as you can see it aint cheap but split two ways with your co-driver its not to bad.

INDIVIDUAL CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP 2006
CAR WEIGHTS EMPTY
bhp @ the wheels.............kgs on the scales

ProductionS1
add 2kg per bhp
class 3
175=225 ..................................925-1025

class 2
226=250 ..................................1026-1075

class 1
250= ..................................1076-
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Britcar
add 2kg per bhp

class GT Cup
300-380...................................1000-1160

GT3
381-410...................................1161-1220

GT3 RS
411- ........................................1221-


my merc will be GT CUP class with no more than 300 bhp at the wheels and 1000 kilos without driver and no fuel on the scales.


chosing the right car wil be haft the battle as if you have 600bhp it will be hard on fuel and you can only start with 110lt max and only full 50 lt ever stop,

so if it drinks the stuff you will be in the pits for stops more than the next guy,

also 600 bhp will be like over 440 at the wheels so must weight 1300 kilos plus

so fast in a straight line but not great round the corners.

Thanks mate, Sierra should be somewhat less of a nail

As for being competetive? We will be ok Fuel consumption will help... just a bit of fun anyway

When you are as close as me and Renton are, money and finacial situations are totally and utterly irrelevant!

Mind you he is in my will and he is also the top benefactor behind my mum so if I suddenly die then maybe I got him all wrong and I would definately get Inspector Morse to check him out

porkie mate your sierra being four wheel drive is not able to run in britcars as there rules stand,

you can use a escort cosworth, and a two wheel drive sierra or 4x4 saph

but you can not use a car converted to four wheel drive if it started of as two wheel drive.

how much does the lotus do to the gallon?

the merc is 7 to 8 mpg full race

pit stop every 1hr to be competetive and the car must go 1hr with 50 lts of fuel which is max allowed to put in each stop,

my mates v8 space framed car does 2 to 3 max mpg full race

which means he is doing the v8 series where they dont do pit stops and max 30 minute races
