More information on the 2009 BBR Le Mans Cup with some of the rule updates.
Now that we have the first series under our belts, we feel that there needs to be some very slight power changes for the series to better segregate the two classes and therefore better highlight the two classes. There has been a lot of discussion surrounding what the formula will be for next years series but as it stands right now it looks like the only changes will be to the GT class for next year. It was a consensus that for next year, the GT class would strictly follow the emerging World GT rules:
1. 200 mm chassis only
2. GT, production based bodies
3. 13.5 motor
4. 4 cell nimh batteries
This rule change will bring in other racers who are getting into the exciting new World GT class, into our BBR LeMans Cup series.
The prototype, GTP, Group C, Can Am class rules will more than likely be very close to this years rules but could change after some testing with some now power train combinations:
1. 200mm or 235mm chassis only
2. Prototype, GTP, Group C or Can Am style bodies
3. 13.5 motors with 7.4v lipos
4. 10.5 motors with 4 cell nimh batteries.
The other change we will be testing during the off season is a spec tire rule. Either the new CRC World GT spec tire or the Jaco World GT spec tire. Final decision will be made after testing.
Again, just like this year, there will be 1st through 3rd for both classes. We are also talking about a third class but I will wait until the details are worked out before announcing that class.
I think that eventually, as the World GT class grows and the ability to get 235mm kits or chassis become harder to find, this series will evolve into an only World GT class but we shall see.
Stay tuned for more information on the 2009 BBR Le Mans Cup Series as it develops!!

Crashby - Now I'm wishing I lived in your area!!!
When you get your series set up for next season, maybe I can work in a "Business Trip" for the right weekend / location.
On the 235 Cars, there are several NEW options out there:
Corally has its new car, CRC can run 235 as well as the Darkside I-Fource. Your rules are similar to our's for pavement, but we run with 10.5's and lipo or 6 cells. I think a combined heat is way cool, and would love to give it a try.
So keep the info coming!

I was looking at the 10R5 and it would be easy for someone PRC could come up with a new front plate to make it a wide car and IRS with a new Hub.
So i do not think 235 is dead but would love to see both grow. If fun to see the diffent cars on the track.

I dont think its dead either...people are finding 200mm easier and more readily available these days so youre going to see that class continue to grow. 235mm will be largely taken up with pre-existing chassis (Many of which can be found on EBAY these days) but it wont get back to the levels it was at in the 90s. I have a Pantoura nowadays and cant wait to get into WGT full bore

Tallyrc,
I too am trying to widen a 10L3T for the World GT class and I'd love to hear how you've gone about doing it (I'm really new to pan cars
). Any chance you could either post or PM me what you've done to get it to 200mm?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Mike
