YAY.

For 2010.

permit some kit cars in XP, as follows:

- The following cars to be classed in XP with allowances restricting the minimum engine size (and therefore minimum weight):

Factory Five
Mk3 Roadster & Challenge Car
Type 65 Coupe
GTM Supercar
- All with a minimum engine size of 4.5L normally aspirated or the equivalent forced induction engine size and
weight.

Superformance
MKIII
GT40 MKII
Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe
- All with a minimum engine size of 4.5L normally aspirated or the equivalent forced induction engine size and
weight.

Noble
M12
M12GTO

- All with minimum engine size 2.9L with forced induction or 4.1L normally aspirated.

- The PAC is reviewing the possibility of recommending the addition of some limited-availability, non-domestic-market cars into
class X Prepared on a case-by-case basis, and is requesting

Music to my ears and Sweetness on my lips...

I couldn't be more happy about this decision!

Noble Vs FrankenLotus - this is going to get interesting

Randy Chase · 08-21-2009, 05:18 PM

We will be trophy fodder only. We weigh 700 pounds more than the Lotus. He has a lot of power. He has stripped out everything, no windows, no windshield, no interior stuff, no dash. Every little thing. And then ballasted up to meet minimum weight by using strategically placed lead in the passenger foot well.

Heck, my full rollcage weighs more than the entire Lotus chassis.

But at least we can run in the class and have some fun!

Man, if nothing else the class will have some beautiful cars in it.

You could always strip and boost the Noble for AutoX and keep the Rossion as the daily driver

That is kind of the plan. Just not sure how much I want to do (like remove AC, radio, windows, etc). There is also the issue of how much I am willing to spend to go fast (replace the two turbos with smaller ones, new ECU, etc).

We shall see.

The Noble was very fast today and is now back at the tuners for more work.

Cool! I wouldn't say trophy fodder, ultimately. The car needs development, but it can be very fast! It is kinda scary just how fast since it rolls up ready to run. The minimum engine size is a good compromise IMHO. XP should be a very well subscribed class. We had more cars than half of the stock classes and most of the prep and mod classes as well.
