Gt Battle 06

[LexDakarDatsun]

Hi all,

I’m pleased to finally be able to release the plans for GT Battle '06

http://www.gtbattle.com

Last year GT Battle was the 1st UK event to host D1 corporation drift demonstration on track as well the 1st UK event to hold a Time Attack competition

This year we have built on that success by bringing you:

The D1GB Drift Championship http://www.d1gb.co.uk

The UK Time Attack Championship http://www.timeattack.co.uk

and announcing

Time Attack ‘Club Challenge’

All competing on track on the same day!

Time Attack ‘Club Challenge’ will run alongside the Tuner Class Time Attack entries like these - http://www.timeattack.co.uk/competitors.asp

If your not sure what TimeAttack means – think of each of the cars pictured going out in turn to do a flying F1 qualifying lap http://www.timeattack.co.uk/history.asp

The club challenge is intended to be an opportunity for the various internet performance cars clubs to “step away from the keyboard” and settle some old scores at the place that our cars should be pushed – the Racetrack !

The rules are fairly simple :

Roll cages are allowed – not mandatory

Minimum 4 point Saftey harness and Helmet

Road legal dot marked tyres

Any suspension mods allowed

Any braking mods allowed

Any engine mods allowed – However :

NA must stay NA

Modified turbos are allowed - must use factory standard size turbine housing

Any Fuel allowed

No NitrousOxide

110db Noise Limit

We will also be accepting a few special ‘wild card entries’ from cars that are track focused but fall outside of either the Time Attack or Club Challenge regs

So if you would like to push your car on track, score points for your club and are confidant that you can make the dates. Register your interest by sending a mail with your spec to :

info@timeattack.co.uk

The dates and venues are :

Round 1 - May 28th (Sun) Rockingham

Round 2 - June 17th (Sat) Silverstone

Round 3 - July 2nd (Sun) Rockingham

Round 4 - August 20th (Sun) Silverstone

Round 5 - September 17th (Sun) Rockingham

Final - October 1st (Sun) Silverstone

Hi all,

We have had lots of feedback to the proposed plans for the GT Battle club challenge

Its clear that there are lots of exciting cars that have the potential to be very quick on track that presently fall outside of the regs as they stand

As a result the regulations have been modified to follow more closely the regs of GT Battle last yr :

1. Any Modifications Allowed

2. No restriction on turbo size

3. Dot marked road legal tyres

4. Fire extinguisher fitted – does not need to be plumbed in

Full details on the club challenge including info on how to qualify for the final at Rockingham on Sept 17th

So if you have a modified car and want to see how fast it can go round one of these circuits
