Awwwww yeah, sign me up. :nod::lol:

Cadillac Cien? ;)

I expect that it's the ATS-V that is running in the Pirelli World Challenge Series.

Nice looking!

Cadillac ATS Part #1543-30....190mm mid June release per FB post from LHS

190mm PPPPppppplease do not do what they did with the PF10....ugh Maybe they still had the CTS mold and could rework it to make the newer ATS???

This is a TC body is it not?

No it wouldn't be a ROAR legal TC body so it would be USGT legal. I went on the PF mag forum and recommended PF releasing a updated version of this Cadillac. Do you know where to purchase one of these older PF touring car bodies.

Just cut the wing down to USGT legal height.

Don't worry. This one measures in at 194mm. (True 190mm width).

Looking forward to it!

OK, you have to admit, the new Ferrari F80 is wicked cool. I'm just not sure how to make this body out of Lexan!

so hpi has their "clear race bodies" they look like sedans, but are not on the t2 roa list.... does that make them legal??

check the posting date of the article... June 19 2004....

Yes the HPI bodies are legal.

This new body from Tamiya is as well.

It'd be really cool if someone raced that in USGT with a FWD chassis.

:batman:

Ummmm.....this is not USGT legal...

This is a LeMans P1 style body....which is clearly not allowed in the rules.

It's a pan car body anyways (with rubber tires F103GT style).

It's not all that clear, IMHO... Daytona prototypes are okay, so bodies with some form of "aggressive design" are acceptable. Clearly out are the 1/12 and 1/8 bodies with integrated wings:

These have the "scale looks be damned" wedge shape. From my reading of this, the fate of a slightly more scale-looking, but also integrated wing body, would also be disallowed (a Porsche 962, as it happens):

But how about a Porsche 962 with a split wing? How is that much different from a Daytona Prototype?

http://www.mrt-rcshop.de/WebRoot/Sto...MX78224_gr.jpg

That said, good luck fitting that on a touring car! :)

Shameless plug: the rules for the BRCA GT10 class (the British version of WGT) mainly forbids integrated wings, so that last one could be legal, as would the Nismo. ;)

What???

The rule states...."Can AM or IMSA style bodies, similar to 1/12 or 1/8 bodies using an integrated wing are illegalEX: Porsche 962 style bodies or LeMans P1. "

Its clearly stated everything that you just showed here is illegal...and it even points out LeMans P1. I fail to see how there is any confusion with this the way its written right now.

WOW....this looks good!!!

http://www.redrc.net/2015/06/protofo...ll/#more-97625

That last one hasn't got an integrated wing. Now, does the rule mean "Le Mans P1 that have an integrated wing"? Or "Le Mans P1 or anything with an integrated wing"?

So this is okay:

But this is not okay:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...orsche962C.jpg

They're... kind of similar, no?

rules say :
integrated wings are illegal, then it gives an EXAMPLE of a body with an integrated wing, Lemans P1

they don't just state flat out lemans P1 bodies are illegal

I read it that Lemans P1 bodies WITH integrated wings are illegal

OH JEEBUS! :eek::eek::eek::nod::nod::nod: YES!

McAllister Street Rod or Protoform ATX... Guess I gotta beat the heck out of my HPI 911 to justify a new body!!!!! Or two!

Indeed. There's a fine line between LMP1 and P2, but here in the U.S., the Daytona Prototypes got mixed in with the P2 cars when the Grand Am series merged with the ALMS to form USCC, er, TUSCC.

BTW, I suppose the TUSCC could retain its name if Tissot became the primary series sponsor over Tudor. Or TAG Heuer. Or even Timex. :ha: But would they change to RUSCC if Rolex took it? :weird:

That was exactly my own reading of it, as well, but since others disagreed, I was also inclined to think that it could be clearer. ;)

By that reading, a Porsche 962 with a separate wing could be legal. Again, good luck fitting it to your touring car, though, which probably settles the issue. :lol:

Protoform
http://racepf.com/touring-car-190mm/....r-clear-body/

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Cadillac, myself, but damn, this looks very good!

Personally, I'd be in favour of USGT sticking to GT1/2/3, and staying out of LMP1/2, and even DP, leaving the prototypes for the pan cars. The pan cars both fit those bodies better (no pesky shock towers in the way), and also better represents the all-out racing attitude (as in, they properly leave the touring cars in their dust). ;)

But body styles are rather difficult to make rules for, the split wing is one way of avoiding the worst, but doesn't cover the DP (and many LMP) bodies...

I would like to renew my usgt/usvta driver series membership so I can retain the same number. I am currently overseas but don't want to miss out on next years series.

Thanks

I love this new PF USGT body.

I never understood why Daytona styles were ever allowed, they just look goofy amongst sedans on the track. Id rather see a truck or van body rolling around the track than a Wildcat or GTP.

In the end I don't care all that much (still like the aero of the Celica), just making conversation.

I hate it when they confuse spoiler with wing. The protoform bodies have spoilers. A wing stands above the body. Always has, always will.

Your Number is always your number it will never change. If you miss a year(s) and sign back up it will be with your original number.

We're finally starting a USGT class, here's my new toy:

where do you sign up?

And when does the season start??:D:D:D

Sign up here....

https://sites.google.com/site/nationalusvtapoints/

The year long season runs from August 1st to July 31st. We are coming down to the final month and a half and the standings are tight in USGT.

https://sites.google.com/site/nationalusvtapoints/why


FYI...when you sign up you sign up for that year...so if you sign up now it will only be from now until July 31st. You would need to sign up for the following year after Aug 1st.

Thanks, I'll be signing up in August... :D:D

Congrats to Chris Vogan who moved to the top of the USGT national points chase. Chris is a regular at The Gate and has proven to be one of the guys to beat in a very competitive USGT class.

nope its this class where you can race anything but a rwd car....

Whats also awesome is that the top 4 are separated by 8 points but only 2 of them have raced each other once that I can tell. They are spread out from PA or OH, IN, IL and GA. Its cool to see people from all over the country be able to battle it out....we have guys from CA, IN, IL, WI, GA, OH and PA in the top ten. With some good results in the last few weeks anyone can take the lead....:tire::tire::tire::tire:
