Well Knockhill, my closest track at 150 miles away  :sad1: now has their own version of Bedfords How Fast Event, but with a mildly better class system.

The classes are based on WHEEL HP / race weight (so car including driver and a minimal amount of fuel).

A = > 400bhp/ton
B = 301 to400bhp/ton
C = 201 to 300bhp/ton
D = < 200bhp/ton

Im definitely up for this once im back from the Falkland Islands.Although the scary thing is mine is way down even on the Class D figures  :scared:
im only circa 210whp and with me in the car its prob 1.28 tonne so only about 168whp/ton and my car id far from slow.

Thinking about it a 350Hp(290whp) ed30 would drop into the Class D as well!!!!!

Janner_Sy:
Just realised a Golf GTI (stock) would only be about 115whp/ton and still in Class D!!!

I reckon the classes could be rejigged to make it more competitive.

Edit

just read into it a little more.

You need your MSA National B non race licence, which is easy to get, i need to renew mine but its just a case of filling some forms in and paying your money,

but you are limited on what tyres you can run, only MSA type 1A&1B tyres are allowed, you also need a race suit/helmet etc.  They have made it alot more dificuylt than the MSV How Fast event, thats for sure.  :scared:

Hurdy:
Mine is 320bhp (on Statllers newly calibrated dyno  :evilgrin:)and 1.65 ton with me in, so I'd be in class D too! :innocent:

Which IMO is rubbish, how can yours be in the same class as a 200Hp Mk5 GTI  :fighting:.  Id be p1$$ed if i turned up hoping for a competitive class and found yours there.  Id still take you though  :driver:  :P

Mikey-D:
I agree, this looks great, but the under 200hp/ton group will have everything from 4wd turbos to n/a FWD's. E46 M3 is just over that!
