A WGT (presumably on foam tires) against 21.5T touring cars with treaded tires? Doesn't sound very fair to me!
I think that if I run this, I'll have two transparent spots above the front tires very soon...
I just picked up the Corvette Daytona Prototype, and I gotta say, that one is AMAZING. No such clearance problem, and it looks stunning, even without the wing and decals. I might run it, but I'll wait for a club night that my mate who painted it isn't going to be there... so he doesn't have a heart attack!
Pictures coming soon!

Our CTA (Canadian Trans Am) is a 21.5T treaded tire class.. Its more about the fun of running a zany mixed "run what cha brung class"

No, the Mon-Tech M10 is going on the Xray X10 (WGT), it's far too low for the T4. I'd like to get a Team Muso LM-P Type 1 as well...

Ha! As I mentioned, my mate who painted it might have a heart attack.
Argh, getting back to GT10/WGT again! I'll put the wing on this McAllister Corvette DP, get it on my T4, and post some pictures ASAP!

Oh, and I'm guessing you might not be running as hot a motor as we are here (the WGT equivalent class is called GT10, and runs 10.5T boosted, on 1S batteries), so it might not be as radically faster... A GT10 here can easily keep up with a 13.5T boosted touring car (with the Mazda shells and real racing tires)!
Ha, Understandable
Here, they used to be very similar rules to WGT, but they recently opened up the list of body shells a bit, specifically to attract more people (both racers and spectators) to the class. They added the Mon-Tech M10, the Team Muso LM-P Type 1, and the Rivall LMP1 version 2014 (I've never laid eyes on this one, not even in pictures!). I'm hoping the Colt 911 GT1 and maybe the Blade Porsche 962 could get added soon...

Also excited to see what you do with the Mon-Tech!About the Colt 911 GT1, I hope it looks better painted than it does clear
Mind you the Merc CLK sort of gave me the similar feeling.

Lots of bang (speed!) for the buck, those.
Now, to put on some of these Martini decals...
The ones I saw painted came out very nice. I wasn't so sure about this Corvette DP, but wow! The phone pictures (and the tall stove-pipe body posts!) don't do it justice all that well, in person it's amazing.

Hey Pierre-
I've always liked the Gulf colors you put on the Riley, but the Martini scheme on the Corvette DP is very cool. Finish it up with the decals an trim the posts and let us see it. Wish you would have used our head light decals though....LOL

Here in Ontario VTA or CVTA as we call it sometimes, is 1450g, 21.5 blinky, hpi vintage treaded tires.
I think the Canadian Nationals in Welland this weekend are going to be on Live RC for those who are interested. It's run in a mall courtyard so it can bring exposure to the public. I went last year and it was awesome.
Back to the USGT.... man some of you guys have some sharp looking bodies!! I'm going to be picking up the new PF-10 shortly. From the first time I saw the PF-12 I was hoping to see a tenth scale release so I'm pretty excited by it. I'd also like to try the Lexus LFA too.

With the tires trued down a bit, they just seem to grip forever, massive cornering speed! After a few races, once you've worked out the set-up a bit better, you might start getting some requests to switch to a 13.5T or a 17.5T...
Lots of bang (speed!) for the buck, those.

I agree, the car handles really fast, responsive and like lighting. Just think turn and it's already done it! Now if only we can expand the legal body selection past 3 models. 
I'll be at least a few weeks before I have time to work on the Mon-Tech, but here's some quick phone pictures of the McAllister Racing Corvette Daytona Prototype:

Great to know, I'll try fitting one to my 6.1, Thanks!

I'll use the head light decals on the ones I'll use for racing (quicker than painting them in, for sure!), but I'd feel pretty bad covering up my mate's nicely done hand-made ones!

Tech Fanatic
Damn.....now I want a wgt car and a montech m10 body. Grrrrr.
I ran usgt last sunday (PF LFA body), and then switched the car over to 21.5 CTA setup on tuesday night and ran it at practice on wednesday. Same lap times. The ride usgt tires have less grip but are easier to drive on. They are much more progressive on breakaway. The two classes are comparable to the point that we run them on the track at the same time in our club.
Edit: that Ginassi Riley is hot! I have been struggling to come up with a paint scheme for my Sweep STC-6 body. I might have to take some styling ideas from that Riley.

That's good to know Dennis! Its going to be a fun class to run. I started tear down of my CTA car this week, to convert to USGT. Somehow it's all apart on my bench now. I've taken it farther than I intended
Yeah, I was thinking of painting a PFM-10 like this.
