It's the new craze in Japan after drifting, so am not surprised they are trying to set it up here!!

Should be very good fun.

So anyone from IMOC thinking of taking part?

[tonigmr2]

I'd love to....when it's finished.....

An IMOC entry would be good.

Yeah I heared that too. Its the next big thing apparently. Would be good to watch some blistering laps on our UK circuits. Also if there's an IMOC team we have someone to cheer on!! =D>

[tonigmr2]

OK if anyone is interested I'm happy to do some co-ordinating (providing you aren't already M?)

Subject to costs and dates etc, I'd be happy to bring an n/a race car.

...unless I wouldn't be allowed in anything but the tuner class?

[tonigmr2]

We could find that out I guess!

Just wondering how this wont just be another tuner show case where they battle it out to prove who is best? Organisers just make a wedge from the resulting DVD, entry, advertising etc?

[Goldy]

Looks totally awesome, though I think you'd need something special to stand a chance in that, having looked at the line up of cars. 1000bhp supra, 800bhp evo, 206 WRC car!!!

[leewaring]

There will be different catagories. I think it will eventually be like the Tskuba Challange they hold in Japan each year which has loads of catagories for difference types of car dependant on drivetrain, make, model, engine type, street legal etc etc...

[tonigmr2]

Exactly, it won't be comparing a 1000bhp skyline with an NA MR2 It will be comparing like with like, e.g. 2 litre NA engine vs same I should think.

I could well be up for this once the new engine is finished

Think alot of the rules for the car regs are beyond your average Joe. So another tuner show down then

[Sidewinder]

I really like the idea behind this, but the financial side of things will probably put many people off; which may be done purposely to oust the McDonalds carpark crew and to get some more interesting cars on the circuits.

Spectating would be interesting, though.

As far as I can see its the usuall stuff except there's no restrictions on engine or handling moddifications.

As far as the cost is concerned... well all competative motorsport is expensive, so this will be too! If you have the coin then get in the race!
