The Bathurst Motor Festival is on again in 2016 and Porsche Club NSW have been invited to run a Regularity category once again. The event will be held over 3 days during the Easter weekend in 2016, the dates being Friday March 25th through to Sunday March 27th.
And we would love to welcome some more of our interstate friends to join us again this year for an opportunity to experience one of the worlds great circuits.
Please feel free to forward this email onto your members. Places are limited as we have offered slots to the 2015 participants first and the take-up was high.
Other states have received this email simultaneously, so time is of the essence.
General Entries are open from 1st August.
Our Category Our Category will be run as an exclusively Porsche Marque Regularity event just like in 2015, and will be run under a CAMS licence and in accordance with the CAMS Regulations for Modern Regularity. We will also be imposing some of our own additional regulations for the safe running of the category. For example, we will require that competitors have reasonable experience on a race track in order to compete – a minimum of 3 CAMS Sanctioned Supersprint days in the past 2 years. Under specific CAMS regulations for the Mt Panorama Circuit, there is currently a minimum lap time (fastest accepted) of no faster than 2:37. This time limit is outside our control and is enforced by the organisers, so take it into consideration when making your decision to enter. From experience, a well driven road going GT3 on slicks is likely to go under this time, and a GT3 Cup car is almost certain to go under the time. The CAMS guidelines also stipulate that the slowest car should be no more than 130% of the fastest nominated time - which means 3:28 is the slowest any car can run. It's pretty clear that in the interests of safety, we do not want gross variations in the potential speeds and lap times. Use the 2014 and 2015 event times published on www.natsoft.com.au as a guideline for your car type. Our Category will be open to members of all Porsche Clubs in Australia - we will however be monitoring entries to ensure that they are fairly distributed across the clubs. We are intending to have each state compete for an interclub trophy at the event.
Participants from the 2014 event have already received an advance opportunity to register - however we have now opened up the remaining slots to anyone in an Australian Porsche Club.
For those who are not members of PCNSW:
Some of the fields asked may seem redundant - this is because the system pre-fills some fields from member records. Since many of you are not members of PCNSW, we need you to enter the details in full.
Enter your car details in "Car 1" field (you don't need to say Porsche - we already know that bit)
Leave Car details for 2 thru 4 empty
Nominate Car 1 as the one being used for this event.
