24 Hours of ATT: 1985 (DEADLINE: 24/2/2017)

It’s official - Zavir is entering :smiling_imp: Sadly just for the GT-R class - after seeing my GT-P prototype needing 14l/100km I guessed that there’s no way I’m making it :smile:

Zavir Aera GTR - 2.7 turbo V6, 500+hp, AWD, under 4s to 100 :smiling_imp: Now I’ll have to design it :slight_smile:

What is this, Group B?! :grin:
If we were following the Erin canon correctly, I’d be entering a 780hp monster that was borderline undrivable

Well, yes, that is the exact car (modified a bit) that will be the second of the two that Zavir used in the Group B :smile:

A Group B endurance racer - I look forward to this.

Mine only shares a passing resemblance to the original Xenon. No original parts remain…

500+HP, for goodness sake, ive got to redesign my car now. I limited it to 250hp to make it driveable. That being said, it is a light car, very light

I thought only people could take steroids. Back to the drawing board…

Yeah, this car is REALLY on steroids, since the road-going Aera is just a basic sporty model :grin:

Group C vs Group B… That will be interesting :slight_smile:

#Zavir Aera GTR


This little monster is based on Zavir’s new light sports car model, the 1984 Aera. This exact build is roughly the same machine that will compete in the magnificent Group B from this season, replacing the aging Z Volante R2. It is powered by Zavir’s brand new small V6, the S27E in a turbocharged form which delivers it’s tremendous power to all wheels - an innovation introduced to improve performance in the highly demanding Group B rallying.

Some stats:

  • over 550hp
  • under 1100kg
  • under 3.5s to 100km/h

Nice. I mean, who doesn’t love a Group B monster?
But for a 24 hour endurance race, one might recommend something a little more…

…sophisticated.

Presenting the 1985 ErinSport CRP-3A, the latest creation from our esteemed Prototypes department - more specifically, the latest work from their Group C Development Programme. The CRP-3 platform is a heavily modified version of its predesscor, the CRP-2, and features a steel-alloy tub chassis with a Kevlar-composite body, all-round double wishbone suspension with inboard shocks and fully customisable engine and transmission mounting for optimum weight distribution.

This particular one, chassis no. 4, is a re-purposed spare car, and has been fitted with modified version of the 3.6l Turbo V6 found in the World Sportscar Championship-competitor that ran in the 1985 season. It’s been shrunk down to size to comply with regulations, but still packs a hefty 377 hp.

It’s also rocking the iconic navy blue two-tone livery that ErinSport cars ran with from 1984 to 1989. Driving this beauty will be the team of ErinSport #32, who finished 4th at Le Mans in '85 and 2nd at the 1000km of Brands Hatch that year. They are:
[ul]- Jordan Kielers, a floppy-haired German known for pushing his car to the limit regardless of the consequences and usually bringing the car home in one piece.

  • Andy Shore, an experienced Brit currently at the peak of his career having competed with ErinSport since the Civera Silhouette days of the mid-70s.
  • Samuel Millson, former UK Karting and European Formula 3 champion who got bored of open wheel racing and decided endurance was more his style.
    [/ul]

ErinSport would like to wish all competitors the best of luck in this race, and may the best team win!

Would I scare anyone if I mentioned the Xenon II Prototype is running 430+ horsepower?

I think not after I scared everyone :grin:

Yeah, but you’re using turbos. Mine’s NA.

What’s the top speed of that thing anyways?

Less than 300 km/h :stuck_out_tongue:

You want a sophisticated group B monster modified for 24 Hour endurance? Well, I think I have one here…

#MBS Vole MkIII GT-R Spec




Developed in 1983 to replace the MkII Vole Rally Spec, the MkIII Rally is a modified MBS Vole MkIII hatchback, with new a kevlar reinforced body and a new 2.8L V8 engine. Featuring double wishbone suspension, a 5 speed manual gearbox, and an AWD 56/44 power distribution. Overall, this makes the car weigh less than a tonne, allowing its engine to push it to across the track at speeds rivalling other more powerful cars.

The car being used in this endurance race is a modified car with lower ride, and has the engine limited to around 350hp to make it driveable (Normally, the engine would produce over 500 hp). However, even with the engine power halved, the car still accelerates from 0-62mph in 3.4s.

This variant of the Vole MkIII competed in the 1985 Rally Príncipe de Asturias coming 3rd and 5th.

The main drivers of the MBS Rally Team will be competing using the #31 car.
Drivers:
-Siimon Mäkeläinen: [Main Driver] The main driver for MBS Rally Team, Siimon, joined in 1979 at the age of 21 and competed in multiple races, winning 7 times from 1979-1985. His first rally win was in the MBS Vixen Rally in 1981.
-Stevie Owen: [Main Driver] The second main driver for MBS Rally Team, Stevie was a touring car champion, winning the BTCC multiple times, winning twice with the MBS Race Team using the MBS Capulet in 1970 and 1972.
-René Saint-Yves: [Navigator/Reserve Driver] The navigator/reserve driver for MBS Rally Team, René joined in 1972 aged 27, helping MBS win at the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally in 1976, as navigator for Jeff Stevens in the #31 MBS Montague Turbo Rally.
