Ultra4 Inspired races in Australia
Well, lets make this official. We are bound to see more events sooner rather then later happen in Oz that mimmick the USA's Ultra4 series.
This is a little thread to have your say in what you think will work and what you think needs to be changed to suit Oz.
So that everyone can stop guessing and start preparing; Rockracing4x4 has collaborated with a few others and we are close to announcing an event that will draw up to 60 competitors vehicles and over 500 spectators (as a minimum) for the first series (capped so that we can run it effectively).
We won't make an official announcement for another month or two - the organizing committee will commit to insurance, rules, class classifications and dates as soon as all our ducks line up, but................
..............Get FREAKIN' EXCITED!!! We drove the proposed course today and it's like NOTHING we have seen in OZ before!!
There looks to be three classes; Stock, Modified and Buggy. A quick break down of these classes are:
Stock = street rego'd with minimum safety requirements
Mod = Tuff truck or Winch Challenge style vehicles
Buggy = Pure bread, tube frame beasts along the lines of Ben Napier's Bomber Fab rig or Matt Dunk's LS powered rig.
If you want to run fast, for prolonged periods of time - not having to be told which lines to take, this is the comp for you!!!
Safety will be a big part of this event and we will be introducing regulations that we as 4wders aren't used to. To cover this, you will get at least 6 months notice on vehicle requirements - if not more.
Once the event is officially announced, there will more then likely be NO FURTHER public discussion of the rules or track layout (we will have pre-run days) as to not get into a E-bully slander of how it is going to be run. Never fear though, the organizing committee has event experience and has been watching all the online talk about these events in Oz lately. We know what is needed and we also know what is a load of B/S.
We expect a few comps to pop up before we have a chance to run ours, be assured though, we are going to have this thing dialed in well before we run it, and you, the competitor, will FREAKIN' love it!!
The Course is approx 11.5km long with alot of right foot flat out sections where Driver/Navi will need to plan out there attack on the course prior to racing.
There is sections where you can take mutiple lines to get through a section of the course and vehicles can pass by making quick decissions and taking a different line if someone is held up.
There is going to be alot of areas where you can pass without warning and bumping(which i believe will be allowed).
The first night will be side by side racing under lights to determine the starting order for the big race.
Rumour has it that the first event will have some awesome side by side 4wd racing with bridge cross overs and great flat out areas that competitors can keep even an ultra 4 buggy on the limiter in High. But this might just be a rumour
