Pirelli Diablo 600 Challenge - The Skinny

[Greeny]

as an amateur, i would definitely consider running that race for the experience :D  as long as there's a max. qualifying limit, i don't see the problem and it'll help fill the grids...

It's an expert only race

Gotcha

[ahastings]

that sounds like  a good idea to make the grids bigger therefore the purses bigger since it isnt a points paying class and is gridded by qualifying anyway. as long as there is a cutoff percentage

[tstruyk]

thats a sound idea... when would qualifying be held?  day before?  day of?  is there time in either schedule?

   So say the slowest is running average of a 1:20 & the fastest is a 1:10. 10 second separation. 12 lap race? 1:20 seconds. So basically it might turn into a shortened Expert GTU race.

Minor correction to Jason's post.  10 second differential per lap x 12 laps equals 120 seconds ( 2 minutes) not 1 minute and 20 seconds.  40 second difference gets more of the lappers lapping more of the lappees.

Trouble maker.

Can't you find anything better to do than lurk the CCS board looking for poor inocent racers to pummel.

Meters, feet.....  it's all the same!   

I have not yet begun to pummel!

Ooopppsss.... My bad!

Well I think we are seeing some good feedback to running amatuers also with a cutoff time. After realistically thinking about it I'm thinking more on the lines of 112%?

It's up to Pirelli to decide that not CCS. Its Pirelli's class so its their decision. Time to let Pirelli know if your interested in running this class also if we can make a change in it before its too late.

i'd think even 110% or less is reasonable - then it would basically take 10 laps for the leaders to catch the back markers.  this would put the cutoff at around 1:17, and according to the sept 25-27 MW SS results, this is a number that about half the amateurs and every expert would be able to hit.
