[lochness42]

I want to participate too, who will pay me plane ticket? :lol:

[mattym0310]

i'll be getting a team together for definate :)

[mark christopher]

whats the format? one car, or full team of cars/drivers?

[Chrislong]

I am pretty sure it is 1 car mate, im sure G will confirm.

I'll be there - sleeping bag n'all. I recommend lots of Pro-plus, and perhaps arrange a lift home as id hate for anyone to fall asleep at the wheel and crash.

Are we allowed to drink alcohol while participating? :)

[jimmy]

The rules are on the entry form which is linked in the news item above. It is indeed one car for the whole team.

[Lee]

I think it states in the rules that you have too !

[Chris Doughty]

Love this!! I think I might have one more 10th scale race in me... :woot:

[Lee]

You could try an X6 chris :D

[Chris Doughty]

as long as its got plenty of blue stuff in it its a possibility...

its going to be impossible to get a team of enough people all pleasing their own sponsors/supporters so I guess exceptions could be made...

[Belsten]

anyone from Wales fancy it ???

[IceMike]

that sounds amazin :P good luck all those entering :p

[Lee]

as long as its got plenty of blue stuff in it its a possibility...

its going to be impossible to get a team of enough people all pleasing their own sponsors/supporters so I guess exceptions could be made...

I think pretty much all of Xfactory UK use LRP products. I think its only Dan and Tom who are novak but hopefully extra stickers can be applied for their sponsors. :D

[Chris Doughty]

it would be waaay cool if the team shell had bits of everyone's own body on it, kinda like a mash-up of peoples colours/designs :woot:

[Lee]

that would be very cool

a bit like the colin edwards bike (i think) that had peoples names all over it

[IceMike]

still time for someone to do a paintjob :P an anyways cant u change the shell, it only said that the chassis must be the same, said nothing about the shell

[Chris Doughty]

no way, its got to be a one-off shell for the event, that would be ace!

[IceMike]

haha i wonder if team oople is attending :p and how many gb of photos an stuff will be taken for those of us that wont be attendin :p

[Chrislong]

Team Schumacher could do a one off shell spray job, then auction it off. Should fetch some good money being the winners shell n'all ;) ;) ;)

[Chris Doughty]

now there is an idea...

the teams shells are signed by the team members and auctioned off for charity! (if they wish to do so)

[Billthemina]

Team Teeside, YEAH?!

this should be epic!

i like the shell idea too! :o


Alex

[josh_smaxx]

Oh wow, i mean WOW, defo be there, probs in a team. I can see this being truly amazing fun, like really proper mint.

[IceMike]

u could auction off the whole car :p im sure there gunna be new chassis you start with anyways to take that much race time. thats more than my car has had all year (and not cos its bin broke before anyone says anything an im sure you will)

[ben]

Love it :D... schumacher will be there in full force, im sure ;):eh?:

Ben :wub

[blitzboy]

what no team shimage ben thats not good mate

[Craig]

Id be up for a welsh team, will be a great event

[ben]

what no team shimage ben thats not good mate

I can put some Phat team shimage stickers on the shell :woot:

[Lee]

I think the cars will be scrap after the race, its like 2 years worth of racing in one go.

It will be fun though :D

[Chrislong]

I think the cars will be scrap after the race, its like 2 years worth of racing in one go.

It will be fun though :D

Nah, it'll just be a case of replacing bearing, outdrives, O-rings and shock shafts. I bet the car is suprisingly in good condition still after this - you ought to run my old X-5 mate, its been through worse. :lol:

[Lee]

You will be replacing outdrives every 10 minutes anyway :lol::lol::lol:

[Chrislong]

Nah. :lol:
:blush:

[IceMike]

i wouldnt even attempt it with an old car, less chance sumat odd is gunna break, like the rule with the martial though that will be interesting. and the wheole starting the car where it stops is kewl, i would be interested to see how taht is enforced though. and also wot sort setups the teams use, the slow an steady approch or putting a faster motor in.

