Smart Cup

Hi guys

Putting the feelers out for a Smart Cup.

I've created a car that has PI 400, 153hp, 1797lbs, top speed around the 125mph mark, with no setup adjustment allowed. Could possibly use it as an entry level series coz the times the top guys are doing in GTs is hellish daunting.

What I'm imagining is an hour long session, 10 mins quali, 2x15 min races, quali dictates race 1 grid, reverse grid race 2. This is only a draft if anyone has any suggestions if be happy to hear them.

Possibly running Tuesday / Weds evening GMT?

Tuesday is an official TORA raceday, mainly for the Touring Car championship when it comes around again, but the MR2 mini-series is on it's way.

Oh right I'd avoid that day then.

Id be interested.The smart cars ok but could i would be great to see a championship with madly different cars.Just my thoughts tho:)
your actual racing idear/set up sounds good.What size of tracks you thinking?

think who many you could fit into the first corner!!! now thats a challenge.

I was thinking of maybe doing two tier, restricted as per above and an open class to do whatever you like max PI of say 500 :-)

No longer than 2 miles, no ovals :-)

Oh my goodness this has to happen!

get yourself some rules and a calendar made up and see here it goes , i would suggest not to go B500 keep it lower.

Well for the first season I'd keep with the 400 PI but if it got popular we could open up to an open class. I'll draft something up tonight and put it up tomorrow AM

Id just keep it to the one class or least till you get numbers sorted to see if enough people join both classes.Think 400pi for these cars should be ok but i wouldnt go any higher, personally id maybe make it a bit lower maybe 350pi.Slower cars car make for great racing.Need to do alot more lower pi racing on TORA.

yeah keep it simple to start with and see how your first season goes.

I'll tune them back to 350. Cheers for the advice guys :-)

Hi. I've tuned the car back to 375 PI and am happy with the cars performance, only slight issue is the tendency to jump on its roof when you hit a high kerb :-) so I'm thinking of a sub table counting the amount of times a driver rolls it over a year with an upside R number for the winner!

In all seriousness the car is ready and I've created a sticker and setup pack for distribution. What I'd like to know is if anyone is interested in entering, what night they're available (GMT 8.30pm kickoff for 1 hour) and how many rounds should we run, I'm thinking four for the first run through.

Cheers

after having tuned these badboys for Jr TCC last year, it was friggen unstable as heck and easily flipable.

I say don't go over PI 420

Yeah I went a bit lower, 375, handle nicely, little unstable if you overcorrect but otherwise ok, gonna leave sunset club off the calendar as if you touch any of the kerbs you go over. Amusing At first gets boring quickly :-)

what about a wednesday night at 8.30??
Im def interested:) Get the build up here or on your storefront and i will grab a copy.

I'll do a new post later this evening with the updated info.

ill not be able to race but if you need any help please ask.
