MSA TORA Clubman Cup - 07/07/12 - 8pm BST

The Clubman Cup returns towards the end of the MSA National Motorsport Week with an extended Cup that will feature more races throughout the night.

The previous Cup took place over three races at three different tracks. This time the Cup will be run for a longer period throughout the night with two races taking part on each track and there will be three tracks we will visit. The tracks will be different from the previous Cup as we travel to Suzuka, Laguna Seca and Catalunya.



There will be no qualifying as grids will be set to random for the first race at each track. The grid will then be set to reverse lobby points for the second race around each circuit.

The cars list remains relatively unchanged, with additions to the banned car list. The PIs have also been slightly adjusted, with FWD being allowed to be built up to 480 and can have wider tyres fitted as noted in the rules below:

Please post your interest in this thread and discuss the Clubman Cup.

i'm in here, oh can't wait to race my actual car in the game

I am very much IN for this.

I have a car choice Q: how about the gen-1 RX7? I built one according to specs and would love to give it a go.

Depending on interest and timings, especially for the guys in the US, we could run this an hour later at 9pm BST if that help.

I think I made a Gen 1 RX7 before I went away, I will check tomorrow when I get home and update the list.

I just noticed the date in the title, isn't this event on Saturday and not Sunday?

Yeah, Saturday is the 7th and Sunday the 8th is the start of GT Season 9.

Sounds good to me

I should be able to make this event.

Now to choose a car.

In for this - built/basic tuned 12 cars over the past couple of nights.

Ran them at Laguna Seca last night and, surprise surprise, the quickest was the 12th car I ran

Any idea when we'll have confirmation of exactly which tracks we're running at Suzuka and Catalunya?!?

Ok, I'm an idiot, I have read the thread properly now.

Yes, In please.

I'm in with the Ford SVT Cobra R

IN

Im in for this, not a clue what car yet though.
Stan - can you send me on the required logo's please?

The 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth is down on you list as RWD but it shows as AWD in Forza.

Is this car valid please?

Ha, I have just found there is a RWD conversion. I'll assume this is the correct thing to do.

will any of you guys be practising on thursday or friday nights?

I'm not fast but would like to get an idea of how far i will be off the pace.

cheers.

Sorry for the late replies, yeah the Escort is a RWD swap.

I'm not sure who will be practising, there is a Historic GT race on Thursday and the Fun Friday night.

Did all the testing I need soon after the last Clubman Cup. Just wondering, since the Clubman races are supposed to be a test for the VLN races, are we allowed to race different cars in the three races? I have an old gen-1 RX7 and a rotary powered Frankenmiata I would like to race... actually have five or six oddball cars built to spec.
