Thanks Coxbox for this series, it was great fun and great racing too. Thanks to all guys who raced in. Looking forward to meet you all in next series.
About Citroen 2CV and Fiat 500, I think both will be great. Racing both against one another F500 will win easily so we better choose about one of them, and if F500 we better stay with the premium one because there is one of the 70's that will be faster than the rest.
Even if I prefer rear powered cars, now that 2CV can be painted it is looking to me that it would be great fun to race with them, and if we keep the same race distance maybe it would be a good idea to put fast fuel/tire depletion... not the fastest one but fast than normal so some strategy would be needed.
Also a request... put 1 or two oval races, it might be fun and they could be a extra cup inside the championship, and please please Nurburgring Norshleiffe. That race in 2CV would be amazing. If you put some European races and American and Asian we could have also extra cups (Europa Cup, America Cup and Asia Cup), it could give some bonus interest to the series inside the full championship.
Just some ideas and wishes,
see you all around and maybe we meet in some test racing for next series before it begins
Cheers
Yes i agree however the 2CV and 500f are similar weights so we juts need to bring down the bhp of the 500f and add ballast to the 2cv.
But this is what i wanted to do, i was reading the 2cv racing website and thought we could follow their rules.

Technical Information
Engines - Sensible engine tuning means engines can last a couple of seasons, including a 24-hour between rebuilds, and it only costs between £600 and £1200 to build in the first place. They are a simple and interesting unit to work on and performance is better than most people think. With 35-45HP and a car weighing only 530Kg the cars can still do 90 mph.
(so we can have fully tuned engines)
Wheels & tyres - Tyres must be 135 x 80 x 15 inch TOYO road tyres. A set can last more than a complete season - not including the 24-hour race when between 1 and 4 tyres may be needed to complete the distance. Tyres are available through the club at a discount price. Standard Citroen 2cv original road wheels must be used & are available discounted to 2cv racers.
(So Sports Soft)
Suspension - The one area where racing 2CVs are noticeably different from road 2CVs, is that the race 2CVs suspension has been lowered and stiffened. This means there is none of that 'scraping the door mirrors on the road' when cornering like standard road 2CVs. Spring rates are generally increased 150-200% over standard springs which coupled to light weight makes them very agile on the track, enough to surprise other race cars on a test day. Corner speed is the Holy Grail. Modifications required to achieve racing quality handling are very limited, modified front arms (camber and caster adjustments) can be supplied by a number of teams or simply modify them yourself to reduce the costs.
(Racing Suspension)
Gearbox - A standard 2CV6 602cc gearbox is used (Dyane or 2CV4 gearboxes are not allowed), the only modifications permitted are that you can extend the gear stick and put a blanking pug in the speedo cable hole if no speedometer is fitted to the car. Gearboxes, even in race trim, seem to last for ever, and can be easily rebuilt.
(Sadly the stadard gearbox in game is crap top speed of 60 mph not 90 mph so a racing gearbox can be used.)
Exterior - it is necessary to remove the front and rear bumpers and the fitting of a front spoiler is mandatory. The side and rear windows can be replaced with 4mm thick Perspex sheet. Glass reinforced bonnets, front & rear wings are optional from season 2004. The mandatory ABS front spoiler is available to racing club members.

(And of course no aids)
2012 race dates (provisional)
Rounds 1 & 2 Oulton Park
Rounds 3 & 4 Silverstone
Rounds 5 & 6 Mallory Park (Live TV)
Rounds 7 & 8 Croft
Round 9 snetterton 24 hour
We could do a similar race schedule two rounds one each week on the same track. This can be done 4 times so 4 tracks 8 races, 8 weeks. Then finally we could hold a slightly longer race which could be like a 24 hour race just not as long so maybe two hours or 1 hour long, tracks can be decided later.

I had real fun (even tho I might have cursed a few times
