As some of you may know the NSW CAMS Supersprint Championship introduced Time Attack classes.

If you interested in competing or want to practice for the Superlap it could be perfect place.

The classes are same as Superlap: Club Sprint and Open.

If you want more info you can find it on

Have fun

Great atmosphere and people to run with, pity they did not have this class a few years back.

Personally I would wait for the stamp on type 6 from CAMs, if you want to get a record or trophy - hope it goes ahead.

Problem they will have with type 6 is unreg vehicles in NSW obtaining logbooks.

For cams to add a "time attack" category to there needs to be a time attack association that apply for it to be added.

The majority of time attack vehicles are not rego'ed and alot of the aero does not fall into the general requirements in the manual of Motorsport.

The manuals general requirements are written with collaborations from cams staff and liability solicitors/insurance carriers.

So there is no way that monstrous aero will be "log bookable" just because it's time attack

So considerable amounts of cars would need the aero cut down to fall within the general requirements which type 6 would need to adhere too.

Then you still need a "time attack" category to log book the cars under so that they can run in NSW. Rego vehicles no problem obviously.

I've had a couple of cars knocked back at inspection time due to aero that's outside the sports sedan regulations which is what we've been trying to register the cars as.

One GTR this week was rejected due to the rear wing being too high, wide and far back. Front and rear undertrays being too long and spliter too long.

It can't run at the NSW states without a log book. It can't be logbooked as anything currently. There can't be a time attack category to log book without a time attack assosiation to apply for a category.........

Not to mention that there aren't actually many time attack cars that could move out of the workshop they are sitting in under their own power :pirate:

Anyway......who from SAU is doing the sprint series this year? There has been a few people in previous years but it looks like it is falling off pretty badly now?

Are you and Duncan running Marek?

I've registered again for this year. I've competed for 3 years now and it's a great competition and I've made lots of friends.

I don't think I'll be able to commit to doing every round like I did last year, but I'm hoping to do at least half of them.

One thing I am worried about though is the track progress (or lack of) at Eastern Creek. With all this rain they have been delayed alot. Not sure if they will have the South Circuit finished in time for some of the scheduled events.

Heard a rumour the track work won't be finished until later this year like Aug-Sept.

so.. is there going to be a protest to the type 6 credentials? i mean, not by the obvious people posing the questions, but by the faceless paddock people for which the said people are apparent reps? wish i had a time machine, we could go back a few years and tell the time attack people they have a totally illegit. sport. sort of going quiet on that front for some reason.

CAMS operates on a completely different basis to AASA. CAMS is the old mate conservative establishment, AASA goes where the demand is. Must suck to be in a CAMS dominated mexican state if you are not part of the CAMS incrowd :P
