Hmm How long before someone turns up in a GT1 Corvette or a Mosler/Ford GT etc and hoses the field, Couldn't dis-allow entry because they would be closer to the stock road car than any of the Pro cars entered this year......

...oh wait Porshe's aren't allowed but Carbon Bodied EVO's with 750hp and Coilovers are........

Maybe I'll win Lotto and turn up in a MacLaren F1 LM Long Tail...get Bridstone to build me a custom tyre with a "treadware rating" of 550 and have a single groove on the outside as my "tread" and win "club" class with a 1:20 flat or something silly

Ok I'm dreaming, but that is pretty much where "time attack" everywhere in the world will end up in 5 years if it keeps going the way that it is

I just don't see why the main rule in open/pro class is no Porsches. I'm not a real Porsche fan (although I do love the itsfun car), the cars are no where near their road going form, so I can't see why they are so scared of some beetles from Germany.

Probably because a GT3 RSR on semis would be quicker than 90% of the field outta the box

are there any semi's out there for a 13" rim?

edit: I just looked at the rules again, and the rule resticting rear engine 6 sylinder cars is gone. I have made a lyer of myself

My car is now ready. Limited power level because of a restrictive intercooler but at least it's racing! Very promising after a test day at sandown on the weekend. The day was mostly wet but already slightly faster than my previous times on old tyres and struggling to get heat into the tyres in a dryer but cold session.

Only really going to get one more days testing at PI and then its time for superlap :)

Here's some pics.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
