2014 World Time Attack Discussion

[GTR32G]

Ok to who is running in World Time Attack this year...

Who is well behind on their rebuild and will get no testing done...

What behind the scene stories are going on... will we ever see Nemo again?

[GTR32G]

Will this be the year a rwd will take the top spot?

[gtr jet]

Can't wait to see that thing with the new aero.

[Dale FZ1]

Who thinks it might be a different 2wd to that one?

[GTR32G]

Have heard that the MCA S13 getting a big make over and with Van Gisbergen behind the wheel should be one to watch

[Mick_o]

I believe Nemo is gone well at least for this year.. Big discussion on the douche bag that helped take it to the wall so to speak

[DCIEVE]

Are there any pics or details on the MCA car? I saw mention of a billet block on FB.

[Dale FZ1]

That's not the half of it. Should be a big step forward from a chassis standpoint.

Doubt we will be seeing Nemo ANY time soon. If at all.

It will definitely be exciting this year, that's for sure. I'm not convinced that RWD will take the cake though. Its going to be an EPIC battle between MCA S13 and Scorch Racing S15 that's for sure!!

Tilton has been nice and quiet, like usual, just working away. They are making small changes to try and chase 1:23 ~ 1:22's, and given a clear track, They should be able to do it!

I would like to enter next year, but it looks like I would be in open class and I'd probably get murdered.

What's the barrier for entry like?

[Duncan]

not sure what you mean about barrier to entry, but I'd guess you need to spend up to 200k to be competitive in Open and towards million(s) for Pro.

we've got some guys on here who are playing in the big league but I've never seen ballpark budgets from someone who's done it

[JimmyRickard]

I mean literally enter. I have no illusions about being competitive, it just sounds like a fun event to be involved in.

What times are you doing around SMSP Dunc?

[Duncan]

nfi on entry, I've never considered it From where I sit it looks likely to be poor value $$$ per track minute...

I'm high 40s at Eastern Creek, but a more recent comparison was 1.06 at wakie...which left me 15th at the Nulon nats and approximately nowhere against serious time attack cars at 1.00 flat and quicker. It is definitely not the right sort of event for my budget, but it's great to watch other people spend money and come up with amazing cars and times.

i really love the die for a deadline/re mortgage the house storys/f**k i busted 3 holingers in one weekend from WTA

its even better when there is a days of our lives story along the way( nemo style)

ultimately once we have a public drug bust WTA will have finally hit the drag racing life

shit i am just impressed that people spend 2.5k for a set of rubber

[JimmyRickard]

Lol i forgot about tyres, that's a spicy meatball!

[GTR32G]

shit i am just impressed that people spend 2.5k for a set of rubber

That's what sponsors are for

[Duncan]

well it was...but with a control tyre there is little commercial reason for any tyre company to help out is there.

[GTR32G]

Tyre company dose not have to pay or discount the cost for the tyres, find a sponsor that will buy you a set of tyres and put their stickers on the car. Due to the exposure that world time attack gets sponsors are more then happy to get on board to advertise. Some are not I do get a lot of no's, but you can only ask. Most of the guys are more than happy to help out where they can even if its small like $200 items they give you. I have got my entry paid for, tyres are paid for, Workshop dose tuning for free, Whiteline have supplied products for the car for free. Got a place to supply a HANS device to advertise on the car. Also have good discounts on other parts on the car.
