[quote][i]Originally posted by Big Al[/i] Guys, been following this thread with Interest. I remember the Mazzas being fast from Barcelona in 2006 already. Surely some people would have picked up on this from then already?? I believe something DOES need to be done to "reign back" the Mazzas because of their obvious advantage. Higher positioned weight could be the answer, as well as an 85mm Max rear Spur width, if that's sufficient to make the car "more difficult to drive", then simple, the drivers need to tread more carefully, vs being able to run them at the pace they have been run. The Gearing, (by 1 or 2 teeth) to slow the top speed could also work, irrespective of what Nick says that that is just what they need. The point is to slow them down marginally to make the field more competitive, otherwise, what's the point?? I, unlike Pal, will not simply "make up the numbers/fill the field" if I know the front runners will just be Mazzas. If the weight limit hurts the motor, tough, then you Pit and replace it when needed, afterall, you'll have a big enough lead to do that. Voltage chokes will be much more difficult to control, unless it is in the form of a diode soldered between motor and braids by Tech Control. I think Tamar and Nick and Henri etc should take Nick's current Spec cars to the closest track, and try a number of the following suggestions one at a time, and Nick to drive the car as constantly as possible, and then choose whichever system reigns back Nicks times by .3 to .5 of a second consistantly, and that becomes the "Mazza" handicap, simple. While we're all missing the point that currently, a GT2 car is leading, the concerns of the mazza, (And possibly a Saleen) in the future of this class are very well clear, and need to be rectified sooner, rather than later. You WILL have entry's fall away if the domination continues, just like it has in other classes of model car racing. If drivers, top class or mid field, have absolutely no chance of being "competitive" in an event because of a glaring domination of a car, then you WILL see those drivers/cars stop entering, and the SERIES will be hurt. It's happened before, all over the world. Regards Big Al [/quote]
