Want to win, buy new tyres. Want to have fun, show up and have fun...

Want to win = spend some coin, same as always.

My point was (is) that there are plenty of people out there who would want to run in the road car class on R compounds. I would suggest more people fall in that category than those wanting to run on road tyres in the street car class. Allowing R comps would both boost entries & improve the spectacle. But that is just my opinion. We never seem to have any issues in getting road registered car entries on R comps where I am from.

Rear engined 6cyl cars are disallowed if you read the rules so goodbye porsche

I did. Its just that the rules killed off Porsches in the same way the internet has killed sarcasm. I was being sarcastic. Not that it matters. :banana:

yeah mate I am probably with you on that point. most guys I know running at the circuit use R comps even on mild road cars. and I reckon a set of decent R comps will probably cost me less and last longer on track that a really good set of road tyres (think of the price of some top level michelien or pirelli's).

but I guess it's one easy way to distinguish the classes.

on the upside my GTR on a set of crummy road tyres wont need decent brakes as tyre grip will be so minimal.

I ran some sad roadies on a track in my GT-R once. Bashed the living hell out of the tread blocks.

Buffed tyres, anyone?

concerning the tire listings for Club class> just a heads up there is a listing for the Falken RT 215 but no RT 615 which has replaced the 215...

that being said, they aren't really a R rated tire... neither are the Federal 595RS

when is Superlap coming down to Mexico!

The good news is after talking to some people in the know with tyres ( thanks Andrew aka Snowman ) we have finalised the Tyre rules.

Clubsprint Class

"All vehicles entering the Superlap Clubsprint Class must run on Tyres with a UTQG rating higher than 100. Each entrant will have to advise us on their entry form which tyre they are going to use. If the tyres fitted to your vehicle have a UTQG rating under or equal to 100 you will be moved into the Open Class"

Open Class

"All vehicles entering the Superlap Open Class must run on R compund Semi Slick Tyres. The only semi slick tyres not to be used in Open Class are: Hoosier R6, Hoosier A6, Kumho Ecsta V710 & Avon Tech R-A"

Haha - yep so if you don't like the tyre rules feel free to vent at me :teehee: But I'm pretty sure everyone will be happy with them now and there should be no real complaints. Same rules as we run in our comps and it works perfectly.

oh oh. I see lofty lurking in here. bad news for us all! bring the starlet dave... :)

The Starlet can stay at home but we now can pull those bloody restrictors out and have a real go

yeah baby!!!!!

just have to do a round at w/p as improved production first, (i dont own that o2L lap record yet) then the car will be changed over

dave loftus :teehee:

Hey Nathan are you going to post up a new approved tyre list?

All i could find on the cams website was stuff about 60% ASPECT RATIO INFORMATION

Groups Nb, Nc, Sa, Sb, Sc, 65% ASPECT RATIO INFORMATION GROUP Na?

are we the 60% ratio?

Why the rule banning Porsches from ClubSprint class ? Is the event going to be predominantly Japanese vehicles or are other Australian/Eurp marques encouraged to enter. I see some BMWs are in the mix

As for tyre rule, i can see a lot of ppl needing to upgrade to 18s to really get the lower profiles happening, as the tread can be buffed down. Big thing will be sidewall and from what i hjave seen on my 17s, you will probably get more out of some lower profile 18s?!!?!?!

But good to see something formal coming to club sprints. Be interesting if you get all the main cars from the main clubs from different states. Will see which clubs/marques have the quickest cars :teehee:

The Tyres are pretty open now. There are alot for you to choose from. On most websites you should be able to find the UTQG rating on each tyre. If you are unsure shoot me a pm as I have a list and should be able to let you know if it qualifies.

The requirements mentioned on the site are the final ones I asume??

Planed to enter mine in the open class but after reading the regs if I fit a few things back in I can go street.

The rules are not 100% yet as we are still waiting to hear back from cams. But when it comes to vehicle modifications they are pretty much set in concrete.

Cheers

hey dazza

you coming to gatton next week end?? will be good to catch mate

Hi Russ Yea mate I am coming up to gatton won't have my car there will be in getting the exhaust system made up finally. Matty has entered his car so I will just be coming along to make sure everything goes smoothly with it an spectating will be good to catch up for a drink with you. Just sent off my eoi for super lap so I will have to pull my finger out and get my car finnished off. Will probably see you at the track next week Mark said you guys were coming along so I will catch up with you there mate.

damn i built my car specifically for these kinds of events but i got a 30/25. I think this has actually worked against me. My car is 100% a daily driven street legal car but the engine puts me into the open class which is full of hardcore track vehicles. The fact i need to use my car as a daily driver and its completely financed by one 22 year old means i'll be completely out of place competing in the same category.

    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
