Boosted Zed Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I was out there on Sunday afternoon and it was perfect conditions, 19C sunny day no wind. Far out these things are fast and here is the official times? Natsoft I did not get to see these cars and one is Elise Bozman and how do they go so fast? There was a yellow Camano Sports sedan which was the toughest looking thing I have seen at the track and he only did a 1 34. Tube frame fibreglass front end, massive aero and super low roof height and massive slicks with big chev in middle of the car. Take off the slicks and giants car is much lighter and better suspension etc than when it was there last and ran 1 min 40 last year, and mine is much faster too. I last ran there nearly two years ago and did a 1 43.5. It will still be a big challenge though, as times under 1 min 40 for example even a second is heaps, and THANKS Bozzo.

Roy Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 OK the bar has just been raised for the 5th July!!!!!Just had a look at the entries and noticed Mackie and Lucas have entered in the exiges!!!!!!!!!! Peter Lucas just did a 1.34 around the creek on the weekend, while Tim Mackie did a 1.37!!!!!!! So Lucas is 5 seconds faster than Berry around the creek and 9 seconds faster than Penlington. Yes these times were done on slicks. These are proper race cars that have entered and are able to run in open. We are all up sh!t creek. Awesome! IS the specs of the 1:34 and 1:37 cars the same? Im guessing that the 1:34 is the ex-European GT3 Exige or similar etc?

Beer Baron Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 how did they do in the race? is it possible they f**ked the timing? it's happend before many a time. cause bill pye may be just a rich pig farmer but he doesn't mess about. and i would be surprised to see him in his cup car 4 and a half seconds off the pace. I have to say though peter lucas has really bought things on a long way in the last few years. when we ran robs car in prod sports the first 8 or so spots were always filled by 996 cup cars with the few lotus way down the back a fair way off the pace. though I'm guessing peter has upgraded machinery too as he wasn't in A class before in the lotus he was running.

nfi Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 All three Elise models on the Lotus website (Elise S, Elise R and Elise SC) are specced with 1.8L engines... I saw at lotus that sounds similar to this at wakefield late last year. It had an s2000 motor supercharged. Do they qualify for superlap given they have had a transplant?

Sydneykid Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I saw at lotus that sounds similar to this at wakefield late last year. It had an s2000 motor supercharged. I think you will find that they are a K20 front wheel drive engine and gearbox as found in Integra and Civic Type R's.

hrd-hr30 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) with turbos on them too I'm guessing??? how does that fit into prod sports? I always thought they had to run the original engine? Marque sports was the "anything goes" category for sports cars... guess it must have changed...

Boosted Zed Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 That would be it Thanks Gary.Especially given the standard engine orientation (east west). They have alloy Honda block and whole car weighs about as much as a big motorbike? No not really but silly light, as in 700kg or less I believe and supercharged not turbo. I might think different about supercharged engines now.

Roy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Rather then something that has been bolted together in a backyard i would suggest they are a race derivative of the Exige from one of the European GT3 series. Here are some specs of one i have saved in my favourites - Toyota 1.8 2ZZZ Charge-cooled and supercharged 320bhp - Dry sump - Hewland PCT 6 Speed Sequential Transmission (flat shift) - Limited Slip Differential - Switchable Traction Control - 2007 Wide-body - Quick Release Carbon Fibre Front and Rear Clams and Rear Wing - Air Jack System - Digital Dash - 6-point FIA Approved Roll Cage - Removeable Steering Wheel - FIA and HANS Approved Recaro Seat and Race Harness - Ohlins 4-Way TTX Dampers - Aluminium Uprights - AP Twin Master Cylinder System with Dial Bias Adjuster - 6-Pot AP Front Brake Callipers - Centre Nut Hubs - Lotus Sport 5 Spoke Alloy Wheels (10 Inch Rear Wheels) If i have guessed right then there shouldnt be any real surprise that the thing is as quick as it is Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/210939-superlap-timeattack-is-ago/page/47/#findComment-3901766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
