How did a zen get into a manufacturers class or does the change of rules allow for engine swaps based on CC, allowing a zen to race in this class.

I thought that this car would go into the Indian Open due to a engine swap.

I need to get trained by the tuner of this car :Shockked: .


Mod Note: Thread Split

Psycho u just saved me 2 minutes....i was typing out the same thing..when ur post appeared.:)

What is a manufacturers class? Never heard of it! Classes are not bases on any particular model of car, they just had to be an Indian car/engine.

Surprised quite a few people. Was scrutineered after the race and everything was OK though.

Does this mean any indian production car having a indian engine can run in these classes as long they meet the required regulations and are within the cc limit.

Thus far at all drags held ....this type of cars would have to run in the ind open.
Only car with their oe engine block,head & gearbox would be allowed to run in cc classes.

Is this rule applicable for all the 4 rounds of speedrun.?

There is a bit of confusion on this it seems and looks like it has to be better clarified before the next round.

However, for this round, the regs simply stated that the engine & gearbox must be Indian. It did not specifiy that, for example, a Zen could only run with the engine it is supplied with.

I would imagine that this should be a regulation for the Pro-stock class, but not any other class. I will open a seperate thread for people's comments on the drag and how it can be further fine tuned. Kinda like a de-brief. Lets not mix up this thread.

cool.

can u move the last few posts as well into that thread.
Thanks.

1) Well if that is the case then a ezen class itself would not be required. You can effectively run the ezen in the 1100 - 1400 CC class. Now that gets really confusing.

2) So you are saying if a zen comes in with a skoda RS engine it would also be allowed in the 1600 - 2000 CC class

3) Another clarification as the RS is already a turbo car and is considered production can it also use an additional Forced Induction method without any penalty's.

Ezen class is not required, but its there as ACI wanted it in.

Well, if you go by the regs for Mumbai, yes, that would have been allowed. Hindsight is always 20:20 and regulations are always evolving with more experience gained.

That was clarified in a bulletin stating that only ONE could be used - either TC or Nitrous. The word "aftermarket" was removed.

bro according to a source this car was stock and had the best reaction time that's why he won

RTech another doubt here :

1. To determine the class winners do u add up the reaction times (RTs) to the runtimes (timed from start to finish) and then declare the winners or are the winners declared purely on the runtime basis excluding the RT's..
2. What exactly does ET (elapsed time) mean ???

stupid:

your source is wrong about the reaction time. However please stick with the topic here. This is not to discuss what the cars were running etc. but to put down suggestions on things to improve the run.

Sorry offtopic --- I did not see Rtech's post however, mods if you want to delete this please do---

Stuart Neil Lima Mitsubishi Lancer 1.179 15.338

Well the numbers do the talking themselves, the car could not be stock, if it was then I am drunk as I am typing this as there is no way an Indian Lancer with the Indian engine could pull this off Naturally Aspirated. If it has been done then I have been humbled, however I need proof that an Indian lancer can pull off times as good as these.

How about moving from classification according to CC to doing a drag according to what TIMES the cars actually do.. for example.. if you say you have a 12.xx second car and you go under 12 seconds.. then your disqualified.. but if you go over.. no problem.. what do you guys think?

Exactly. I was hoping one of the "tuners" would say this though. This way you do away with classifications and the accusations of cheating etc.

This also makes it easier to specify safety for each class.

However, then you have the problem of people not knowing how fast their cars are, so what do you do about that!! Chicken and egg situation here!

This sounds so much like bracket racing, and I do not think India is ready for it yet.
