The race series I'm hoping to enter by the end of the year has a class system determined by power (at the wheels) to weight.

Class B = 150-175bhp/ton
Class C = 125-150bhp/ton
Class D = 100-125bhp/ton

There is an original '93 Clio Cup car running in class C, I spoke to the owner today at the first race of the season at Snett.

I'm just doing some research, can someone tell me what power these cars ran originally? Northy? Hes currently at the top of class C, 150bhp/ton, told me he is 980kgs wet w/driver, so must be running about 184bhp (using 20% losses) -> 184*0.8/0.98=150.

I think he spun off somewhere and dnf.

Actually I remember reading a big post about your car Northy so I'll check in there.

After we moved away from the side pipes the Cup cars were around 145 150 bhp, depending on the dyno used and who you believed.

By the sounds of it I'd assume he's running a lairy cammed up f7r with headwork
