S2T Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Just browsing through various regulations. Why does the Westfield Speed Series use a cut off of 1800cc for say roadgoing whereas the various other Speed Championships use 1700cc. Just struck me as being a bit odd but I am sure someone will enlighten me as to the reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I understand it was requested by the factory as 1800 Zetec Westfield was a popular car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 originally the 1700cc crossflow was popular but then when the factory started to make and sell kits for the Zetec 1800cc engine it was thought that it probably had the same power as a tuned crossflow and so our limit was raised to 1800cc. I personally think we would be better dropping it to 1700cc like other clubs so our classes are the same in capacity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arm Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It came from competitors rather than the factory. Was a much debated item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTR2Turbo Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If you were setting it today without any prior constraints I guess it would be 1600 and 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If you were setting it today without any prior constraints I guess it would be 1600 and 2000 I doubt it! Look at the engine capacities for classes as events. Nat A is upto 1400 and 1401 - 2000 and nat B is upto 1700 and over 1700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I said without constraint not based on existing classes Is there a 1.7 litre engine made today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Everall Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I thought some of the road going Caterhams ran ZZR tyres which were fitted as OE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
