Doesn't seem very GT3, but they are not breaking any rules for this series.

This rule was put in place 3 or 4 years ago after the first GT3 run. F1 wheels were more common in the Group5 proxy which was replaced by the GT3 proxy. The wheels that have been used most often are 15x13 CBD wheels. The JME wheels have been asked for but have not been made readily available which are 16X13.

Rims - The minimum wheel size for front and back rims/wheels are 15mm as per the wheel manufacturer. Smaller (less than 15mm) e.g. F1 style rims are not allowed.

Thanks for the clarification.

I really want to try and enjoy this result...7th! Something to celebrate. But being realistic, I've built a proxy car that finished 25th in the previous round which, by another definition, must mean its a poor, inconsistent, proxy car.

However, I think I'm going to ignore that last point, enjoy the moment, and give myself some credit for doing something to the car that allows it to perform like that under certain circumstances!

The North American dream continues for me. A repeat of a previous round where I qualified 18th and improved 6 places in the race. Nice comments about my car, although not too technical! OXO Cube's car seems to be suffering with a persistent tyre issue that is preventing his car from making similar gains between qualification and the race.

Another good result, well done. Thumbup

I'm amused and slightly disconcerted with the team column, which differentiates between the two North American countries, USA and Canada, but then everybody else is just INT, which I presume means international. Blimey. Rofl

Really great result, well done.

My car in the O2.5L Trans Am Proxy is listed in the results as USA Team entry.
I think perhaps the “RoadRunners” name is a little misleading Bigsmile

Medals are given at the end to the winner based on points. Hopefully it will be based on the top 4 or 5 builders from each to even the playing field as the INT Team continues to grow.

The Race Video

Very pleased with the 12th place qualifying, but unlike recent races, my median time ranking seemed to be about the same, so I wasn't expecting to gain positions with a consistent run come race day. And so it was, dropping down to 15th position. Watching the live video, there was no great drama, just not the same speed as my running mate who gained 1.5 laps (about 7 seconds) over the combined 7 minute heat. Hopefully my tyres will hang on in there for the remaining 3 rounds. OXO Cube die seems to have been cast and his tyres aren't able to lift him up the rankings. Hopefully you are focusing all resources on the next entry...I've just ordered a new chassis/pod combination for mine!
