Yep, C3 is the entry level license (= wearing "P" plates again:p ) C4 is basically for national series (supercars, nations cup etc) C5 is international, eg Baturst 24hrs/ Le Mans etc....

I've gotta tell you, it's much easier to get these in GT3 than the real world:D

Yep, Bathurst 24hr was requiring C5 = International class license. I think that is part of why they are having trouble finding enough local drivers. The C5 upgrade is on a similar basis to C4 upgrade - observed performance in national level competitions over a number of races.

Corect if I'm wrong...But I think you actually need some sort of approval/expirence level to race at Bathurst ?

Yep thats sounds about right Peak,,,The real Bathurst requires some experience in V8 supercars ,,,,I'll find out for sure on Monday when my Boss gets back from Mallala....His son's doing Formula Ford this weekend. Go the Bosch Spectrum.....

Both bathurst races just require a C5 license - but you don't have to have raced a supercar before - there's a couple of BTCC drivers coming over for the Bathurst 1000 race.

I think most of the teams just prefer someone who's driven them before coz they're pretty different compared to other touring car classes.

ROFL,,,,,Kim's a wild boy thats for sure. Did you know he punched Brad big time in the pits years ago......Wonder how long Bowe will last there????.

Yes and No,,I'm wrong as well,, Duncan,,,A C2 is cool but you need 5-6 sigs on your licence in 1 year before you can run at Bathurst in a Supercar....The C3's what you actually need,,,,Marks still using his C2 with Sigs because it's cheaper at the moment and he's doing enough races to keep it updated.....Mind you to get those signatures,,,it's going to cost YOU big Money and I mean BIG money. I think leasing a FF for the weekend is about $15000 to $20000 and thats with out losing a wheel....$5000 for each.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
