Terry Everall Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 The SSOT have already noted this situation and are investigating the acceptability of the 1800cc engine that ACW last used which was in a Modified class rather than Road class as specified by Motorsport UK latest Regs Quote

(Sorry, couldn't resist) Actually you are dead right one of the best weekends I have had was the engine out and back in at Blyton. Because it was the spirit of the series with everyone mucking in to get me back in the car for one run at the end of the day. 2 1 Quote

Thanks in advance Marto Quote
Barry S Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 How do the AR 1s react to double driving are the like the 1c where their was an advantage in having a tyre warmer?? cheers Barry Quote
tkm_dave Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 As the saying goes, more than one way to de-fur a moggy. Regardless of power, gadgets, gearbox etc there's generally a way to win, if you want it badly enough. I did OK in 2017 and wasn't in the lightest nor most powerful car, without traction or launch. Arguably the only thing common across the class was pretty much every car had paddle shift. Returning to topic, I was staggered at how good the AR-1s were on Simon's car, despite them seemingly barely wearing at all and being 15s not the 13s I've always driven on. 1 Quote

AR1 Are ok from cold. They are amazing where warm, and they are **** after 4 laps when they overheat... But starting with them with some degrees over the cold start would be great. Are you hiring?

Marto303 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 I have been in contact with extreme tyres today enquiring on the availability of a 215. They tell me they have the ability to produce them now but have only checked the suitability of Kumho V700’s casings for their matrix and need 150 casings for a production run. Quote
ACW Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Sorry - my post seems to have cause people some effort. Im keen to know what counts in S12 from an MSA point of view. It seems that reading the yearbook for the first time in a long long time, that the MSA have had similar thoughts to the SSOT in making more of a one size fits all for the class structure. Many things seem to be free in S.12 even with a conservative reading. I'd like to come play if I can get the car sorted. I probably wouldnt run the 1800 engine although im not sure there is anything preventing it in the rules as they stand. My car in the last 12 years has always run full lights, 2 seats and belts and had an MOT for shakedowns. The only time it didnt have full lights etc was when Mike was double driving it, and invariably it did have that at the start of the day :). 5 2 Quote

Following on from the BEC v CEC debate and on a first past the post basis, I’d be interested to see how that works out ! Quote
