JAGR33 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Very interested in this, should be a great success.. Filling out form now but undecided in which class to enter... I totally agree with djr81, street cars with Rcomp tyres would've been ideal, but I guess the rules are the rules!!!! Now who will come second in open class????

Beer Baron Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 haha, join open class you pu55y jack! we both know you are fast enough to mix it with those guys. and dave, if you are not driving the starlet let me have a crack in it! I am a terrible driver but an excellent talker. Tell us what times do you do in the starlet around OP GP? put some fear into these GTR drivers.

Sydneykid Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Why the rule banning Porsches from ClubSprint class ? Is that what that rule is for I thought it was to keep the Corvairs out Cheers Gary Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210939-superlap-timeattack-is-ago/page/6/#findComment-3733277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrari F430, thats still pretty much rear engine, but its a v8 or the lambos, v10, v12 all rear engine but not 6 cyclinders.

BB - My car fits all the requirements of the Clubman class, except the tyres, hence why I'd get you to source some RE01R's for me and actually have a chance at the pointy end.... But after some thinking I've decided to go open, never been on the track in my car with street tyres... However it will be interesting since I probably won't have any time to do a practice day to get familiar with the track... I think I've changed my mind again...

Beer Baron Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 if you want to try and do a practice day before hand you can share my loaner mate. for sure on some good street rubber like maybe AD07s or the RE01Rs you would be up the pointy end of street class, but you may find on the semis you are still up the pointy end in open class too.

Beer Baron Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I also wouldn't mind seeing this evolve into proper grid start racing. can't say I agree with that. if you want to go from this time attack style formula to door handle to door handle then you need to realise the changes. cars would need to be log booked and have approved, welded in cages drivers would need NC licences instead of L2S (cost goes from $100 a year to hundreds, and many more onerous requirements) you would need proper nomex suits (min $600 worth of safety gear) that is just the tip of it. there are plenty of classes available if you want to do 'proper' circuit racing. this is a fun, cheap alternative. door handle to door handle means you need a budget of a least a few thousand per meet and a dedicated circuit car.

Does that mean I have to get the pocket knife out and draw pretty patterns on the tyres? Edit: I was being blind, I thought it said R's or Semi's - when its R Semi's.
