Interesting... what's the rule on Pirelli World Challenge series? stock engine? swap engine? chassis?
Anyone enlighten me, so I get somewhat of idea, please~ |

2.1.3.2: Grand Touring Sport (GTS)
The allowed body styles within this class are coupe, sedan and convertible. The cars permitted in GTS are typically marketed as “sports cars”, “sport-touring cars” or performance versions of “luxury” cars but at a lower permissible preparation level than GT. Forced induction is permitted on cars that come equipped with forced induction stock. Power output ranges from 300-400 hp. Weight varies depending on power output and tire size. Front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive configurations are permitted. Pirelli World Challenge stuff from page 35 to 78: http://www.sccaproracing.com/files/m...0PRR%20V06.pdf |

This car looks like it's going to be stuck N/A according to the GTS rules. However they are allowed to build the block, head etc.
The 86 will have to rely on its low CoG and power to weight. It will be interesting to see the team squeeze 300rwhp out of this in N/A trim. Lots of timing, race fuel, etc, are going to be part of the equation I'm sure. EDIT: since posting this I have been made aware (as everyone else has) that this car will be supercharged and supercharged by means of a modified TRD supercharger which, by process of elimination, deduction and other other sleuthy skills (and some not so sleuthy) we know that the TRD supercharger will be available to the public sometime in the near future.

Awesome news, I will be watching this closely. Either they will have to make some big power NA or have TRD release a supercharger for the car to comply with the rules.

SCCA World Challenger isn't a nationwide broadcast, is it? I wonder if i'd likely be able to ever watch a race.
