Hi all,

Starting preparation on what is currently known as the QLD Excel Rally Series. Need a new and exciting logo for what will be known from 2010 onwards as the 'Hyundai Max Attack Challenge'. Need a compact, exciting logo, feel free to use the Hyundai logo in it. If you need inspiration, it's a one make series, the cars are near stock, and driven to the limit often knock of WRXs and EVOs. If you need further inspiration here's a vid of us testing last year:

Any questions or submission fell free to give me a bell on 1300 884 836, or email greg at gslrallysport dot com!

Cheers,

Greg

From Another Forum:

Hey Greg.

Great idea :blush:

Are you after a graphic logo? (something with photos/images in it) or something simpler, more vector based that can be used for letterheads and stuff in black and white?

Hi mate,

Something more vector based I guess. Which can be the basis of letterheads like you say, merchandise etc. Also Hyundai who run a factory car (infact the only factory rally car in Australia at the moment!), support the series very well, so although the Excel, are cheap, relatively fast, and super reliable, we won't be in them forever, so if possible keep it Hyundai specific, no so much Excel. Also for the right artwork we're looking at offering more than the $50.

An example of the type of thing we're looking at:

Cheers,

Greg

how much does it cost to buy an excel rally car?

To buy, they generally sell for between $6-$10k depending on spec level. To build from scratch, including the car, you could do it and win the series with a $10k car. Ours cost us $15k ish, or a full spec car like Hyundai's factory car (currently the only factory rally car in Australia!) currently owes them about $20k:

The biggest expense is suspension, which will set you back about $4-5k. The rest is a stock excel parts (which are super reliable), and a roll cage/seats/harness/sump guard.

Details finalized! Submissions will end 19th July at midnight, with voting starting then, and closing end of July. For full details checkout:

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
