Brands (indy) can do 34 cars (well, they are next weekend!)
With TT and TDT they seem to stay at 32 for some reason

Gents,

Just had my car tested up at Advanced Motorsports today for Sundays Team Trophy race. What sort of results have you had on their dyno as 20 of my horse powers seem to have escaped! I had my car dyno'd at TDI and JAMSport last year, each within 5%. I dont understand unless somehow my car was tested on the wrong map! Itll mean that ill drop from Class B to Class C.

measured at the hubs as opposed to guestimated calculated at the flywheel?

TDI is a hub dyno too.

Have you done all the obvious health checks on your engine, compression, leakdown, etc?

Poor grid sizes at Brands too!

17 in TDT and 16 in TT.

I can see them all being on one grid next year if they don't do something about it.

They've sorted the power to weight policing now so really they just need to tighten up on driving standards and drop the entry fees a little then it can get back to being the successful series it once was.

There wasnt much wrong with driving standards in TT on Sunday. We got weighed twice and power tested. I must admit we were 1bhp over our declared power but we were also 28kg overweight!!!

Yeah I agree. From where I was sitting it all looked great to me.

Well hopefully that's one thing sorted (although perhaps the worst offenders are no longer running in the series, considering how many have left). If they make the entry fees more competitive maybe the grid numbers will start to rise again.

Same experience my car has dropped from a consistent 190bhp for the last 2 seasons, down to 166bhp with no noticable difference in performance, was trying to tune her to sit at the top of Class B, we're now in middle Class C.

Hi Bazz, not done yet, but just a skim, and new rods, rings and liners to get it back to standard power. Sticking to original equipment 968 pistons - I don't want to move up to class E in Intermarque. Andy hasn't rebuilt it yet, so still only 190bhp @ wheels in last weekend's Oulton AMOC race, and happy with 1.57.1. So hoping the work might move me up to class A in MSV TT, and get me closer to the other 968 in AMOC, but we'll see. If it's only just in A then I'll ballast to stay in B. Anyway, Andy has it all to do before next month's MSV Silverstone GP, so he will be busy from now on!

Correction - not now fitting new liners - hence might not even get it back to standard compression, but it has to be an improvement vs what I've got today!

Driving standards in TDT weren't too bad at Brands. Couple of new drivers who were a little tricky to deal with but nothing too bad.

We dynoed about 5bhp down this year compared to last at TDI. We had a binding calliper for Brands so were even more down on power than normal!

A thoroughly enjoyable race today over the GP circuit - what a track.

One hour fast race meant we virtually ran out of fuel at the end frown and lost a place.

My bloody clutch went driving off the weigh bridge after quali. Release bearing failure I think. How annoying.

I've been looking at this since last year and i really want to do trackday trophy, as i think i'll look silly in anything else having not raced before! Am i right in thinking that i need a hans device for this year?

Is anyone else doing trackday trophy or team trophy this year?

Yes you need a HANS device or a Simpson FHR. I think that they are the only 2 authorised FHR devices.
