NCC Autocross Classing Meeting

[woodym3]

Pete laid out this thoughts in post #9 and I guess none of us could get him to change his mind.

The best car for "Showroom" is the Z4 3.0i / 3.0si. One of those would absolutely annihilate a "Showroom" 335i. Hell, it's a better autocross car than an E36 M3 and probably better than an E46 M3 on our courses. The 335 should be in "Showroom."

Maybe once you move to "modified" the 335i would have a shot. But even in "Prepared" it's going to get smoked by a Z4.

John, do you mean "Sport" instead of "Showroom"? All BMWs are covered by Showroom. Showroom A for M cars and 335, Showroom B for all other BMWs.

Modifications move all cars to the Prepared, Modified or Unlimited categories.
All of this according to Pete, of course.

I too would like to see some well driven Z4s show up.

GEEEZZZZ!

Can we all just start racing already!!!


Drive/trailer your car to the event, run the piss out of it, have fun, then go home and drink your face off!


Sounds like a bunch of old ladies.




OK, off my soapbox, and to the fridge for another beer.

Woody: no, I mean "Showroom."

The 335 was put into "Showroom M." I find this strange, because the Z4 3.0 / 3.0si is in "Showroom" and the Z4 is, by far, the faster car around an autocross course.

The 335i follows the E46 M3, which means it progresses into Prepared Super Sport (The Z4 goes to Prepared Sport) and Modified Super Sport (The Z4 goes to Modified Sport).

It makes no sense.

There's no drama here. I just want to seriously understand the reasoning by which a 335 is classed UP from a Z4.
