Superlap Timeattack Is Ago!

[N1GTR]

Um.......

All Clubsprint Series vehicles must retain their originally designated engine. For example, a Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T came from the factory with an RB25DET, and therefore must have an RB25DET, otherwise it will be designated into the Superlap Open Class.

........this raises one obvious question:

Is this to eliminate people with 180sx's who have put rb26's in there (and alike, 20B's in RX7's etc), or all hybrids (for example, an rb25 head, rb30 bottom end, in an r33 gtst). If the later, why?

Also whats the entry fee?

Im keen as mustard for this one, but not if i dont qualify for street class

[NYTSKY]

Are you allowed to enter the street class if your car has a screamer pipe??

[Duncan]

Steve....like any racing they need to decide on some rules....and with any rules some cars are advantaged and some are disadvantaged.

Engine swaps are still OK overall, you just change the class you are competing in.

[Snowman]

Good luck with it all. Hopefully it takes off and I can make the 2nd one.

[JAS-25T]

Awesome line up of cars - will definately have to watch this!

[evil_weevil]

This sounds so cool I was thinking of entering the club sprint class?

Who is entering in what?

Are screamer pipes allowed?

How much and how many events are proposed?

[Superlap Australia]

Hi Guys,

For starters thanks for your EOI form Chris I did recieve it and have now added you to the entry list for Clubsprint Class.

N1GTR - I called a meeting to dicuss your issue this morning and thought about changing it but after even more discussion we have decided to keep the original rule.

As for entry fees:

Open Class - $450 includes Timing Device and a Garage

Clubsprint Class - $250 includes Timing Device - Depending on how many Open Class entries we get Clubsprint Class entrants may be offered a garage at an extra cost if we have some left over.

NYTSKY - No you will not be able to enter Clubsprint Class with a screamer pipe. This clashes with the Street Legal side of the Class. There are some limits on this Class which is what seperates it from the Open Class. The cars in Clubsprint Class have to have a working Cat Converter and if you have a screamer pipe then there is not much point to having a cat.

Cheers

Looks great, pity i cant drive my car and i'd end up in the open class anyway which looks to be a little too quick!

[Superlap Australia]

How much and how many events are proposed?

The first event is limited to 90 entrants.

I'm in one way or another!

Would a GTR with all it's front drive line components removed be eligible to run in the RWD clubsprint class?

[evil_weevil]

Cheers for the update Nathan!

Let me know when I need to pay

cool guys the more the better!

dunc get those bloody restrictors out.

just to make it clear, i have nothing to do with the running of the event , just helped them with some ideas and things!

i am there to race!! and drink !!!

there are two r35 gtr's already entered in street car class!!! one which i will be driving !

yeah chris bring ya car over!!

apparently they will have displays and girls and some corporate stuff!!

I see the word girls, I'll be there in some form or another

I'm curious as to why the open class cost a lot more than clubsprint class?

Might have to sacrifice a few track day later in the year for this.

[phunky_monkey]

Hey Nathan, in the open class, does it have to be a fire retardant race suit, or just neck to ankle clothing?

Very keen on this

Cheers

There are a few reasons. For starters the garage is an extra $60 per vehicle, but the big difference is the prize money.

Open Class Outright Winner - $1000

Open Class Outright 2nd Place - $700

Open Class Outright 3rd Place - $450

Clubsprint Class Outright Winner - $550

Clubsprint Class Outright 2nd Place - $350

Clubsprint Class Outright 3rd Place - $250

*These amounts are not finalised however this is the starting point that we are looking at*

Each of these will recieve a trophy. The winners of each category ( ie: fastest 4WD etc ) will also recieve a Trophy and possibly a prize pack of some sort. This is yet to be finalised.

Then also the Shootout at the end of the day the Open Class gets more prize money than Clubsprint Class but those amounts are not finalised.

Cheers

personally I reckon the old way was better. cars with engine conversion etc should be in open class.

apart from anything else watching someone with their supermega RB30 build pushing say 400rwkw doing laps on their nangkangs (as semi-slicks are not allowed) is going to be scary. I think the whole idea of the clubsprint class is for the less seriously modified cars. engine conversion throws that out the window.

doesn't worry me too much, but in most other types of racing engine conversion puts you into open. as it should be.

[lingeringsoul]

Ah, prize money, gotcha.

I agree Richard and after further discussion it will have to go back to the original. I have now changed it back to the original.
