24 Dat Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 The dates or CB this year are 15th to the 18th of November, Super Sprints on the Thursday and Friday and Regularity Saturday and Sunday. Entries will open in July I have a huge group already planning to compete, i have 45 people who are now starting to pay deposits for Group E (Group Z as we call ourselves) organised by the ZCCQ loads of Z's and ZX's and other great Nissan/Datsuns so if your not competing save the dates and plan coming out to Bathurst as it is an amazing 4 days. I have a full group of 55 spots so that means i have 10 spots left, that i can fill, we have campsites in the Officials and volunteers camping area and cover garages on pit straight for competitors, an some other great sweeteners. Its a totally awesome event and we are building to a huge 50th anniversary celebration of the 240Z in 2020 with a planned 50 S30's and other Z'x and ZX's and spots for other awesome Datsun/Nissans you will have need to compete in at least one of the past 2 years or one of the next 2 years to be considered as track experience is vital PM me if you would like to compete Cheers Dave RAP260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

600Z Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hi guys just wondering what requirements do you need to be able to race there? Cheers, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Car needs to be either road registered or CAMS log booked, have you any official track experience? 99% of us do the Regularity event because we are not fast enough to be serious in the Sprints.

24 Dat Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hi Justin , Here is a link to the 2017 Sup Regs it might help your question about requirements, otherwise PM me and i will let you know my email address http://www.challengebathurst.com/sites/default/files/cb-2017/CB-17-Supplementary-Regulations-Final-as-6-7-17.pdf The fastest time you can complete a lap in the Regularity is 2.36:000 we have had a couple of cars (non Z's) in our group go faster than that and have there run black flagged, but the fastest Z last year was Jon Siddins 2.37:978 in his Green 240Z and in 2016 I did 2.38:882 in my Gold 240Z Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24 Dat Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Just bumping this, On the Challenge Bathurst Facebook page today, entries are now open for the Regularity and the Super Sprint for past competitors, they have said there is already a waiting list for all those who have not competed before in the event, so it will guaranteed be a sell out this year, I have a few spots left in Group Z for this years Regularity. If you want to join us for this totally awesome event please contact me asap Cheers Dave 260DET 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Hi guys. Do any of the Datsun guys run with slicks , or mostly use r-spec tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Mostly R spec Gordo, came in handy last year with the rain. Lee F will likely run slicks on his 370Z sprinter but at the end of the day I guess that it's a personal choice. Gordo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hi Guys. The car is pritty much ready for Bathurst. Think I will bring two types of rear spoilers and see what sort of speed gains I can get on The straights. I’ll wait for the last weather forecast to see what tires are needed. I only want to bring one set if possible. Should make it to the track about lunch time Friday. Hows everyone else’s prep going?

260DET Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Unfortunately I'm not going this year Gordo, your PI experience should be a great benefit although Bathurst has a greater variance of challenges. Make sure you post lots of video, it will be very interesting to see what your times are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLY240 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 We’re off to Targa High Country first so just finishing the prep for that and then we head straight to Bathurst after that. Just needs a diff change and a spanner check in between. Last year we had an engine component failure on the last day of Targa which required some surgery in the Bathurst car park before scrutineeing, hoping not to repeat that this year.

24 Dat Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hi Gordo, If you arrive midday Friday expect a big line up for scrutineering, if possible try and get there as early on Friday as you can I am hoping to have the car, gear, spares and trailer sorted this weekend ready to load next up weekend. Are any forum members planning to come out over the CB weekend to spectate? Gordo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Counting the days now. Checking the weather. They are saying a chance of rain Saturday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozza Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Yeah, a little worrying but it’s probably better than the 3-10mm they have forecast for Thursday. Looking forward to getting up there now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
