTH convince him and share driving/costs? :rolleyes:

Yeah, I see and agree with your other points, guess I just get rail-roaded into the whole dollar v kilometre debate.

And yeah, that'd look pretty cool on the mantle :P

Still think the whole event would be better if we all go to drive GT2 Porches, and at the end of the event we give the cars back :rolleyes: Otherwise i think they are starting to ask a bit too much money for the average punter paying all the entry out of their own pockets in their road cars....i dont think there are that many "serious" competitors and therefore not the sort of support for a more hardcore series that isnt aligned with any other regs from other tarmac events.

meh not their problem. as long as they keep filling the field they will keep charging more because they can.

new name sounds like a real wank to me, hope you were joking andrew....

Haha - if you READ THIS you will see they mention a forth coming name change. That is the new name.

There has been a bit of work going on to try and take this series to the next level. Some of the plans I have been told sound pretty exciting including the desire to run a "super special" stage on the Saturday night in the form of an event like we have seen in the past for Prolog stages at George Town for Targa Tas and Marysville for Mt Buller. If they can pull it off and have a couple of "feature" events at each round I am sure the series will only go forwards.

And Gav - at this stage it looks like we'll be bringing the Blue car over west next year too. :rolleyes:

gutted. the whole goal of my new N1 was to compete in Dutton. And now there isnt one in my backyard! QLD. :D

sucks hard. lol and those entry costs sure are going upwards!

I reckon we'll be back for the Vic round. It's a few weeks after Targa so we should be able to make it.

I dunno whether we'll be in the 34 again, or running Deano's R8. For some reason he seems a little concerned with me barrel rolling it down the back fence at Sandown.... Jeff Beable Porsche style.

Hours was spent on photoshop for this proposal for prospective future sponsors. Very similar to the effort by the Donut King R35 GTR effort you'd agree?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
