they list ibiza as eligble... but:
CLASS A 1350cc – 1600cc + <1400cc forced induction
CLASS B 1601cc – 2000cc + 1401cc – 1600cc forced induction
CLASS C 2001cc – 2500cc + 1601cc – 2000cc forced induction <<-- 1601-2000cc turbo'd?

no class for turbo'd 1781cc engine (1.5x capacity)-or is this class c
:(

Hmmm Combe runs 1801-3000cc class with 1.5x factor for force inducted cars. (ie max is 2000cc turbo motor)

Wonder if this is a squeaze cos of Castle Combes split from BRSCC-South West Center for them previously. Doing their own thing from 2006. (saloon car c'ship etc)

Sounds good, can you use a hire car, or local SEAT garages courtesy car. Or maybe we should have a forum car thats used, so who wants to stick there LCR up for the first race.

The 1781cc turbo fits right into the "1601-2000cc forced induction" cateory of class C.

The Combe championship is great but the cars are allowed a little more tweaking than is being proposed here I think. This series seems to be going for very much "stock" cars and of course, will tour many circuits.

I read that.... their regs.. well prohibitive. poxy in fact IMHO.

std brakes, std intercoolers... ibiza would be doomed. LOL

difficult to see how the class up to 2500cc will not favour turbo'd 2ltr models tho.

and there was me thinking the Combe c'ship was prohibitive.. :p

they talk 5 year old cars max... so every year a car will fall off the end of their "eligable" models... which they list as starting as 2001, but the series does'nt start until 2007, so 2001 cars are already too old!

:think:
 
I think the limits are a good idea. It will make for an excellent entry-level formula to get people into motorsport. No offence to any of the people grumbling above about them being too prohibitive, but you've obviously got the money and the mechanical know-how to make those mods. This way I think it makes alot more of it to do with good initial choice of car and the real test, how good the driver is.

I know what you're saying but I am speaking from the spec car I HAVE NOW ;)

std brakes? racing? *cough* List 1b tyres tho (lucky buggers)

The 5 year old rule is the fundermental flaw in their plan tho... Cars cost a bloody fortune to build and prep for them to have a very small lifespan?
Why would you want to bother for such a short time?

Combes 10 year age thing renders 10+ year old cars (from date of model ceasation) being excluded. 205's no more now, Maestro no more now.

Power to weight remains the key to these very restricted "std car" series