Can u change the motors and things through the race?? i guess that u can do wotever u want to the car really

[MRD]

Can a windows PC do a whole 24h without crashing :lol:.

I'd love to do it but I'd only feel comfortable thrashing my own car.

[Chrislong]

Can u change the motors and things through the race?? i guess that u can do wotever u want to the car really

Have to allow for anything breaking - as we know, it can. Its going to be a race not just won on the track, but won with reliability and faster wrenchers.

[Stu]

Why is there a ghost on the EBOR banner?

[mattym0310]

Why is there a ghost on the EBOR banner?

Yeah i noticed that this afternoon :confused::eh?:

Team Xtreme will be there with a team i'm sure. It's gonna be an awesome event, surely a worlds first??

[telboy]

Hmm, sounds intresting. Not sure if i'd get time off from kids duty to do it though.:cry:

[MattW]

Does sound like a cool race - not exactly a world first though. There used to be a 24hr race in France years ago - Le "Touqet" or something like that i think.

[Lee]

What does EBOR stand for?

[Darren Boyle]

Our very own Donisthorpe used to run a 24hour race annually many years ago, which was outside on the grass. We did it one year as a team from our local Watford Club, and it was fantastic, we used an old Traxxas TRX-1 with Demon 1400 SCR's, Demon 17 turn motors and a good old trusty Speedmaster ESC.. Came 6th out of 9 teams too, including the famous Schumacher works team (with their Procat)!!!!

[jimmy]

What does EBOR stand for?

Eboracum was a fort (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castra) and city (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City) in Roman Britain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Britain). Today it is known as York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York)

[Darren Boyle]

Jimmy...did you just know that or did google help with your research!! LOL

[jimmy]

lol yeah, I can't make a logo saying EBOR without questioning it! :lol: - I merely nicked the explanation from wikipedia ;)

[Mossy]

This looks good, been lookin to do a proper endurance race for a long time. Team Schumacher good raise a team im sure

Si

[Billthemina]

Think Teesside have pretty much sorted a team :)

Plus we worked out on needing about 20 sets of tires :o And if all the wheels are bought new that comes to something not much short of £600 :o:o

[Northy]

I'm glad you guys are loving the idea of this - trust me it has taken a lot of planning to get to this point :yawn:

If you really do want to do this event then please email your intention to Derek (his email address is on the entry form), we can not run the event with less than 7 teams, but we are also limiting it to 12 maximum.

I've been wanting to do this for a few years now, and this year people finally gave in and said yes :)

As Jimmy says, we'd like to make this an annual event if possible.

Also, if your coming to race you might just end up on TV ;););)

And I won't organise one ever again.:cry: It was really, really hard work. Possibly much more than people realise.
However good luck to all those who enter and those running the event.

[Nicolas Petit]

Does sound like a cool race - not exactly a world first though. There used to be a 24hr race in France years ago - Le "Touqet" or something like that i think.

right Matt! The right name is LE TOUQUET, in the north of France there are a lot of years...

[Stu]

I know who the ghost is.

[telboy]

Any info on how many teams have signed up for it officially G?

[Northy]

I've emailed Derek to find out but I think I know of about 8 :D

G

[Northy]

This has gone a bit quiet, how are people getting on sorting teams? :confused:

G

[woOdy]

This has gone a bit quiet, how are people getting on sorting teams? :confused:

G

Sorry G but alot of poeple have been on hols for xmas and I cant get a hold of my lot untill next week. I do have about 6 drivers that r defo and I am waiting for the rest to confirm. Defo doin git though mate.

[super__dan]

Has Lee Mag sorted the X Factory team out yet?

[Chris Doughty]

is there a 'full' LRP team yet?

[Lee Martin]

everyone race traxxis slash's!!!!

[ben]

everyone race traxxis slash's!!!!

Agreed! They looked awesome!!

