What we are proposing to do this year is have time penalties on a team depending on modifications. For instance, All teams will have 28 mins to do all 4 stages. Rear steer -4 mins, Coilovers Fr/Rear -3 mins, Hydraulic Suspension -2 min, 42" Tyres -2 mins, 40" Tyres -1 min etc. We will work out a full range. This would mean Team OPW would only have 17 mins to complete all 4 stages ( the 2 cars). Last year his team took 20.5 mins.

The more standard teams will have all thier 28 mins, time to rock pack, squeeze into tricky bonus garages etc.

What do you all think of this system?
Sounds Excellent :cool:
Everyone gets to play and to keep it interesting everyyone has a chance of winning :armsup:
Sounds Great... But I have a few questions..
If you have rear steer but do not want to use it, what happens with the time penalty?
If Hydro Suspension is not used, eg, locked out so I can not use it! again, what would happen with the time penalty?
Not my call but imo
if you don't use it at all over the whole weekend, not a stage by stage decision,and declare it before hand.
You should not get time penalties.
similar to removing fuses from lockers to compete in standard.

Im up for that! Have begun work on some hydraulic legs like spider legs that come out from under the hilux and carry it over the big rocks and logs.

I dont see anything in the rules that prohibits that :rofl: :rofl:

I might hook the strap to the front of the fridge at the start of the track this year :lol:

You've got big shoes to fill gettin best drive! What, you thinks it's that easy to drive the stages flawlessly, these things take experience, superb driving technic and a superior machine. Good luck if you think it just falls in your lap!!!
if it has tit's, wheels or a motor you better have money
