Great stuff! Very impressed there were no breakages, full credit to all on the car prep. Epic trip I'm sure, hope to hear all the little stories in due course...

Question is whether it would be competitive. It should fit the criteria.

Graeme. You did more than fine as it is! But another 800-1000 rpm at redline and 30+ bhp would probably put you at the pointy end of our field given your speed through the corners.

The crazy thing is Graeme you can probably get all that done for not much more than a 911!gearbox rebuild!

I'm very intrigued by the lotus Elise. Gary from hawkes bay a Brit who also owned that high mileage c2s in Vesuvius was cutting laps within a few seconds of a good 911 times. That was with a series 1 car making 180 bhp no mods other than tyres pads and fluid !

Looking at the times the 2k cup cars are doing, I don't think it would be unfortunately.

Great catching up mate. Your 993 looks mint. Blue Betty is a bit dirty. Still has orange pipes. Mmmm

924 what HP? I haven't done any research but I reckon maybe need light weight under 1000kg and minimum 150hp to be competitive??

I sense a bit of research to be conducted by Macca on some light weight vehicles. This will be interesting. I was keen on a supercharged s1 or s2 elise at one time and drove a K20A Honda powered and supercharged one - got quite keen but didn't buy it in the end

They are 18 cup twists but I will let Jamie tell you about the tyres - really interesting road rubber with a cool and unique tread block design...

You aren't wrong mate. A circa 700 kg S1 with 240 bhp would surely be the ticket?

I think they are 125hp and 1,080kg. Looks like 1m25s at HD is competitive. Not sure what a 924 could do but at least it was designed by Porsche to handle. That might make a difference.

I've come close to owning either an Elise and an Exige but decided to be more practical? and went for the 997 in the end. Still want one. Love the look of the S1 and S2, and the idea of owning one. Would probably go S2 Toyota or along the Honda mod track.

It's not on the list but fits the criteria. It won't be per approved because no one would have asked the question yet. I'll PM some thoughts.
