We were running 4 cars across the weekend at Rockingham and we got a few bent ones but none broke like the pictures, not sure how old most of those wheels were but i’d recommend buying new wheels to use for the race and at about £27 they aren’t a massive cost really,
if we can find a supplier of the B12 kits with eibach springs can we source them from elsewhere and that will be ok for compliance for the championship?
might drop you a message in the morning Paul, if you could do a bit of investigation for me just to see if the car is sat around up there, found an address where the photos were taken and also one where i believe the seller is registered to live within a couple of miles of each other. If the car is there i can sort the rest….
Most recent MOT station is just down the road too. so all linking up, Police are useless and not interested.
Its not only the cost its the perceived cost.
When one person has it everyone has too and although there are cheaper systems they really aren’t that great. To make it fair the best way is to not allow it.
The only radio system that i think for safety that could be investigated (not that i think its needed) is like they used to run in funcup with a link to everyone to the CoC so they could contact individual cars but also give warnings for oil, yellow flags, safety cars etc. was only a one way system from CoC to all cars but that covers off the safety angle.
I’ve only done Spa so far in our car but it was great fun, low cost racing and i’ve entered for Rockingham. Can we just try and keep it like that rather than the constant creep in additional equipment/car spec. the formula works as is proven by the interest in Rockingham and the number of cars being built!
Although i have radio systems for the other championships we race in and could use them with no additional financial outlay I don’t think they should be allowed. It is a performance advantage in the fact you can call in at the last minute or at any point rather than having to wait a lap after seeing a pitboard.
Also as a cost thing a system worth having that will cover a full circuit is going to be a minimum of £1500 and could be £5k plus to get coverage for a circuit like Spa.
The lower the costs can be kept the more attractive the series will be to the majority, I have built my car for my own use but also for my staff/mechanics from the other series we run cars to use as they aren’t able to afford to race elsewhere but with the low costs it keeps it fun and achievable for them to go racing and me to help support them by providing a car.
They had different exhaust too and looking at the lap time one of them did a bit more to the engine too
Try GT2i
french company but are very good for seats and harnesses, it’s where I got mine from and was quick delivery all fia approved etc.
I may have a set coming up soon but not sure when yet depends how much of a hurry you are in. Good condition in a 2007 55k mile car I’ve just bought
When wiring the spot lights what’s best in feed to use?
main or dip beam feed or a desperate wire and switch
I wonder how much weight me and one of our drivers can lose before Spa and I can make the other drivers put on ?
