Good thing I have no ride lined up for next year so I can’t be salty :)

200TW or more I’d drive everywhere, less than 200TW my preferences would be to swap tires and wheels on for events only and run a harder compound for street use.

I am interested and my dad too if he is in town.

We decided to include first gen Fits and will assess if their needs to be a slight handicap between first and second gen after 2020.

Spec Honda Fit Multi Discipline Race Challenge (2020)

What: A low cost spec race challenge spanning three disciplines of racing envisioned to be low cost for competitors. The Honda Fit is a cheap car to own and run and is surprisingly capable. This event is designed to encourage close competition at entry level costs and encourage participation in local club events. There is no entry fee to compete in this “championship” however all rules of local clubs must be followed at events.

Spec Vehicle: First or second gen Honda Fit originally sold in Canada/USA ONLY (ie no Japanese import cars)

Modifications allowed: HS auto x rules with spec tires to be determined (low cost)

Scoring: Based on a 100 point per event system with minimum one auto x at a local venue, one auto x at a red deer venue, one rally x with ERC and one ice dice with CSCC required to qualify. Four events total scored towards a best possible 400/400 score for the season. For PAX scoring, auto x will be based off fastest HS car of the day, rally x and ice dice will be based off fastest overall car of the day.

Teams encouraged (max 4 drivers per car). First place will receive a trophy (individual) with possible team standings and awards based on participation numbers. Friendly wagers encouraged.

Scoring, rule set and vehicle modifications subject to change after 2020 season pending discussion from all participants.

Rules etc are not set in stone but this is the basic idea of what we want to achieve. We have a team of 3 (maybe 4) already confirmed and have interest expressed from others for down the road.

Awesome, I knew I could count on you guys for a quick run down on them!

Paul, maybe next summer if everything works out I will be around in the summer with a new toy! Haha. Fingers crossed.

James, any reason you'd avoid the Type R. I know the styling is polarizing, but I kind of dig it

Outside of auto x I just don’t like how it drives. The seating position is not as good as I expected, the infotainment is horrible, I find it has a lot of road noise, and I find the build quality in general is not great. The interior space is ok with the seats folded. The fuel economy seems to lag its rivals on the highway. I also despise electronic parking brakes. Personal feelings really.

I would say the CTR is better for auto x but I still wouldn’t buy one.

I was entering the stop box between 135-140km/h in the afternoon so it was very fast.

27
I can also be there with a truck.
....and a 5x10 open trailer if it'll help.  If you're good for resources without me, that's fine too - I'm coming in from Canmore.

I can also bring a 8.5x34.5 enclosed trailer but seems overkill I think.

I can be there in my truck.

Was just at the airport, the billboard on the lot is advertising outdoor rentals “contact events@steinbock.ca”. I don’t remember seeing it before, is that new?

It’s definitely been there for a while.

Dang been thinking about one of these for a while now but it’s bad timing for me. Someone is going to get a great deal!
