Car Classing is based on engine size:
- Class 1/1R is for engines under 2.3 liters, except Honda S2000 and Lotus
Elise/Exige.
- Class 2/2R is for engines over 2.2 liters, but under 4.0 liters, plus Honda S2000.
- Class 3/3R is for engines over 3.9 liters, plus Lotus Elise/Exige.
- Class S2000 is only for Honda S2000 on street tires.
- Class X/XR is an open class for any engine displacement and induction.

Rotary engine multiplies displacement by 2.0. Usage of forced induction multiplies displacement by 1.5. (This is in addition to the rotary multiplier, if applicable.) Tires with a wear rating under 140 must use the R class.

Hey X class peeps - I've got somewhere I need to be tomorrow afternoon. Do any of you mind if I take all of my runs in the morning heat?

No prob here. The AM will be cooler, so it should be to your disadvantage.

Meesh, since you don't have the talent to run in X class, your protest is moot. ::Bleh::

Yes, but you might want to run like a 2 driver car, first group and last group, so you avoid the hotlapping.

Since I will have my work assignment out of the way early, I was either going to take 4 runs in each morning heat or run in one heat like a 2-driver car. No intention of hot lapping all 8 in a row.

Well, I asked my factory contacts to drop a V12 Vantage S at my house for the weekend, but they must have written down the wrong address since it hasn't showed up yet. ;)

As much as I HATE to do it, I'm going to have to skip this event. I'm still working with a group of DBA's in India to complete this software deployment ... :(

Someone can take my spot ...
