2018 NSW Supersprint Championship

Latest advice is that the numbers stand in the 180s, so places are still available. If interested, just go to the links in the first post here and skip the EoI, it seems to be redundant at this point.

The MX5 Club is well represented with 40+, so it might be another good year for us if we can convert those registrations into regular point-scorers.

Round 1 entries opened today.
Garages and carports are now first come, first served .......................
Gate open 6am !!
I'm ok to be there then to grab a garage. Only 40 minute drive for me.
Anybody else ?

Don't take too long! The 230 places fill pretty fast (see above),

You're right, too much procrastinating going on. Entry submitted

Road tyres includes semis (R-specs), but not the NT01. There is a road tyre list, and most semis are on it, but last year the Nitto was ruled out.

I'm hoping to go with Yoko A050 if funds allow. The slicks she's on now will probably be end of life by then.

Ummm, sorry to break the news, but 2B classes are under and over 4 litres, and the 4.0 911s ruled the roost last year

Ahh, the old "How fa$t do you want to go!" I can't compete there but I'm only in it for fun

Slicks take too long to warm up for supersprints so most find r-specs are better suited. A050 has the reputation but some say Hankook Ventus TD are equivalent at 3/5 the cost and seem to wear well. Some say Nankang AR-1 are 'stickier' than A050 and certainly warm up quickly. They are 2/5 the price but appear to wear quickly so the cost/lap may be no better than the Yokos.


2F prodsports is difficult to comply. I'm 2B prodsports as I have 2488cc so class 5C. I'm not expecting class wins, there for fun and to improve my driving and if I can help with the club effort so much the better.

Add at least an hour to that for me though I sometimes stay at EC night before.
I'm happy with a carport.
Entry in and paid ($292.23).

I haven't dríven on the GP circuit yet, several times in 2017 on North and South and one SS on the extended (Druitt).
Doing a twilight on the GP on 23rd January and another on 7th February so should be familiar with the GP circuit by 3rd March.

I'm down to 1:11.25 around Wakefield any predictions for the GP circuit based on that?

I reckon entry fees for the Supersprint Series are becoming prohibitive for just a handful of 4 or 5 lap sessions; especially when I add to that the time and cost involved in a five hour return trip to Eastern Creek.

Being currently unemployed / sort of semi-retired, I'll have to look around for other more cost effective motorsport options for 2018. I'll be keen to see what the entry fees are for the MX5 Cup this year!

If my times are anything to go by, 1:52 or better.

YeaH - DO THE CUP
Costs about the same as a supersprint and twice the value IMO.

Places are still available for people wishing to logbook road-registered cars on Saturday 27th January 2018 at SMSP in the Amaroo (South) Circuit scrutineering shed. There are 18 cars so far which means time slots from 8:00am to 12:30pm with 2 cars being inspected every half hour. If there are any more bookings the closing time will extend accordingly.

The booking deadline is next Saturday 13th so if you are interested, register now.
