Why the focus on FTD and not a handicap trophy at the rally track day?

Maybe this is a dumb question from the newbie guys...but why wasnt there a handicap trophy on the tarck day at the National rally in SA like there was in QLD?

 

or a latte award.

 

if you can work out a formula, we'll do it in Melbourne in 2012

 

Why not follow the QLD 'formula' in 2012???

 

Add or subtract three seconds?

 

Trevor McP has the formula for it, wasn't he in SA.

Guess who won in Qld?


Actually most people thought Moretti would win it.

 

What are you doing up at at 2 am?

Thought I was the only insomniac in the section.

 

and me!

 

*waves*

*sigh*

 

I know they have a formula in the UK that they use for the Ferrari Club hillclimb championships, I assumed the one in QLD was based on that one? I can make some enquiries in the UK if that helps?

 

call Trevor McP, he's already done it

 

I would if I had his number or email address

 

Didn't he lose by 3 seconds?

 

He has the biggest handicap. (the nut behind the wheel )

 

I was just home from working on the Clubbies.

 

Ah, good fun.
I took 66 out for a blat yesterday.
Dayaaam!! that thing accelerates.

 

Yep, one day we'll get to do that!

It's going to have to be fast to impress me though.

 

Well you've had a few quick ones, I guess.
This thing was quick enough to take out the nsw supersprint championship in other hands.
I'm still getting used to her, sorting the driving position etc.

 

Don't get me wrong, i'm really looking forward to the driving - I just expect the most fun will be in the handling as they are so light.

 

Yes, they gobble up just about anything in the twisty bits.
The only video showing a road going car that matches the handling I've seen on yu-tube is of a GD T70 Lola spyder
I'm not touching my suspension for the time being, as its been set up by Redback Motorsport. That crew really know how to fine tune a clubbies' handling. Luckily I weigh the same as the driver it was set for.
My driving position adjustments don't move my weight around either, as they're pedal box and seat cushioning changes only.
There's a lot of time to be found in the driver before I'll look for more from the car.

 

We are going to leave our engines pretty much standard and concentrate all our development time on the handling. The one good thing about having too much power is we don't have to go looking for more.

Should be fun.

 

Would be an interesting exercise to put this years times in and see how it pans out. Darrens 348GTC might me a good chance.

 

you're just saying that because you know you'd win.

 

I'm going to donate the "Horse Memorial 308 Trophy".




















































































































The winner is the 308 driver who beats moretti by 3 seconds.











































































Hang on, we're gunna need a lot of trophies.

 

Horse sense, eh?

Now! That's uncommon.
