R55k in Cape town clearly goes way further than the other provinces - I was expecting old ford`s and opel`s when I heard lemons race LOL

roll cages, brakes and other safety equipment are not considered in the 55k build though if you go over the budget you get handicapped with laps

Awesome video bud! So just to clarify some of the rules there. The purchase price of the car must not exceed R55k... Body and motor.. However your spending on the brakes, suspension and overall safety of the car is uncapped.... That being said, there are still many cars and guys that enter cars above that R55k budget price, however they do get penalized by getting laps deducted for breaking the rules... Its a great event and a fun one. The 24hour is hectic as well but something that has to be attended to say you've done it. But jeez the toll it takes on the body is rough. But a memory to last for a lifetime. However it will be nice if people stuck to the 55k car rule, because it's demotivating to put your all into a 55k lemon, and then see something way more expensive pass you because the rules weren't adhered to. Then you might as well just enter an expensive car just because you can. What keeps it interesting is your power and ability to keep a budget car running and fix it when it breaks.

I hear you and agree, it would be great if they kept it grassroots and affordable. But it's racing and that never really works out. But it's something new in CPT and I look forward to seeing it progress.

Great Video, good entertainment value and some dedication from yourside to stick it out all day 👏. Me, i would have left long time. (lol) As you said and threads that i followed, talking about the 55K factor, rather suspect there as in my opinion, what i could gather and your pointers mentioned, at least 80% of the entrants probably exceeded that bench mark. It kind of decieves the purpose. Anyways, Thank you for showing us and take care. 👍

If your car is worth more than 55k, then you get a 25lap penalty. And because of the time bar, it'll be very difficult to make up the 25.
@lowdl
@lowdl Месяц назад
@@simey001 I didn't know that. 25 laps is very high. You're not going to make up for that because you can't go faster than a 1:35. As spectators, we had no idea what was actually going on. There was no communication on the day talking about the cars and the drivers. There was no info telling us how to follow along to see who's winning. This was not a spectator event. But it's still pretty new and hopefully it grows and becomes something we see more of. 🙏🏽

@@simey001 I totally get that. I don't see the point in having an endurance car that you use for one a year. But with having expensive cars around, it does make it seem as if it's not really a lemons event. The Harp Motorsport Clubmans race car could have won and that's no lemon.

@@lowdl yeah for sure, that car was going. And for sure no lemon, yup I agree that it dilutes the lemon aspect a bit. Perhaps they should consider harsher penalties for non lemons. Saying this, the next event, the 24hr in November, they are introducing 2 classes, OG Lemon, and Suspect Lemon. So it's clear that this is not a new problem.

@@simey001 You're on the money there. It's racing so there will always be guys trying to find loopholes but the spirit of the event is affordable racing and it's far too early for it to be this diluted. Two classes would be great.

@simey001 Месяц назад
​@@J.H.S.H it'll be difficult to find a cheaper form of main circuit racing than this event. The costs are justified, hiring the track complete with marshals and safety crew etc gets expensive. Remember this event was not organised by Killarney or wpmc, they used Killarney as their hosting location. Motorsport is expensive, we can't get away from that. Stock car racing and drag racing might be slightly cheaper to get into, but can also get expensive quickly
