Do it, you know you want to

Shiren... Prepare for first-in-class glory!

I'm considering signing up. I probably won't venture out of Gauteng though.

Are the gymkhana events wet / dry conditions? I'm over polishing out water spots... ghhaargh

Just a hunch...

Last year there was a dry gymkhana event (Go Kart track) and a wet event (Zwartkops skidpan),

Lol, I don't think winning the class will be that easy,

Last year Marco Van Der Schyff from the N/A class came out third in the championship overall.
His sister and him were in the white BMW e36 (328i) that you always see out on track and the skidpan,

So never underestimate the N/A class

I heard about them building up a 135i recently, but even if they return with the 328i and whitewash the N/A class again, it would be an honor riding in the same class as them,

The brother and sister pair are insanely skilled drivers and do RedStar in 2.21.449 / Zwartkops in 1.17.924 and win most of the gymkhana's

Lets see which car they register with this year,

In addition to them,
I also know of Wikus from GW Delarey who is building a beast of a VW Caddy, spent a few minutes reading his build thread and its very impressive!

So N/A class looks like its going to be a challenge

Registration closes 31/12/2015!

Have no regrets

Michelin Cup - Zwartkops 28 Feb 2016.

@FT_86_SM_GT - You've seen these clips before, but this is just a reminder of how quick you actually are.

You're only about half a second off these lap times (mid 1:18's) and these drivers felt good enough about thier performance to put their videos on YouTube.

I chatted to the guy in the Stillen supercharged 350Z that day (Grant).
He was running same tyres as me - Bridgestone RE11S semis, 225/45R17.

Ferrari 360 Challenge Car, timed on the 100m mark before T5.
Must say that it sounds brilliant!!

:burnr ubber:

I paid into the Renault Sport Club SA (FNB) account and emailed proof of payment to Schalk.

Looking forward to flying the 86 flag high with you guys next year!

Pics and hopefully a video to follow

I was hoping to try out an e50 tune(Ethanol) for this competition, but I have been swamped with work recently, working on weekends as well, and have not had a chance with time to get this done. But confident with my 95ron tune from PhoenixPerformance which is reliable enough to use as a daily driver and compete on the weekends


The line up of cars and competitors looks exciting!

Envy you, sadly down here at the coast we don't have any tracks...

This is something I would be keen on, but with work I can forget about driving up for the day.

Enjoy it and goodluck!
