Fully Supported drive in the 2005 Kumho's


As alot of you know, I'm trying to make a business out of running race cars on an arrive & drive basis and more specifically in our E30 next year.

Basically, we'll do all the leg work and the driver just turns up and drives. We pay for everything except fuel and damage and it's priced very keenly as well.

If anyone's interested or knows anyone that's interested please give us a shout on info@xlmotorsport.com or visiting our website http://www.xlmotorsport.com

Dom
Just been looking at your site and car specs.

How do you get 230 out of your 325. It seems very high for what you have or is there something you have not told us?

Also with that sort of power and the weight you are carrying you should be in class B.

Read the regs mate....One's at the fly the other is at the wheel, one is with driver & fuel the other isn't. Class C allows a max roadwheel power of 205bhp and a min weight of 1034Kg (including the driver) ie 934kg without me!

Hmmm

I read the regs - and was not that clear - but now I know.
This looks like some real weight saving to do. Now you see how all those extra grams add up.

What do you do about exhaust - have you got a special one because the one I have weights quite a lot when it is off the car.

BTB one mate as do most of the E30's. You've just got to buy the lightest of everything you can and rip everything out. Less weight = less power needed to make it go fast emoticon
