I love road racing. I’d much rather race on a road course. It’s not as intense as the short burst on a drag strip and or as predictable as an oval course. It challenges all of your driving skills, shifting, braking, acceleration and cornering.
Watching on T.V. I rather enjoy a good road race. I was lucky enough to live in Riverside, Ca. when Riverside Raceway was still running and I attended one of the last road races there. It was great.
But what about those classes? I’ve learned a bit more since racing SCCA, but still I’m not 100%. So let’s start with a the GT Class.
These are limited in body style to coupe, sedan and convertible. They have to be models that are sold in the real world market as a sports car, sport touring cars for performance version off luxury cars. Those are cars like:
Audi R8
My Fav the C6 Corvette
C6R
DB9
Forced induction is allowed, if the car came that way in production. SCCA has a provision to allow better competition for car to add forced induction so help meet the horse power range.
The horsepower range is 425 (15 over stock base model C6) to 525. Your car has to be rear real or all wheel drive. Weight a varied depending on wheel/tire size but average 2900 – 3800 lbs.
Coming up next is the GTS, TC and TCB.
Done any racing – oval, strip, road?
