2011 360MRC 6 Hour - 30th APRIL!

[Peter Mallett]

Zils were. They just couldn't afford them.

A Tatra? Rear engined V8? Nice.

Probably not competitive and lacks the South American link (afaik) but would certainly be 'interesting'

Perhaps a Zil - but were they ever on sale to the public, Russian or otherwise?

DON'T put ideas into his head.......or Roger Wills, who is 'on site' in Russia, and probably has contacts and could get a KremlinTune example!

Apart from the windows Al.

Just like Pre93s and Toyos, it looks like A Cosworth or M3 will dominate.

That had occurred to me but would he be allowed to strip out all the armour plating?

Can they be built to last for 6 Hours (with a sensible budget) and still be dominant? (I have no idea - hence the question.)

This should get your juices flowing...

Dont think I can last but could be a shakedown test for the rebuilt Escort, will let Tim post pictures of rebuild position.

I wouldn't call six hours a shakedown test, plus it wont be ready.

Yea of little faith.

[Tim Falce]

I can't find it in the regs, how many drivers can enter per team?

Thank you! Just watched it twice (I was at the Brands Hatch round) and that was beautiful......when the BTCC and the driving standards were really worth watching.
If we ended up with a race like that, I'd think that I'd died and gone to heaven.

Tim - you're hopeless!
Reg 3.1.5. Minimum 2, maximum 4.

as a more highly qualified Clerk than I is fond of saying (when we're writing regulations) "I don't know why we bother - nobody ever reads them anyway"

I find that regulations like traffic laws are for other people.

Having met you, I could almost have written that reply for you!

I've caught it from you, have you read the regs for this race?

[Eric Falce]

Has it got regs.

[terence]

This is purely a case of "Like Uncle like Nephew". Its the old storey,reg's are for beginner's,seasoned racers know them off by heart anyway!

Sort of like knowing how the two way radio works in the safety car.

Question,
Does a 1989 2 liter MR2, the Mk2 version from 750 MC fit into the 360mc rules? Its got 2 seats but a tin top.

[Tim Falce]

Probably under 7.2.3 if nothing else.

Where can we get a copy of FIA appendix K or J or whatever to see what's homologated?

No it doesnt, must have two plus two seating to be classed as a GT and is not a saloon so its a sportscar which is not allowed.

[midgetman]

Good news people!

And even better news for me - the 924 started yesterday. Now I've only got to find the 4th cylinder and turn it into a race car before the end of April....looks like I'll not be availing myself of the £250 early-bird discount LOL! Speaking of which, is the 15% available to drivers in the 2010 race or just the entrants?

Look forward to seeing you next April. Hope the spring weather's kind (or perhaps not, three of my prospective team members are skid pan instructors).

Sadly Tel as is the case in Pre-93's, Toyo Saloons and just about any racing that includes cars from this period you are probably right the only reason I built my IROC-Z race car years ago and probably why no one has done one before or since is because it ran in a championship (ModProds) that outlawed the two models, its hopelessly out classed in Pre-93's by these more or less race built homologation specials.