[Northy]

So, seeing as I can't sleep for sneezing etc (man flu) how are people doing for teams? :eh?:

G

[Lee]

We have enough people to make a very good team now, its just down to sponsor stuff.

I will also get a yes or no from Mrs Sleigh to see if Phil is allowed to come :lol:

[Northy]

Lee, you need to at least email your intention to enter a team to Derek ;)

G

[Lee]

I might just surprise him on the saturday :lol:

[woOdy]

I have just been putting forward the things we need to get a team going for this and WOW. This is going to be very expensive! Tyre wise, if a mini pin lasts about 40 mins of track time then u need about 40 plus pairs. If ur doing 2wd u could get away with half that for the front. 4wd is the same as rears. If your not Schumacher sponsored then its going to be a dear do. Just a thought.:cry:

[Northy]

Stu, even us 'Schumacher sponsored' drivers are not planning on using that many pairs of tyres :bored:

Remember the costs are split between ALL the drivers, and for the amount of track time you get is cheaper than normal I would say ;)

G

[super__dan]

Is there an official 2wd/4wd differentiation/class or just all same?

[Chris Doughty]

personally I would like to see 2WD and 4WD 'winners'

but also the full event winner.

Just like LeMans has LMP1, LMP2, GT and GT2

[Lee]

Northy, can we have clarification on the term "the same chassis must be used" is this classed as the car or the actual chassis plate or tub.

For example: the cat chassis can be removed with 10 screws and bolted onto another 95% pre-built car, You are still technically using the same chassis.

I would like to avoid this scenario and have to replace parts on the 'car'.

Also how much are we allowed to have pre built, for example, can we have a b4/x6 front end ready to bolt on, and gear boxes made up etc or is it a case of having to replace the individual parts at the time, right down to diff balls if needed.

Hopefully by clarifying these points everyone should be on a level playing field :D

[Bradders]

Also how much are we allowed to have pre built, for example, can we have a b4/x6 front end ready to bolt on, and gear boxes made up etc

I was presuming we'd be able to do what we want with every bit of the car except the chassis itself (just like euros etc) I hope so anyway, it'd be way easier.

I'm with G on the tyre issue. Surely everyone is gonna be using less tyres in proportion to the amount of track time you normally get. An hour on a set is easily done... :thumbsup:

[super__dan]

Bradders, is there going to be an AE/CML team, if so running 2wd or 4wd?

[Bradders]

Yup! There'll be a CML team hopefully... just waiting on 1 driver then we're sorted. And it'll be 2wd, it's just so much simpler that way.... and, laying the gauntlet down here, we'll beat all the 4wd's anyway! :woot::p:woot:;)

Cue the banter.:D

[footey]

hi paul what drivers are in the team m8

IM SURE IT WILL BE A DREAM TEAM LOL

[Lee]

hi paul what drivers are in the team m8

IM SURE IT WILL BE A DREAM TEAM LOL

Its not bad, euro champs, national champs, worlds A finalists etc


But so does X factory :o

[Bradders]

Top secret for now... It'll be good though :drool::lol: I counted wrong, we're 2 drivers short! :blush:

[Mike Hudson]

Top secret for now... It'll be good though :drool::lol: I counted wrong, we're 2 drivers short! :blush:
If you need someone to fill a place in I'm available ;):D not a driver that will drag you down either :lol:

[footey]

well im still available :lol: im sure i could fit in nicely with all them national winners euros winners worlds A finalists

[Chris Doughty]

its all about 2WD :thumbsup:

[ben]

G-mag.... order a fireblade!! :lol:

[Lee]

I think the 2wds could pull it out of the bag, the transmission is bullet proof and they will probably do 3 packs of cells to 5 in a 4wd.

and we only have 2 outdrives to break :lol:

I just hope dan steers clear of the rohypnol whilst out on his jolly :lol:

[Chris Doughty]

I am looking forward to this A LOT.

I have been itching for a good enduro race for ages, I did the old Donnisthorpe 24 hour race(s) and they were fantastic!

