Loads of you made a fuss about Andy G's Focus not being allowed to do Time Attack because of it being space framed etc, which is a shame as it couldve been a Ford Time Attack champ, but rules is rules i guess.

But its not only Time Attack! Check this quote from Liam Doran, ie the legendary Pat Dorans son...

He loves drifting and I said...

and he replied...

FUCK SAKE

Every time a Ford looks like it could do mint and look amazing doing it, its not legal as its just tooo mental

So he got an S13 instead

 

wounder

ps, whos this blondo you were stalking?

 

Edited that now, shouldve said blindo

That post is actually about someone on PF, im expecting more PMs when they see it as im pretty sure they will know who it is

 

pmsl

 

Thats totally bollocks!

Was a joke the other year too when Andy G and Chris D were told that they were no longer allowed to race the Focus and the Fiesta in the Ford Saloon Champ but we all know who had the last laughs there!

Would be awesome to see it in time attack!

 

Why is space framed cars banned then?

 

I may be wrong, but i think it has something to do with the cars having to remain (to a degree) as the manufacturer intended, it's suposed to be a cost cutting excersise, but in reallity some of the cars (especially in time attack) cost more than AndyG's did to do.

 

Its a shame but also kind of right IMO. I'm someone who personally hates anyone even using race fuel to get times or top speeds etc as a road car should be a road car but thats just my opinion. Maybe they should have a 'specials' group for cars like that. I thought the norris evo was space framed for some reason...

 

Sure it has something to with the fact the manufacturer has to have built so many production cars that are the same or have built at least one for production use maybe. Don't hold me to that though but am sure it's something along those lines!

 

taylor could be mate... I wasn't 100% sure to be fair

 

It could be,no sure about time attack but pretty much positive that is the case for the Ford Saloon Championship which is a shame. They should just introduce a category for these knid of cars cause everyone wants to see them in action!

 

Its fair and should be banned IMO, im not disputing that at all, would be totally gay if the series was just full of spaceframed race cars.

Its just a shame its affects the only chances of modified Fords winning anything decent

 

im sure this has been answered before then, but why can the 3dr norris EVO compete in time attack? cos that sure aint how it came from the factory dimension wise!! ?

 

Because its not spaceframe at all.

Says chassis mods can be allowed at their discression, but need to be approved beforehand.

 

what about the Fensport Celica, last time I heard they were front wheel drive

 

Not a spaceframe race car is it, its just a old Celica GT4 underneath, not exactly a big deal.
There used to be that Cossie powered Pug 206 too.
