Default 2013 NASA Norcal GTS4 champion!!!!!

http://nasanorcal.com/points/2013/2013seasonpoints.htm

Its official.......I am the 2013 GTS4 NASA Norcal champion!!!! Sure its a lightly attended class, but it is the class my 928 racer falls into... I am hoping to win again in 2014!!!! The car should be faster (working on aero) and I will atttend more races..... Competition should be better with Sean also racing a few events (but I can beat him) and my friend with Audi also racing more... The 911 that beat me once is quite fast, about 3 seconds per lap faster so I will have to up my game to beat him on a straight up basis...

I am trying to convince Kibort to run GTS5, where his stroker falls....we would race at the same time in Group C....granted chasing him around doesn't sound like fun with my brute 4.5L vs 6.4L.... Or I could always attend a couple SCCA events and run with him in American Super V8 series and get crushed by the big $$$$ guys...

Wow, that's awesome!!!!

I only crewed for cars in ST2 so I never really paid attention to the German Touring classes.
What plops your car into GTS4?
Is that were a "stock" 16V would fall?
Is it just power to weight?
Did any of your modifications asses any points?

Nice job Brian! Really hope to see you on the track with the PacNW crew this upcoming season.

So where's the hardware? No plaque or trophy?

GTS is pretty much wide open for mods....pure power-weight and adjustment factor if you run slicks vs DOT's....for example my car is 2830 off track....my engine is 265whp-289ftlb, the rules state cars with more torque than HP add both together and divide by 2...so my power factor is 277 or 10.21 GTS4 is 8.5-1 on DOT or 9-1 on slicks...so I can gain more power or loose a bunch more weight....

GTS3 is 11-1 on DOT, I'm close but that class is EXTREMELY competitive locally (think NASA National Champion) & I can't compete with those guys who use a set of fresh Hoosiers A6 per weekend and have the best of everything...aero...data logging..shocks..etc

I think an early CIS USA 928 could be maybe 220whp-230 torque or a power factor of about 12.5....so still GTS3....need 14.5 for GTS2.....possible with turned down engine....
