Hey Pete, two questions...

1) Summit Point. Where do you live? What shop do you go to? I hope you frequent the track, as I'd love to meet you sometime, talk shop, and see the car in it's natural environment :)

2) It said you hit 145 right before turn one... at 6200rpm in 5th. Was your car regeared? In a standard 951 tranny, 6200rpm is almost 20mph higher.

The Turbo Cup cars have a lower 5th gear .

Well, I hope to see you around sometime. I was just going to post that I found the lower 5th gear ratio fact... beat me to it:)

Because you're a Rennlister, and because I lust after your Cup car, and maybe even because I just searched the boards to get 7 of your videos to watch... I can scan it and send it over to you. If you have a high speed connection and a large email account, I can send them high quality, or otherwise lower quality.

Asarus... you're a lucky man. Do you happen to have the official number of Cups made?

EDIT... after a recount (hanging chads DID repeat in '04!) I have 9 clips of yours ;)

It's pretty hard to know the exact numbers of Cups made.. as many sources are differents..

But according to several "good" sources, it should be approximatively the following numbers. If not exact, it may be pretty close from the truth i think...

* 1986 (Turbo Cup 220 bhp)
RoW 43 (chassis numbers not specifics)

* 1987
RoW 88
Canada 11

* 1988
RoW 35
Canada 38

* 1989
RoW 25 (chassis numbers not specifics)

This car is really interesting, it was one of the factory car for the French Trophy. I've seen GeorgeK and his car a few months ago and can tell you it's a good car with a lot of great value spare parts ! ;)

I need a sound clip of a 4" exhaust!!! If anyone could post one I would greatly appreciate it.

FSAEracer03 11-07-2004 08:28 PM

I'm with chris, I'm dying to hear this. I'd also love to see a video. In-car with boost gauge, out of car on the track, whatever. I just want to see it in action :)

Seb, what exhaust do you have your car?

Peckster 11-07-2004 10:10 PM

Are all the Rothmans cars Canadian, or did they run that series in the US too? Did they sell Rothmans ciggies in the U.S.?

porshhhh951 11-07-2004 10:16 PM

someone please post video clips in this thread. I am a video freak.....I need to see and hear this.

Peckster
The series was only in Canada in North America.
I believe there was one in South Africa and I believe one in Germany ?
I guess there was one in France ?
regards
Ed
PS I had bought a # of parts from Canada when the series ended
