Leading on from the fastest car on the zone thread, How about we set up a little challenge to find the fastest car at the pod this september?
I was thinking we could have a few categories:
A, 316/318/318IS/320
B, 325/327
C, Forced induction and engine swap
D, Overall fastest
Each winner will be given a trophy of some description (Probably a perspex plaque for the garage wall?)
What do we think?

Sounds like an excellent idea. We need more 'Zone' events. Help build the community spirit and all that.
Shame I never seem to have a car or money every time one comes up! lol.

Great idea, I won't be able to enter though my car will be in bits and off the road by then
But it would be awesome to be a yearly event!

What about M3s?

It may be easier to use the categories that the Ultimate BMW Show already have. That way the results are categorised, ordered and posted on the web with no further effort from anyone on here?
From memory they are:
4 cylinder
6 cylinder
8 cylinder
Cars on slick tyres
If anything I propose we have a seperate category for 'Fastest Tourer'

Why seperate them? I didn't see a charged E30 post a quick time at last year's event....
...and as for that other thread - Bootyman, I'll happily challenge your '500BHP+' car in my naturally aspirated, no N20 estate car.

thing is you start getting to the point of having a 318i class, 316i class, 318iS class.. etc etcoakey wrote:Great idea! I think d9dph's categories in the first post are the most fair.
A 6cyl class is slightly unfair as a m50 powered e30 is gonna wooop a 325i! as with 4cyl a s14 will woop an m40
Mr Nelsons idea sounds good..
Or a simple <2000cc, <2500cc, <3500cc, 24v, FI Maybe? Fuck knows..
All claimed times would need to be backed up with a printout!!

I should be running my M30 with a turbo by then.
And I will abuse it!
I'm looking forward to it already!