[super__dan]

WHilst I am taking this seriously, it's one of my best mates 30th's party in York Brewery, so at 8pm I'm disapearing for a few hours ;)

[Chris Doughty]

"whilst I am taking this seriously, ...."

is that a bit like the line

"with all due respect, .... [and then procede to disrepect that person] "

[woOdy]

I was presuming we'd be able to do what we want with every bit of the car except the chassis itself (just like euros etc) I hope so anyway, it'd be way easier.

I'm with G on the tyre issue. Surely everyone is gonna be using less tyres in proportion to the amount of track time you normally get. An hour on a set is easily done... :thumbsup:

ITs ok for u mate, u dont pay. Every body in that case will need 24 pairs of rears at a cost of about £7 each which is about £168 and for 2wd front about £7 and about 12 pairs if that £84. total £252. Just for tyres.
But then again if you then split it down to 8 drivers it comes to £31 each for about 3 hours of driving each.
Can Schuy come up with the stock that we need?

[dave g]

pete will have that many tyres just in his sock drawer...

[Lee]

Won't Kyosho help you out with you being a factory driver and that?

[woOdy]

Won't Kyosho help you out with you being a factory driver and that?

I wasn't talking about me, I was thinking out aloud for none sponsored drivers out there. Sorry if I am putting a downer on things but I love this and cant wait!

[Yardeeee]

Maybe you could consider limiting the amount of tyres per team?

You know how you are going to mark up the chassis' during the few hours before we start? well could each team not present say 6 sets of tyres for a 2wd team, and maybe 8 to 10 pairs for a 4wd team or something like that? mark them up on the tyre wall and then these are checked during the day in the same way the chassis are... its up to the teams then how often they change tyres or whether they rotate them or save the majority of them for the last 6 hrs or whatever?

Its just a thought... if people are concerned about costs, its meant to be a fun event afterall and it would be the same for everyone then.

[Chris Doughty]

yard has a point...

but same number for 2 or 4WD surely (if there are not seperate classes)

only the rears limited, no fool would run spanking fronts and worn rears?? - would they? :p

I like the idea though, brings a new element to the endurance

[footey]

tom i think thats a good idea and if i was incharge i would defo make that a rule:)

[Northy]

Guys we have discussed the tyre thing, infact I wanted it myself but.....

1. We thought it would be hard to scrutineer.
2. This is supposed to be a fun event for charity.
3. We wanted to keep the number of rules to a minimum.
4. This is supposed to be a fun event for charity.
5. Every rule we have has to be scrutineered, therefore your car spends less time on the track.
6. This is supposed to be a fun event for charity.

6 out of the 8 on our team have some sort of a deal with Schumacher, but we are still paying for our tyres.

We are planning on running an hour on a set - we will get 3 1 hour stints each.

Is 3 sets of tyres per driver a lot for 3 hours racing? How many sets do people run at a National wich is 5 minutes racing :lol::lol::lol: - get the joke? ;)

G

[dave g]

you could make everyone stay out on the tyres g for say 1 hour..only allowing tyres changes every hour?

simple enough to police

[super__dan]

Surely a 2wd would need more tyres than a 4wd as a 4wd will stay a lot more competetive on slicks than a 2wd?

Anyway I'll be lashed for half of it so it won't matter (I won't really I'm only having a couple).

[Chris Doughty]

[RcRob]

[Chris Doughty]

you could sell the car afterwards and say it was only used for 1 race meeting :woot:

[Lee]

Why would they need too :lol:

[Northy]

Only one price required ;)

G

[Chrislong]

Only one price required ;)

G

Thats the higher price BTW.
G, shall we put a yellow wing on it now? ;)

[Lee]

[Northy]

Thats the higher price BTW.
G, shall we put a yellow wing on it now? ;)

Haha, I was thinking a full yellow shell, wing and wheels :woot:

G

[Chris Doughty]

I can see this even being an absolute hoot!

