Superlap Timeattack Is Ago!

[djr81]

Want to win, buy new tyres. Want to have fun, show up and have fun...

Want to win = spend some coin, same as always.

My point was (is) that there are plenty of people out there who would want to run in the road car class on R compounds. I would suggest more people fall in that category than those wanting to run on road tyres in the street car class. Allowing R comps would both boost entries & improve the spectacle. But that is just my opinion. We never seem to have any issues in getting road registered car entries on R comps where I am from.

Rear engined 6cyl cars are disallowed if you read the rules so goodbye porsche

I did. Its just that the rules killed off Porsches in the same way the internet has killed sarcasm. I was being sarcastic. Not that it matters.

yeah mate I am probably with you on that point. most guys I know running at the circuit use R comps even on mild road cars. and I reckon a set of decent R comps will probably cost me less and last longer on track that a really good set of road tyres (think of the price of some top level michelien or pirelli's).

but I guess it's one easy way to distinguish the classes.

on the upside my GTR on a set of crummy road tyres wont need decent brakes as tyre grip will be so minimal.

mmm superlap.

I ran some sad roadies on a track in my GT-R once. Bashed the living hell out of the tread blocks.

Buffed tyres, anyone?

[Beer Baron]

yeah they tend the feather and die. or if they are band new they just peel tread off in stips. d'oh!

[EVO Cam]

Fantastic to see this concept up & running! We have registered in open class also

[NickR33]

concerning the tire listings for Club class> just a heads up there is a listing for the Falken RT 215 but no RT 615 which has replaced the 215...

that being said, they aren't really a R rated tire... neither are the Federal 595RS

when is Superlap coming down to Mexico!

[Superlap Australia]

The good news is after talking to some people in the know with tyres ( thanks Andrew aka Snowman ) we have finalised the Tyre rules.

Clubsprint Class

"All vehicles entering the Superlap Clubsprint Class must run on Tyres with a UTQG rating higher than 100. Each entrant will have to advise us on their entry form which tyre they are going to use. If the tyres fitted to your vehicle have a UTQG rating under or equal to 100 you will be moved into the Open Class"

Open Class

"All vehicles entering the Superlap Open Class must run on R compund Semi Slick Tyres. The only semi slick tyres not to be used in Open Class are: Hoosier R6, Hoosier A6, Kumho Ecsta V710 & Avon Tech R-A"

cool that means the Azenis and Federals are back in Clubsprint class... which means you can run street tires that have a nice stiff sidewall and won't be destroyed after one track day:)

[Beer Baron]

Haha - yep so if you don't like the tyre rules feel free to vent at me But I'm pretty sure everyone will be happy with them now and there should be no real complaints. Same rules as we run in our comps and it works perfectly.

The Starlet can stay at home but we now can pull those bloody restrictors out and have a real go

MMmmmm, Superlap Timeattack. Makes me proud to be Aussie.

[Sydneykid]

EOI's emailed, so we're in, R33GTST with RB25DET in Road Class for Matt and R32GTST with RB31DET in Open Class for me.

Should be fun .

Hey Nathan are you going to post up a new approved tyre list?

All i could find on the cams website was stuff about 60% ASPECT RATIO INFORMATION

Groups Nb, Nc, Sa, Sb, Sc, 65% ASPECT RATIO INFORMATION GROUP Na?

are we the 60% ratio?

[Roy]

Why the rule banning Porsches from ClubSprint class ? Is the event going to be predominantly Japanese vehicles or are other Australian/Eurp marques encouraged to enter. I see some BMWs are in the mix

As for tyre rule, i can see a lot of ppl needing to upgrade to 18s to really get the lower profiles happening, as the tread can be buffed down. Big thing will be sidewall and from what i hjave seen on my 17s, you will probably get more out of some lower profile 18s?!!?!?!

But good to see something formal coming to club sprints. Be interesting if you get all the main cars from the main clubs from different states. Will see which clubs/marques have the quickest cars

[Risking]

The requirements mentioned on the site are the final ones I asume??

Planed to enter mine in the open class but after reading the regs if I fit a few things back in I can go street.

The Tyres are pretty open now. There are alot for you to choose from. On most websites you should be able to find the UTQG rating on each tyre. If you are unsure shoot me a pm as I have a list and should be able to let you know if it qualifies.

The rules are not 100% yet as we are still waiting to hear back from cams. But when it comes to vehicle modifications they are pretty much set in concrete.

hey dazza

you coming to gatton next week end?? will be good to catch mate

Hi Russ Yea mate I am coming up to gatton won't have my car there will be in getting the exhaust system made up finally. Matty has entered his car so I will just be coming along to make sure everything goes smoothly with it an spectating will be good to catch up for a drink with you. Just sent off my eoi for super lap so I will have to pull my finger out and get my car finnished off. Will probably see you at the track next week Mark said you guys were coming along so I will catch up with you there mate.

damn i built my car specifically for these kinds of events but i got a 30/25. I think this has actually worked against me. My car is 100% a daily driven street legal car but the engine puts me into the open class which is full of hardcore track vehicles. The fact i need to use my car as a daily driver and its completely financed by one 22 year old means i'll be completely out of place competing in the same category.
