thompster Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Evening all,Just reading about the club sprint championship after the customary friday night bottle of red and thinking it sounds a hoot. The trouble is I only have a humble 120bhp ex-academy car. While I have no doubt that it'd be a fun few days out I'd be annoyed at coming last to a field of R500s. Is the championship split according to car/class or should I stick to non-competitve track days?Now.. back to the wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Laddie Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi Thompster,Ex academy if unchanged is perfect for Class 1.Sticky Tyres puts it into class 3, then you will be at a disadvantage.You can find the class structure in Competitors Corner.Come along, it is fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comp Scorer Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi Thompster, The class structure is set to provide competitive competition between similar performance cars.Don't worry about competing against an R500, you won't be.Class 1 is designed for cars with your spec running on List 1A tyres.Sign up and come and have a go, close competition against similar spec cars.You can't beat it.

apjenkins Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi Thompster,My Son Matt & I have been involved in the Seven Speed championship for the last 10 plus years starting in Class 1 , 2 , and now class three.I see you are in Herts, we are at the bottom end (Bricket Wood), so if you would like some 'local' advice or help etc. we would be pleased to assist.@ndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompster Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi all, thanks for the replies.I've found the class information now - should have searched before posting! My car went onto Roadsport B so has CR500s and brake bias valve so I'll have a proper read and see what that means. I also changed the cambelt last month which meant cutting the the belt cover seal so only the rocker cover engine seals are intact. Again, I'll have a read through the regs - its definatley tempting.Andrew - I'm close to M1 J5 so even more south than you. Thanks for the offer, I'll bear that in mind,Cheers, James.

Comp Scorer Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 James,CR500 are list 1B, some class 1&2 competitors have a seperate set of wheels to compete on with a set of List 1A tyres on, or just run with List 1A tyres on the road as well. List 1B tyres would automatically put you in Class 3.Brake Bias Valve, not an issue as long as it can't be adjusted from the drivers position. (Blue Book 10.7.2. Brake balance adjusters must not be available for adjustment during running.)Engine Seals - Not Required.RegardsChris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
