I was in the garage with Graham all day long back at Brands. Unless he has gone and put a stack of lead in that car prior to this race its way under weight, not massively but enough to make a considerable difference. How on earth does Steve know the weight of a car that is neither registered in the championship or racing in the championship? Anyway apart from all that my primary concern with the introduction of the 968 into class 2 is cost related. It used to be possible to do reasonably well on a shoe string with a more cheaply prepared and run car. Paul Seagrave for example has been a great advert for doing Porsche racing on the cheap and I am sure must have got a few ppl interested in doing it based on his penny pinching exploits. That rug has been pulled unfortunately and now to compete in class 2 is going to cost as much as class 1 did a few years back. I think everyone that knows me understands my cost constraints, as things stand I am priced out of the Porsche club championship but wouldn't have been if I had started a few years earlier. If this is what ppl want then fine, however most ppl including long term club members have no idea how expensive this lark has become and its only getting worse. Stuart I am very interested in that Britcar development, can you keep me in the loop for that off line mate. I hadn't heard anything about this development until you mentioned it the other day. A small number of big events is much more my focus going forward. I also like the technical mechanisms they use to try and create performance equivalence, its not perfect but a bit more advanced than anyone else is doing without over regulation.ORIGINAL: rsy944 In his defence there was a 944S2 in the invitation class that did very well, Steve said it was on weight but different tyres. Best regards Stuart
Boxsters (2.5, 3.2 etc) will be welcome in CSCC next year (as this). There is already an up to 2.5 litre class and i'd have thought a Boxster (or indeed a 2.5 944, which don't seem to race much anymore) would be very competitive in that.ORIGINAL: rsy944 It also looks like I will be going over to the Deutsche Mark series next year as they have a structure based on the car not the driver. Best regards Stuart
