M_C Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The Fiat Club Waikato Tarmac Series is on again for 2013. My car was not ready last year, but SUPER KEEN for this year. How keen you say? So keen I just entered and paid for the 5 race series! Should be some great action. Nice variety in courses. I like the up to 170kph comment for the bent sprint… Videos look great.

M_C Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Detail of event and links to forms copied from another site: (Campbell was happy for detail to be posted up.) Rob's asked me to let you guys know about the fiat tarmac series as it's setup perfectly for beginners to motorsport. The series is setup that the best 4 out of 5 rounds count towards your final score. Everyone’s scores are based off the winners score with the formula of points = fastest time divided by competitors time * 100 – You can use this formula and run your own fastfrogs competition within the series, the guys in the mini’s do the same thing.The series runs on the second Sunday of every month from the 9th of June with the Motorkhana until the Hillclimb in October. The series order is:1) Motorkhana - Hampton Downs Skid Pan - This is a low speed event where you typically will not get out of first gear. There is typical 4 courses (Slalom run, Cloverleaf, Christmas Tree, etc...) which you will get 2 timed runs at.2) Autocrosse - Hampton Downs Skid Pan – This is a mid-speed event where you will get into second gear. It’s basically a go-kart track on the skid pan. You will typically get 1 practice run and 3 timed runs.3) Bent Sprint - Hiwi Road – This is this first of the high speeds runs where speeds of 170kph+ are very possible. You will get 1 practice and 3 timed runs on the road.4) Dual Car Sprint - Hampton Downs – This is an introduction to circuit racing where you will line up on a grid of 6 – 10 cars and paired cars will leave at set intervals. Its designed to get you use to racing with other cars on the race. It’s the best timed lap that counts not if you beat your paired race partner. You typically will get paired with a car with a similar lap time.5) Hillclimb Event - Sainsbury Road – This is the last of the events and typically this is when the championship is decided.The links to the entry forms and regulations are here:Motorkhana Entry Form 13.docx: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0zvE59PHQc_Wk1xdzVpUXVIcE0/edit?usp=sharingMotorkhana Entry Form 13.pdf: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0zvE59PHQc_eXdHT2laY3g4OVU/edit?usp=sharingMotorkhana Regs 13.pdf: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0zvE59PHQc_NUhYdThTNnE2M2s/edit?usp=sharingSeries Entry Form 13.docx: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0zvE59PHQc_YldDRzkyQW16Z3M/edit?usp=sharingSeries Entry Form 13.pdf: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0zvE59PHQc_TFNjbmtwVW50TG8/edit?usp=sharingTarmac Series Articles 13.pdf: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0zvE59PHQc_ci1FTWxHV2FGNnc/edit?usp=sharingTarmac Series Supp Regs 13.pdf: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0zvE59PHQc_di1XVHVidV9GdkU/edit?usp=sharingBelow is the minimum safety requirements for the events:https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0zvE59PHQc_cEltaGQxNUJybkk/edit?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdvl Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 This is a fantastic series for people looking to enter start motorsports! I've done it for the last 3 or so years and loved it. - Sainsbury Road - - Hiwi Road - - Autocross - - Dual Car - - I was going to play camera car for Simon in the Clio for a bit but he pulled over to let me past... excuses like old tyres, boiled brake fuild, fuel surge, and was on 3 wheels every corner can come into play... ohhh part of the camera shake is from 4 flat spotted tyres... lost it into turn 1 on the practice run (1st flying lap) and slid for about 60m sideways...

Truenotch Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Does this mean you've had your cage fixed m_c? Could be kee for a round or two in the 86. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_C Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Does this mean you've had your cage fixed m_c? Cage will be fixed with angle grinder and recip saw in a couple weeks... Sorted my belts so they are not off the cage. Now to pull the cage out, get log book and clubsport complied. Then have fun spanking her in the Tarmac series. Then/during work on the details for WOF and Cert, then maybe proper cage back in? Could be keen for a round or two in the 86. Excellent!

JoKer Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Does the Fiat club have a proper website/Facebook? feels weird referring people to this thread for the forms and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_C Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Does the Fiat club have a proper website/Facebook? feels weird referring people to this thread for the forms and such http://www.fiatcarclub.co.nz/ I don't think it has been updated with this event yet as it has just been announced. I'll ask them when it will be updated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdvl Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Facebook = http://www.facebook.com/groups/299544302050/ Website = http://fiatcarclub.co.nz/category/events/ The website isn't all that up to date. Their facebook site is more up to date, but i got all the forms and information via email as i've done it before and i'm on their email list. They will typically put the entry forms up on the website/facebook, but i think they are emailed out earlier... I'll put the forms for each event up as i receive them... If anyone has any questions let me know, if i can't answer them I'll ask Campbell who is the series organizer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
