Silverstone Classic event

[Diver944]

Excellent thread chaps, all the Cup banter made me feel that I was there instead of on my hols

This is the one event I really wanted to go to this year as classic race meetings are among my favourite. See you all at Ragley (which will be static and will surely involve cups of tea as opposed to Cup cars [] )

"With the 944 Turbo Cup Porsche starts the tradition of the single-marque trophies with near-standard cars. The racing car features a four-cylinder engine with a turbo charger and intercooler, which delivers 162 kW at 5,800 rpm from 2,479 cc. (Since 1987: 184 kW (250 hp) at 6,000 rpm). The maximum torque is 330 Nm at 3,500 rpm (since 1987: 350 Nm at 4,000 rpm). A magnesium oil sump (standard: aluminium), a smaller generator, a modified turbo charger and reinforced engine bearings are concessions for racing. As a novelty in motorsport the engine features a three way catalytic converter. The gearbox bearing of the fully synchromesh five-speed gearbox is reinforced. The harder, height adjustable suspension with larger anti-roll bars (front 27 mm, rear 21 mm), an additional spring at the rear axle and bigger perforated brake discs, as well as a larger brake calliper at the front, allow numerous possibilities for adjustment and racing precision. A standard ABS adjusted for racing purposes comes into operation. In the 944 Turbo Cup 245/45 VR 16 inch tyres are fitted to the front axle, with rear tyres measuring 255/40 VR 16 inches."
