For anyone interested there will be a 1 hour Sports car race held as part of the AMRS round at Winton on August 25th and 26th. The Intermarque Challenge will be running over the Saturday and Sunday having practice, qualifying and 2 five lap races (one for each driver if two drivers are listed for 1 hour race). On the Sunday the race will be the feature event for the round with the 1 hour "endurance" style race including driver swap if 2 drivers are entered.

The round will get national TV coverage (SBS speed Week) as well as international coverage on pay TV in South East Asia and New Zealand.

All sports cars are welcome (generally 2 door coupes) Skyline GTST, GTR, 200SX, RX7, Supra, NSX and 3000GT's ect. Currently every round of the series has been won buy a Porsche with Maserati, Ferrari and Dodge close behind them. The series administrators are interested in seeing some Japanese cars out competing with the European and American cars. Unlike a few of the other sports cars series turbo cars are not only able to race but are welcomed as the series organizers drive Turbo Porsche's.

payment will not be processed until 14 days prior to the meeting if you request it. Any problem that arises-- as long as we are kept informed -- a 100% refund is guaranteed up to 4 days prior to the meeting

So if anyone has any questions or is interested in coming out to try and stop Porsche from getting a clean sweep of the series PM me or contact John Good via the email address provided above. If not come out and enjoy watching some great cars fight it out on track.

There will also be a sprint round held at Calder in September if anyone is interested please let me know.

I'd Love to race in this series... reminds me of the old GTP/procar days with all types of cars battling it out. I went to watch AMRS Intermarque round 2 at Calder in March and there is some serious cars in this category and i don't consider my car to be at that level.. I don't think I could justify the $550 per round entry costs without a couple of major sponsors.. maybe one day. I know a few damn quick GTR's that would give the leading porsche a run for their money :thumbsup:

the series has different classes in them to make sure you are racing with similar paced cars (forgot to mention that in the first post).

I understand that it can get quite expensive if you are funding your self. Many of the current teams / drivers are self funded so they don't attend every round of the series.

doesnt anyone reply to these things??? u have half the info champ... u should add ALL of it next time

Sorry not getting back to you , at the time i didn't have the entry fees. I know they can vary for us due to the higher track time ect.

If anyone is interested please let me know ASAP as entries are closing in the next few days

This round is really shaping up to be a the best one this year, so if you aren't competing and want to see some great racing head out to Winton :( (I'm just PISSED i won't be making it over there for the round)

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
