N1GTR Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 What happens if it rains?????Does it still go ahead??? If it rains i will kiss my transfer case. I really will. Depending on what we get back from cams cages may not be required in either Class. BUT I can not say that for sure just yet as cams are rather slow at gertting me answers. Nathan you've got my number - i have the cage all ready to go and as you know i dont want to use it. Please call/sms me the result from cams asap (cause the car is at the workshop right now, 3 hours away, its an effort and a half) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210939-superlap-timeattack-is-ago/page/23/#findComment-3770434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Yeh well the usual class split is between road reg drivers with R tyres and trailer queen racers with slicks, there are lots of other events including sprints where this difference is recognised, why not here? Who is going to buy a set of S tyres and wheels for this? Not trying to knock the concept, it just seems that some of the rules are out of sync with expenditure already incurred for other events and classes. Hard to see the reason why.

hrd-hr30 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 that's the way Tsukuba Supelap is run in Japan. its all about how fast you can go on R tyres. and if you don't want to run against the Open class cars you can go to Clubman class on normal road tyres. Most guys running the kind of cars targeted (late model JDM) at sprints and track days will already have 2 sets of rubber - street and semis, so its no big deal. If you really want to win Clubman, you'll probably need to buy (and buff) tyres, but some guys will already have suitable tyres too like the 595RS. And some won't care and just turn up on their normal street rubber, like me. The street tyres will be a big equaliser too - he with the most power won't neccisarily win. It will be more about overall handling balance. I think its a good concept. I'm in for the Clubman Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210939-superlap-timeattack-is-ago/page/23/#findComment-3770490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1GTR Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Concept isnt the issue, its just some clarification on some issues for the classes, and the lack of one class altogether - no doubt that will all be fixed by the time round 2 rolls around Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210939-superlap-timeattack-is-ago/page/23/#findComment-3770541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superlap Australia Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Steve, I am hoping that you will not need the cage so as soon as I know I will let you know. From what I have been told so far you wont need one but I need to clarify that. Either way the class you want to run in next time will not require one Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210939-superlap-timeattack-is-ago/page/23/#findComment-3770626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 well for what its worth, my opinion is that cage is a must for open class considering the pace these cars can run. jdm cars and skylines in particular really redefine the pace a pretty standard road car can run at. I think you guys are underestimating how quickly the top open class cars will go.

I think you guys are underestimating how quickly the top open class cars will go. You are correct Duncan but my understanding is that all the cars that will be in that top 60% of the Open Class meaning the really fast guys/cars will all be purpose built and have proper cages as it is anyway. No Super sprint entrant needs a cage yet majority of the time the top guys all have them. You may still need a cage but untill cams get back to us I cant say yes or no for sure.

Boosted Zed Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Roll cage yes if open class and fast car as not all will be pushed. If you did roll it, which is so rare, it would likely be bad. Hey check out this fuel a customer just showed me. New Fuel I assume it is allowed Nathan?? Also anyone know of options with forged 18 inch wheels 10 and 11.5 114.3pcd around 35 to 40 offset?

Supra?? yeah mate, just in the Supra. Should be a little quicker now thanks to some very minor tweaks - I spent alot of time tweaking ride heights and have a better balance now, and also converted from sequential turbo operation to simultaneous which gets rid of a big 'hole' in power delivery for track work.
