read about this and it does sound interesting, if its still going in 2011 i think i could be very interested in it.
rolling starts to protect transmission
max 400hp (at flywheel)
and plenty of time between rounds to rebuild the car!!
dates-
Race Events:
5th April – Castle Combe
8th/9th May – Silverstone
5th/6th June – Brands Hatch
25th July – Oulton Park
30th Aug – Castle Combe

now that is very interesting martyn, il be reading through that properly a little later.
the main hurdle at the moment is getting a car to be reliable enough to get through practice,qualifying, race day with races lasting approx 1/2hr
may sound very simple but its a major problem when running over 400bhp, as myself and steve ferguson have found on a few occasions lol.
ive stepped down the boost so only running around 350 on track and il see if that works this week at brands. in all fairness the engine and quaife, clutch etc all seems to be spot on its just niggly little things which cause the probs. you solve one and another rears its oogly head lol.
with regard to the gtiroc possible sprint / track days i think these could be a bit of fun (nothing serious) but competetive at the same time, and im sure theres a few of us on here and the other site that would be up for this....especially as more cars are now becoming track based.
powers pretty much irrelevant tbh as a smaller tubby will be less laggy so youll have an advantage on a smaller type circuit anyway.

i could be interested in a sprint series next year for fun, would have to be spread out (dates wise) to allow me to sort out work commitments and travel details/arrangements ( as id have a bit further to travel than most!!)
could we even fit in a scottish round??
it would be a trek but could make a weekend of it?
id say 4 or 5 dates max would allow plenty of people to take part?
if i can help with any details let me know, ie

Its about time this club pulled its finger out and did something like that, i've been doing a few small sprints this year with a local car club and they've been really good ;-)MLR Sprint Series.........why not......... GTIROC Sprint Series:-D8)
Maybe some of the club funds that are sat in a bank account somewhere gathering dust could be spent on some timing gear or something and getting a few events organised :lol:
The only problem i can see is the usual lack of interest and poor turnouts :?

Another one! To say you hate the way pulsars break on you, you must love them really! Looks good!
In fairness there wasa good turnout for the oulton track day, both driving and watching. Could be the shape of things to come.
Thats pretty much the issue we have here :sad:

andy what about starting a new thread for a sprint 'series' and see how much interest there is before it goes any further?
would be handy aswell if people knew what spec of safety gear they need for theyre car to take part?
if theres not much interest then it saves alot of work? however not everyone would have to make every event for it to go ahead?

I'm looking at location rental fee's, event insurance and timing equipment etc.
We'd need over 50 cars to participate in such an event.
If we can get that then I’d get it sorted. 8)
I'll do a bit more digging, but I think a separate thread about this would be best.
I'll sort that out over the weekend...

Would this be track days or sprints? MLR do sprints and let other types of cars in to make up the numbers?
If this did go ahead i might do this instead of the MSA sprints/hillclimbs?
Cars would last a lot longer doing sprints?
Only thing for me is i am about 1 hr north of Aberdeen!

you dont need 50 for sprints! trackdays yes but sprint circuits are much much cheaper
eg...curborough is around £500 for the day (so thats around £50 a head if theres ten of us) and there are places like that dotted all over the uk, obviously these need to be in different parts of uk so its fair on the scottish members also as well as those down south
i think the best solution 'as already said' is to start another thread and see who is genuinely interested on both forums (i would guess around 8-10 on this forum alone).
you may find it easier for both clubs to pitch together on this and perhaps involve another club such as 200sx oc, for which ru55gtir has a lot of contacts, perhaps a combination of sprints, hillclimbs and trackdays.......
the 200oc arrange a lot of motorsport events such as above and youll have no problem getting numbers that way.
just a thought
