2014 Sau-Vic Motorsport Championship

Not sure, did you turn up to WRX PI?

Are you all going to turn up to Winton?

If so, hell yes there will be a class.

[miniwog]

More the merrier I say!

Maybe its a case of... if build it, they will come?

[Snowman]

Exactly.

I was told this last year as there was a "slicks class" thread so I came to a couple and I know Paul did too but still nothing happened.

So we went to Maserati and PIARC days instead.

But I'm asking again. I mean the Racepace R33 GT-R is now on slicks and they are a club motorsport sponsor but there is still no facility for cars with slicks to run in our motorsport championship.

SO if you look in the championship for last year there was an open class, but was only listed on the rounds themselves

However people only turned up a couple of times so was not worth doing a trophy/putting on the front page.

if we get 2-3 people at a few rounds I'm sure we can turn it into a proper class and arrange trophies

I'm sure no-one want a trophy for turning up to one event....and being sole person in the class

[R31Nismoid]

Just put the class up from day 1, make it conditional that 2 people need to have done two races.

It's the class is front page, everyone can see it... And there is no 'default' if people don't make it.

Problem solved?

[billywhiz]

Good idea and you'll have a season or so of data to review criteria for next year

[ssxRicho]

Martin will post more information shortly. However we think we've come up with an idea that should interest a whole bunch of you.

Surely it doesn't matter how many cars? Class D - Std 2WD was just Ben and myself with 4 other cars doing a single round. I'd have thought a fair proportion of the member base would have cars fitting into that category.

That said, one thing I like about doing the Maserati and other days is the variety of fast cars. Having some open class cars gives spectators something to come watch. f**k knows they're not coming to watch a prius

FHR requirement coming in at National then State events. Saw the CAMS email and deleted it but in trying to check the website further it locks. Could this impact state level sprints?

[blackrex]

International and National events from the 1st of July, for track, tarmac and off road events, and then from 1st January 2015 this also applies to all state level events, but not club level at this stage.

Look like I'm not going to be able to do my DT till later in the year, the rims I bought ended up being the wrong offset (would have been handy if the skyline owner I bought them from told me this!) and I have had to use spacers so no go on track for me But am working on my BMW with RB conversion with hope to have it up and running by the end of the year (even if it just putts along! ). But if there is anything along the lines of helping out for any of the track days please give me a yell.

[Leroy Peterson]

is this SAU round 3?

Not sure if admin error but only 40 entrants on the list. Also not sure because Porsche club and Super Kart club are invited.

[billywhiz]

Cheers for the heads up, spotted the karts/porsche tie in but didn't spot the impact to entry numbers, teens left!

[phantc_s15]

Good way to encourage people to enter early?

[emts]
