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

mattym0310 19-12-2008 09:05 AM

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

mark christopher 19-12-2008 09:37 AM

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

Chrislong 19-12-2008 10:23 AM

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 19-12-2008 10:25 AM

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 19-12-2008 10:26 AM

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

Chris Doughty 19-12-2008 10:29 AM

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

Lee 19-12-2008 11:35 AM

You could try an X6 chris :D

Chris Doughty 19-12-2008 11:42 AM

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 19-12-2008 12:41 PM

anyone from Wales fancy it ???

IceMike 19-12-2008 12:41 PM

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

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 19-12-2008 12:50 PM

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 19-12-2008 01:02 PM

that would be very cool

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

IceMike 19-12-2008 01:04 PM

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 19-12-2008 01:22 PM

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

IceMike 19-12-2008 01:27 PM

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 19-12-2008 02:33 PM

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 19-12-2008 03:03 PM

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 19-12-2008 03:07 PM

Team Teeside, YEAH?!

this should be epic!

i like the shell idea too! :o

josh_smaxx 19-12-2008 03:08 PM

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 19-12-2008 03:11 PM

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 19-12-2008 03:28 PM

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

Lee 19-12-2008 04:11 PM

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 19-12-2008 04:37 PM

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

Chrislong 19-12-2008 04:39 PM

Nah. :lol:
:blush:

IceMike 19-12-2008 04:39 PM

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 19-12-2008 05:08 PM

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.

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.

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 19-12-2008 09:24 PM

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

MattW 19-12-2008 09:37 PM

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 19-12-2008 09:51 PM

What does EBOR stand for?
