#1
Posted 05 January 2012 - 06:52 AM
Just wanted to touch base and invite 4GTUNER to compete in the 2012 ARC Just Car Insurance Forum Battle at Calder Park Raceway.
The first event of its kind as Forum Battle infiltrates the Australian Rally Championship (ARC) at Calder Park in March 2012. This is all about online forums enjoying some light hearted competition against each other in an offline event spanning across multiple disciplines of motorsport and car culture including:
-Time attack
-Show and shine
-400m Drags
-Gymkhana
-Tarmac Rally Stage
Details:
Forum Battle will span over 2 days. There’s $20k’s worth of prizes up for grabs for forum members and prime time TV coverage on Channel 10 alongside the ARC coverage.
For more information and to be featured on the website: www.forumbattle.com.au
Look forward to your thoughts and feel free to contact me on 0432 884 177 or email [email protected]

- Club Support : This is a non-motorsport discipline. Each car forum will be provided a unique ticket code for the event and points will be awarded to forums based on the ticket sales per forum and thus the support of the event, each forum and the ARC Forum Battle by the forum members.
- Time Attack : This event will consist of 2 cars and drivers from each forum. Each driver will have 2 x 15-minute sessions to post their best time over the 1.6 kilometre Calder Park National Circuit Short Course (see attached map). There will be up to 8 cars on the track at once.
- Rally Stage/One-Lap Dash :This event will consist of 2 cars and drivers from each forum. Each driver will get 4 runs over the 2km course using the Calder Park National Circuit Long Course, the best time for each driver will be used to determine overall ARC Forum Battle points. Cars will be flagged away (rallystyle!) at 30 second intervals using timing beams at start and finish.
- Gymkhana : This event consists of 2 cars and drivers from each forum. Each driver will get 2 runs over the 750 metre highly technical slalom gymkahana course utilising pit lanes in the middle of the thunderdome. This is the most used section of calder park raceway for Rally Calder and will be highly visible to the public . Cars will be flagged away (rallystyle!) at 30 second intervals using timing beams at start and finish.
- Drag/Quarter Mile Sprint : The event will consist of 4 cars and drivers from each forum. Each driver will get multiple runs over the strip.
- Show n Shine : 20 cars per forum with each forum given an area within the Rally Calder Service Park precinct to “make their own”. A panel of judges will award points to the best presented individual cars and car forum as a whole – so get those creative juices flowing in terms of your areas!

From what I can understand u can only have a certain amount of cars from each forum enter each event? If that's the case I'm sure there are more qualified cars on here for the track events but show and shine I'm in 100%

Make no mistake there will be some fast cars there, and I might be wrong but I dont think you can enter the rally
part unless you are an ARC registered competitor. Lewis will know.

I'm sure there will be lots of quick cars. Are there category's for the drags? Like street trim, tubbed and untubbed, FWD/RWD/AWD etc... Or is it just forums vs forums whatever they bring?
