Are we having any set of gentleman's rules, or is it just every man for himself? i.e. - no race fuel/octane booster, no slicks, no aerodynamic chest & leg waxes, no jet engines.....

Mine will have no rear seats, no spare wheel/toolkit and will be on V-Power & road tyres. Sound a fair benchmark??

If I get to play, the car will have just the normal spare removed...and that is it. I like to see how she does in full road trim :happy2:

Why do you remove the spare then, do you remove the sub too?

I was just thinking in terms of what is easy enough for everyone to do to reduce weight and keep an even-ish playing field... rear seats are a 10 minute job. Might not technically be full road trim, but we're also playing for pride against the other marques that'll be there, so I want to stuff 'em good!!

Obviously Jonny should be ballasted accordingly - ha ha!
