That's alright Paul, you can be 'head engineer' in my pit crew!!! :P

On a serious note it would be interesting to see how twoogle would go with the right brakes/tyres/suspension...

And now that Bozman has been excluded from the clubman class its in the bag!!!! :laugh:

got plenty of "sus" under her...its the tyre and brake budget that i lack...anyone got anything laying around that i could "borrow"?

Head engineer...his main job is to keep the beer and seafood cold isn't it?

I can not believe what I am reading!!! What difference should it make if a driver has more experience?

Why is it different if Bozzy has been in the game for more than the average punter who might want to enter this event in any class?

Seriously... are they going to stop my kid for playing under 6's soccer because he is better than the other kids? I don鈥檛 think so and if they did, there is not a court in the country that wouldn鈥檛 call that blatant discrimination!

It makes no sense whatsoever.

Motorsport is not just about the cars and to motorsport purists; it鈥檚 really about how well they are driven. You can not say to someone "you can鈥檛 play you're to good"

Never before in my life have I seen limitations on driver鈥檚 ability; this will be talked about for a long time I can tell you now. I have been following this and looking at the webpage and it seems that the rules are being changed to suit a few people. That鈥檚 just going to totally loose the credibility this event deserves in my opinion.

If people are worried about competing against someone with experience, they shouldn鈥檛 be driving there car on a racetrack! On the other hand if you are serious about your ability as a driver on a racetrack, having a measuring stick to aim for by looking at those with more experience would be a great way to look at it.

Rant over... I feel better now.

There isn't really a category for Joe Schmo (read: Merli), who has a dedicated fun car (stripped interior and roll cage and good suspension, but otherwise mild modifications) :D

I can't really compete with Mark Berry or the BMS boys :action-smiley-069::D

Looks like I'll be photographing the day. I looked around, but I couldn't find any Media Accreditation. How do I get my hands on a media pass?

In all seriousness, if i supply Tein RAs and some 355mm F40 Brembos and Brembo rears...do i get to share the steer? Im happy to donate about 5ks worth of parts if gets me a steer :action-smiley-069:

might be able to work something out Troy...our car is no dedicated "drag car" and id like to prove a point. How do we "share" the drive?

time to dig the rear trims and back seat out of mothballs...hehe

I tend to agree. Personally anyone should be welcome to drive their own cars. My only concern is when ppl in the Clubsprint series start handing their keys over to a hired gun and you have a single driver filling 4 of the top 10 positions in different cars. But any person should be able to enter, just not cross enter.

I hope the Clubsprint guy's get out there and practice especially if the have not done GP before . It is a great track that requires a fair bit of commitment.

What sort of times are the Clubsprint Car's going to do on street tyres ?

If low teens is the benchmark for open class then I'm assuming maybe 1:20 flat???

Dunno, anyone with experience of this track have any idea??

Penno, Bozman???

I know a few guys who have done mid 20's in street tyres in SAU NSW

get some better tyres like the 595rs' and the rt615's and you could see some dipping lower

I think my best is between 1:25 and 1:30 on street tyres

Roy good point about handing over your keys, ok for open class as I dont have a key just a button to start and button to go for the straights. I say bring on the sallary cap. With the road class big power might be a problem even for gtr's as slippery slippery, wheel spin. Bigger tyre the better for road class.

i hope there arent too many rules or i wont know what class i fit in not even sure what tyres the r35 has on it, as far as rating goes?!! :)

lol, your tyres are ok. they are the dunlops. :) SP Sport 600 or some such.

I want to know why there is a SuperLap TimeAttack prior to Superlap Timeattack 1... Does Steve-o suffer from premature postulation?

lol oops

Ive spoken to nathan about this, as long as the first event goes well he's going to try and have that class (weekend fun car, talentless drivers: me included) in the next one

    • Welcome back mate ,I also joined in the early 2000's , since then I have been in and out a few times depending if I had a skyline in the garage.  I have the another one now , so signed up and back with the SAU team.
    • I used "different strokes for different folks" quite pointedly as honestly, there is no wrong when it comes to choosing what you like.  I always day dreamed about flappy paddles with fast shifts in a sporty RWD Turbo and to me the sound and feel of it cutting through gears in a steady stream is exciting, engaging, and keeps the car better balanced - I *also* like h-patterns, but I find them more engaging and fun in a nice hoonable peaky NA thing.  Type-R Integra/old school NA rotary, things that are raw and need all the rpm where picking the gear and getting it sky high is part of the engagement of the whole thing despite the fact that they probably need closer ratios and faster shifts even more than a 3l turbo thing haha  
    • If I wasn't allowed or really had the desire to visit China it would probably fit in my carry on, but I have no desire, Japan would be nice during Cherry Blossom time though I might need to chat to Jackie about that, that should actually be an easy conversation though as she is currently talking about another cruise, cruise ship to Japan, a week in Japan to see the sights, then cruise home I may even be able to find those OEM NC Recaro seats over there that I cannot find here 馃
    • What do you mean?  In between the two I shared?  They're the same boost   This will be insane.   A mate has a GTSt with a 9:1 RB30/25 with Tomei 256 cams and a Borg S362SX-E that is already a beast from the basement but has a stock 5 speed and will probably get a ZF8 one day.  After the G35 900 RB26 setup I'd be lying if the topic of "Wtf would a divided G35 be like on this thing?" idea hadn't come up - you'd definitely want a wide boost control range setup with it, as even with the less responsive and potent S361 we're having to ramp boost in from very low levels in the early gears.
    • ZF8 is faster, wider ratio spread, better in every way. I do not dispute this. But I have brain damage and I want the feeling of shifting gears. To me the extra work is fun, but I daily an automatic and in the US like 90+% of cars are automatic so a manual transmission is an "exotic" experience. If I want an automatic I've driven an F80 M3 with DCT more than a few times and it's incredibly capable but it's emotionally vacant to me.
