I looked at this the other day, before commenting on race cars. I thought speed events had been brought in line with other disciplines in 2017, but it doesn't seem to be that straight forward. Below are from this years Blue Book from section S (Sprints Hill Climbs and Drag Racing):

So, for me, that says cars in the standard class use a x1.7 multiplier. But all other classes use a x1.4 multiplier. It used to be x1.4 for everything. Confused? Well, I am. The wording doesn't help...

[Benc]

Yeah 11.9.1.4 does it for me Anyhow 1.8x1.4 or 1.8x1.7 both more than 2.0

Arrive Saturday morning and booked a hotel for the evening

There speaks the voice of experience
Remember the year we all ended up in that motel Paul? Running bets as to whos tent would blow away first! Ben had to wear his race boots to the restaurant for evening meal as only dry footwear he's got

I've edited this for you Craig:

Ben looked like a prize plum as he had to wear his race boots to the restaurant for evening meal as only dry footwear he's got

It didn't half rain that day...

Standard class is new. My feeling is that they don’t want Turbos and Supercharges on anything other than 1.0ltr Fiestas and Corsas. It just rules out anything with a 1.2 TSi engine

1.7 x 1.2 = 2.04

Completed my entry online for the full weekend probably drive over afternoon Friday.

Planning to camp does this need booking if so how?

Anyone else want to share a garage please let me know.

Cheers

[swoakes]

Camping is free and does not need to be booked.

As I said to Paul you will have used the 2017 regs for the class number which may or may not be correct for 2018

[Benc]

I did read that earlier post, guessed at number 6, taken my cash so guess I’m in and two rounds paid for

Thanks for confirming ref camping

[Corky]

That's what I'm entered as Ben. Class 1C - Road Going Series Production over 2000cc group 6.

I'm camping too, I hope the snow clears up before then.....

Just realised that I got that wrong, I should be in Class 1E group 8. I've emailed them to point out my cockup

You can't run on 1Bs in class 6, but you can in the 2 & 4 seater sports cars category. Hence the switch..

[Benc]

I’m on 1A tyres does that make a difference?

[Corky]

Depends whether you want to go head to head with me

TBH they may bump you up, based on it being a 2 seater sports car.

[Benc]

Definitely I’m up for the challenge

I will email them and let them know to put me in the class as the other demon road going arrow class Scimitar’s

[swoakes]

2 entries just submitted now the 2018 regs are available on the site.

Those of you that entered before the regs were published...are the class numbers the same