[super__dan]

You defo in then Chris? Does this mean you'll be doing more winter track time than when you did actually race 10th off road? ;)

[Chris Doughty]

I am fully in...

and yes, I give up 10th and then put a good few hours track time in :rolleyes:

[Lee]

You defo in then Chris? Does this mean you'll be doing more winter track time than when you did actually race 10th off road? ;)

Chris is keen. he kept me awake all night talking about it :lol:

Dan: Did you get the top secret team email?

[mattym0310]

Thats the higher price BTW.
G, shall we put a yellow wing on it now? ;)

I don't understand... why would you charge a higher price for the car being runner up:confused::eh?: :lol::p

[ben]

Matt are team xtreme entering a team? better stock up on driveshaft buds if so :woot:

[Lee]

Matt are team xtreme entering a team? better stock up on driveshaft buds if so :woot:

No.

What about chassis? or have they solved that problem again?

[ben]

No.

Double up the chassis???:o

[Chris Doughty]

how many sets of brushes and armatures shall I order? :woot:

[ashleyb4]

HAHA ide love to have a 24 hour race where knowone was aloud to use lipo or brushless you had to dust off the old lathes.

A

[matdodd]

this should be such a laugh :D
Anyone know how many teams are booked in yet?

[Lee]

how many sets of brushes and armatures shall I order? :woot:


1 run brushes should be fine, it says so on the packet :lol:

[Northy]

Bumming :woot: this back up to the top again, how are peoples teams coming along? Have you all emailed Derek your intentions to enter a team? Are you in a position to send full details of your team to Derek?

I think we have 7 teams at the moment:

1) oOple / XTreme
2) Bury Buggy Club
3) Schumacher NE
4) The A(E)-Team
5) Mirage
6) Mid West Region
7) X-Factor
8)

G

[super__dan]

Excellent!

Will there be full Le mans start, running to the rostrum?

[Lee]

Health and safety :lol:

It should really be like a top gear challenge where you have to build the car at the start of the 24 hours, that will slow down the 4wds a bit :D

[niggs98]

will help the oople/pred team if you do as they fly together lol

[Stu]

Excellent!

Will there be full Le mans start, running to the rostrum?

Yes, lets run from York town centre.

[dave g]

how about a mandatory pie break every hour where the driver on the rostrum at the time has to nosh a pie down before commencing..no gravy allowed tho

[Northy]

Could I do the running challenge about 11pm?

[Richard Lowe]

Health and safety :lol:

It should really be like a top gear challenge where you have to build the car at the start of the 24 hours, that will slow down the 4wds a bit :D
Are the Schuey team allowed to start with one of the pre-built SX's though? :)

[ben]

Is there gonna be a team jconcepts team rich?

[Richard Lowe]

Is there gonna be a team jconcepts team rich?
Nope :bored:

[Medders]

All sounds very expensive to me :lol:

How about Team Shoestring?

- An old b4 or XXX roller
- 540 motor + standard speedo and servo
- Old Nimh cells only
- Using all the old part worn tires everyone has laying around
- Nothing new allowed

Total cost could come in under £100 :lol:

[Stu]

There may be a funny laughing face at the end of that but there is no reason why that should not see a team to the end of the 24 hrs.

Be really good to see a local team do the 24hrs, especially a York team as it is at their venue.

[Medders]

There may be a funny laughing face at the end of that but there is no reason why that should not see a team to the end of the 24 hrs.



It was a semi serious suggestion. In fact there is no reason why it shoud cost anything. But then who really wants to spent 24 hours plodding round the track knowing last place is a dead cert.

[daz]

:woot:All sounds very expensive to me :lol:

Hi guys,

Just a clarification on something from the boss:


Batterys must be located in the position the manufacturer intended them to be.
You can only use a shell designed for the car you are running.


Thanks,

[Richard Lowe]

Any rules about quick change spur gears G?

:D

does that unclude the under tray.????

