RELEASE

27 January 2010

New 2010 Modern Tarmac Championship to follow from successful Classic Championship

Following the successful running of the inaugural Australian Classic Tarmac Rally Championship in 2009, CAMS has established the Australian Modern Tarmac Rally Championship to cater for showroom and alternative energy vehicles.

With the increasing level of modern as well as classic cars participating at tarmac events, the next logical step was to introduce a modern championship.

Both championships will be conducted at the same events during 2010, commencing at Rally Tasmania on 27 – 28 February. The remaining rounds will be held at the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally in South Australia from 21 – 23 May, Targa West in Western Australia from 26 – 29 August and finally at Classic Adelaide in South Australia from 17 – 21 November.

Registration for vehicles fitting the specified criteria for the modern and classic championships will be automatic upon payment of the entry fee for each event. There will not be a separate championship registration fee.

Championship points will be awarded from first to twentieth outright towards the Australian Modern and Classic Tarmac Rally Champion Driver and Co-Driver.

In addition, each driver and co-driver will receive class points. For the modern championship this will include: Early Modern, Late Modern and Contemporary, Exotic Cars and Group M5. Class points will be awarded from first to tenth place. These class points will also be added to the outright position points to determine the Australian Modern Tarmac Rally Champions.

Sporting regulations for the modern and classic championships are close to being finalised and will soon be made available on the online CAMS Manual website.

Championship information can be found on the CAMS website or by emailing [email protected] or calling (03) 9593 7777.

I thought the Australian Classic Tarmac Rally Championship was an epic fail, and abandoned last year?

how many poeple are entered in rally tas this year?

Edited by sav man

My prediction is very few given the sorry state of the CAMS regs and the regs big difference to AASA. As you said on the phone the other day, we just about need two cars now, one for each governing bodied event.

It could be too little, too late.

so how are our sau-ers going?

Looks like Kel is still on the road in the mighty mx5 which is a good sign.

But what is going on with snowie....entry says RICHMOND/BRISBY, and the only Brisby I know is our favourite blood nut Troy??? Was there a last minute change of plans or something?

BTW on regs....no point blaming CAMS, it was AASA that came along and opened the door to significantly different regs allowing more mods. The CAMS rules have stayed pretty static and I think that's a good thing (not that I often agree with what CAMS do!)

Anyone down there or got more information than just the website?

Yeh thats an interesting one Benny.

Poor old Frank, was doing pretty well too

if jones doesn't get pinned, everyone is just going to drive through the middle of corners come Targa.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
