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????

haha, join open class you pu55y jack! we both know you are fast enough to mix it with those guys. :P

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.

Why don't you make it a bit clearer: 'No Porsche car'

I can't think of any Major Car Manufacture that make rear engine 6 cyliner :/

yeah thats an strange one.

that part is actually open to interpretation, if its just no rear engine 6 cyclinder, what about the old Bettles they are rear engine flat 4. Ferrari F430, thats still pretty much rear engine, but its a v8 or the lambos, v10, v12 all rear engine but not 6 cyclinders.

Wrong, Ferrari's and Lambo's have mid-mounted engines..:)

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... :D

I think I've changed my mind again... :ermm::/

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.

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.

oh i know, but lets not argue about that, it at the back of the car no matter how you look at it. I'm just saying as an exmaple. It seems porche is singled out, dunno why though.

haha yeah i know it's expensive, I'm only dreaming.

Hey Guys,

Sorry but my computer is kinda stuffing up abit!

Can someone plz let me exactly whats going on with this?

Whats the actually date of this event?

And can anyone enter a street car??

If so how much is it and so forth

Once again sorry and any help will be appreciated

Help me!!! is there a class that my car will qualify for?

Its from a major manufacturer (its a March), its mid mount, engine is stock.

Can I come? purty please? Oh bugger! I'm pretty sure my tyres are R compound :down:

lol don't think there is much "semi" in those semi slicks.

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.

    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
    • Are you telling me I'm going to need a code reader etc to just change the battery when it dies...  Why did I let you talk me into allowing Kate to buy this car lol