[IceMike]

:lol: How long does it take on a BJ4? Schumacher one is one screw and bobs your uncle.

its only 2 screws on a bj4. an u can always change them to use body clips to make it even faster if u so wished, im sure it will be a test of endurance not who can change a set cells the fastest

[Northy]

Any rules about quick change spur gears G?

:D

I can get the teeth off really quickly after Vernon has crashed it (moving the motor) and not told me :cry:

G

[Lee]

That was going to be my question, i doubt it is in the spirit of things to run with no under tray, as the car was designed :lol:

[Northy]

You've got to admit, he has a point there, that custom cutout fibreglass retainer you used sat night isn't as per Schumacher intended. You wouldn't want it to look like you were tailoring the rules around your car would you! ;)

[Northy]

OK, my bad, I worded it wrong. Did it quick at work.

The intention of this rule is to stop people mounting lipos on the wing, top deck, outside of the shell etc..... :o

As long it is in the position intended, that is fine.

This rule actually slows down our battery changes anyway fellas ;)

EDIT: Just so everyone knows this rule clarification came from Derek after I asked him about how we were going to mount our cells on Saturday night.

[footey]

this will defo slow u down northy as i know what u was planning todo

[Northy]

:lol:

Is there full rules anywhere we can get?

So are there any rules anywhere? Northy?
Just so we all know where we stand :)

[Northy]

Look up Mat ^^^^ :woot:

The rules are on the entry form, this is just a clarification :o

G

[matdodd]

:lol: Nice and simple then!

[Lee]

so we are not allowed to run a shell with cut outs etc but we are allowed to use half a shell to aid with cooling?
And now we can use any form of battery retainer as long as the cells are roughly where the manufacturer intended ?

Lee, this is not supposed to complicate things, it is supposed to stop people hacking about perfectly good cars/chassis just for one event :cry:

G

[Lee]

I understand that, but im sure you understand people can only take written rules as you perceive them. So we cant really say fit something as the manufacturers intend and actually mean, dont mount them on the wing. :lol:

Anyway, i think cells are the least of your worries, how quick are you at changing speedo's?

You are using NOvak aren't you :lol:

[Cockerill]

I think people just need to realise the spirit of the race, its for charity! The club don't want people turning up with hacked up cars or one-off specials, but with cars that are in standard 'race trim', with minor mods to make things more reliable/stronger.

I'd also suggest people run a Lipo cut-off given the nature of the event.

[Lee]

I agree with the lipo cut off, the cells are going to be abused as it is, we dont need to make things worse, can we please have this added G

[Northy]

Guys, I already feel that people might think I'm trying to get the rules to suit me/our team, so please email Derek if you have any questions/comments. Posting them on a stupid internet forum often gets you nowhere.

If you use an azarashi shell and cut it to the moulding lines they too can have a body that fits as bad... :woot::woot:

Mine fits fine :p

Borat was exite, yes very, so very that I make all the vomit on the pavement - very good for your meat skwirrel?

[Chris Doughty]

that was ace, one of the things that made it absolutely hilarious was own-car mashalling, some proper comedy moments going on there, all adds to the good spirited banter...

Everyone laughing hard at the HPI being the first snapper - Karma is all I can say... we all paid the price.

Congrats team HPI, once they found their feet that was on fire, they pulled a massive amount back and then stretched a big way out front.

I still can't believe the pace and amount of 'good elbows' racing going on, everyone was committed :thumbsup: :woot:

[josh_smaxx]

So then, how much energy drink did we all have? :lol: coffee not included. i had 3 litres :D

[Chris Doughty]

I had one can of Relentless while I was there, and a can before the drive home, thats all really.

[Chris Doughty]

I must also say, I thought the track was absolutely FANTASTIC!!

no big snapper jumps, but jumps that rewarded doing them 'right'

it was a brilliant rhythm track too, I recon I did ~450 laps on it and enjoyed every one of them

[Darren Boyle]

So you'll be making a 1/10th come back soon then Chris with all that enjoyment.......:p
