I'm most likely gonna be heading down as well

I'll likely be there to help out again, but am not competing.

Weekend is looking pretty sloppy so I'm probably out barring forecast changes.

Remember, this is AMP. They are in a different weather zone than the rest of the world. And Steve, bring your car down, it'll be good experience, and since everyone else will be slowing down with the wet track, if it is wet, you will likely be more motivated to go faster and not get wet since you're roofless. Plus, in the wet is the best experience for the track, gives you more confidence when it isn't wet! Come on down!!

The hourly forcast on the weathernetwork.com is calling for sunny breaks in the afternoon. If it looks like it will clear up as the day goes on is there any hope of a late start an run later in the day and run 2 sessions at a time instead of all four at once so each run group gets some nice weather?

You're right, I remember on a few occasions rain at one end of the track dry at the other end. Rain makes you drive smoother, thus makin you faster in the end!

I was driving a completely different car so I changed classes on the entry form. This going to effect your pax calculation as well.

Your Car is not on the Ontario Time Attack Base Car list, I am pretty sure you have to e-mail them to get classed properly. I just went through this with my 96 Evo IV GSR and need the first two time attacks (Sept 2nd&3rd) adjusted to set me as a SGT3 class instead of a SGT2 .

I remember you telling me that your car is a 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX STI RA. From what I have read the specs on it are: Stock HP 256 (260PS) Stock Curb Weight 2596lbs. Link to where I got this info : http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/subar ... _11/27658/

If I were to take a guess based on power to weight I would imagine your car stock would be an SGT3 or at the very top of GT1 ( with premium R-Comps ) .
For example My car was classed almost at the top of GT1 Stock ( with premium R-Comps ) and is 276 HP and weighs 2976lbs and it starts with 79.4 Pips. ( 80-84.9 Pips is SGT3 )

Power to weight 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX RA: power to weight ratio of 0.0986132512

Power to Weight 1996 Lancer Evolution IV GSR: power to weight ratio of 0.0927419355

Used this Calculator to get power to weight: http://www.easycalculation.com/physics/ ... -ratio.php

Here is the Link to E-mail the CASC to have them class your car: http://www.macrocosm.on.ca/ccdb/ContactUs.aspx

Hope this helps you sort out your Vehicle classing

I see that I have Luc S (GT3)and Mark C(T2) in classes other than was marked on their entry form. I do remember people coming and changing their classes during the event, but grey hair affects my memory of who or which classes changed.
I seek advice from those who understand the classing system.

actually gabe is a little off on the specs here's to clarify
Power to Weight Ratio =0.1024362769
which is more power
hope this will clear things up i have memorized the time attack regs and know the formulas and car data base quite well.

Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2004 2004 3263.00 300.00 80 AWD 10.88 83.18 82.2 SGT3
Subaru Impreza WRX Sti 2005 2005 3298.00 300.00 80 AWD 10.99 82.78 81.9 SGT3
Subaru Impreza WRX Sti 2006 2006 3351.00 300.00 80 AWD 11.17 82.17 81.5 SGT3
Subaru Impreza WRX Sti 2007 2007 3351.00 293.00 80 AWD 11.44 81.25 80.8 SGT3
Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2008 2008 3395.00 305.00 80 AWD 11.13 82.31 81.6 SGT3
Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2011 2011 3384.00 305.00 80 AWD 11.10 82.43 81.7 SGT3

The WRX Type RA is a stripped down version of the WRX that was available in the Japanese market for people to purchase for motorsports and tuning. Targeted for race and rally, the RA versions were generally lighter in weight; featuring reduced soundproofing, manual windows, no air conditioning, no anti-lock brakes, and added racing features such as more robust engines, driver controlled center differentials, and shorter gearing. The WRX Type RA uses a closer ratio gearbox and a three-spoke leather steering wheel from Nardi.

kerb weight 1200 kg 2646 lb
maximum power output 274.8 PS (271 bhp) (202.1 kW)
at 6500 rpm
maximum torque 319 Nm (235 ft·lb) (32.5 kgm)
at 4000 rpm

with 9.76lbs/hp your car is not even going to come close to being a gt3

here are the cars in your power to weight class so you know where you will stand thats actually how cars are classed also suspension comes into play as well
hp to weight is in blue
BMW Z4 M Roadster 2006 2006 3197.00 330.00 75 RWD 9.69 87.28 83.5 SGT3
Jaguar XKR Coupe 2005 2005 3785.00 390.00 65 RWD 9.71 87.22 80.5 SGT3
Nissan 370Z Coupe 2009 2011 3232.00 332.00 75 RWD 9.73 87.12 83.4 SGT3
Chevrolet Camaro SS 2010 2011 AT 3913.00 400.00 65 RWD 9.78 86.96 80.3 SGT3

with all the other sti's being sgt3 and yours being a lighter rally spec. and with your power to weight ratio.

Besides we were told you cant class yourself until ontario time attack gets back to you about your car. We had to wait for it regardless of "similar" cars we didnt like it either but its the rules.

I hope you didnt think that because the pulsar was gt3 your sti ra was gt3 as they are considerably different.

I stand corrected, I guess I was looking at an earlier generation or where I got my info from was inaccurate. Either way even if his car was stock an SGT3, I am pretty sure he was on street tires, that would reduce his points by 10 and should land him 2 classes lower ( GT2 ) not SGT3 where he currently is. But you are right we cannot class cars only Ontario Time Attack can, so E-mail em your specs and get classed.

^ yes Street tires.

I ran the car because that is what i had with me. It will likely never be run again. The event organizers can class me wherever they see fit.

They will class you with what ota says you are, we were gonna guess mine but Brian Gay explained we never guess. Just email them ASAP and tell them its the end of the season and you need to get ranked soon. You may get an award with your time.

Yeah I was classed wrong, I am supposed to be a T2 which would give me a pax time of 82.566 (3rd place) It's all good, lets just PLZ fix it asap. I also need to have the other two times out re-classed at well (Had roughly the same time as what I had last weekend)

thanks James for pointing this out

I have them changed on my results. I will not post them untill I am sure which class is correct. I will try to see Jason or Brian at the lapping day.

All good man! I'm just going by the email that Ontario sent me. But this is for all 3 days I was classes as a gt3. And my car was wrong. Ha. Can't wait to see where I actually stand.

Still with a 1:32.278 I believe. A 1:32.5xx in the wet.
