JS154 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 The 2011 rules call for a .2 factor adjustment for BMW Motorsport chassis'. The E30 M3, with a VIN starting with the letters WBS.... is a BMW Motorsport Chassis. These cars were built by BMW Motorsport as a manufucturer Motorsport division factory homologation special for Group A, N and DTM racing series. In other words, back in 1987-1991 the E30M3 was that days equivlaent of today's GT3 Cup car.... The E36, E46 and E90 models were/are regular BMW production line cars. Does National realize they just penalized everyone in GTS who runs an E30 M3 chassis? For me, this 1) guarantees I will not run my e30 m3 in GTS Challenge and 2) if I do show up in a different model at some point, and an E30 M3 chassis car beats me, the first thing I'm going to question is if their car is the proper weight/power under the new rules...after all, Motorsport Chassis, add .2 to the power weight formula, and there is no question the E30 M3 is a true BMW Motorsport chassis. (Same for the E28 M5 as a matter of fact). Having been very involved in the BMW CCA rule sprocess in the past myself - I think you all should have left well enough alone, period. This opens up a can of worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
