With the Aussie rules they can probably get them within 30kg of the weight limit too!

Not sure how they weigh in as kents (is wayne Poole the only converter in the uk?)

But it's hard to get them to the FF1800 weight limit but it is possible. Surely it's the same for RF01s or do they run weight in FF1800?

The convertion weight must be roughly the same

Benn Simms converted an SJ02. Sure I heard mention of '448' by the weighbridge after qualifying on Sunday. Mind you these are the Mallory scales we're talking about...

I have converted 7 cars so far RF00 TO RF04 they weigh between 417 to 423 kg no fuel.

Wayne tells me his Mygale is 445kg!!

If you the job right(VD CONVERSION) should be no problem.

Ed Moores RF01 419kg

How many pre 92 cars are spot on?

Maybe the 2000 type cars are faster because they weigh less!!

I thought they weighed heavy if it had been raining but they swore my 430kg Zetec weighed 360kg back in March!

Redracer77 doesn't run lead ballast.
He just leaves his wallet in the car.

Not bad for you Diz!!

We have to use extra fuel to be sure on weight. Diz (if he raced) would not have that problem, he would just use Nat's cakes see Oulton preview -

So with both the SOM and CC being won by Zetec/Kents,
JR Ewing-Miller driving one and even Mr.Daly
(see www.club1600.co.uk)talking of selling the Reynard in favour of a newer machine, does this spell the demise of the original spec Kent/Kent engine car to race for class wins only?

I have to say I still don't think the newer cars are quicker. Maybe at some parts of some tracks, but not at others.
I am driving the RF01 only for the reason that I had enough trailering/prepping my car(s).
I decided to drive for a team where I could learn.
I can't think of a better way to do that than drive the same car as the new regional champion, as well as share his data and get tuition. The fact that we get on well together and they are just 'up the road' from me only made it an easier decision.
I must also say that last Sunday was the first time I had driven the RF01 anywhere other than at Castle Combe (which I had never been to before) and I suffered greatly with a misfire. I got one rolling lap, hairpin to hairpin without a misfire all day and the PI got me at 0.5s quicker than I had ever been before, in an FF1600, which would have been good enough for fifth on the grid if I hadn't been held up elsewhere on that one (finish-line to finish-line) lap
