With these new rev limits there may well be a lot of hi lift, long overlap camshafts up for sale on e-bay very soon !
Although the idea seems very good, it can be a bit of a double edged sword ; will Carol's U2TC & other series , plus the 6hrs follow (or be forced to follow) suit ? If not, then those competing in non rev-limited races, with money, will just have one or 2 engines and diffs of above & below 8K spec. Those that can't do that & are stuck with 8K spec engines won't be competitive in a free revs race.
The only reason I stopped racing 5 years ago was money & this may further drive out other privateers who would still like to race internationally or in a mixture of race series.
Additionally, running engines up to rev limiters is not always so good for those engines & could further increase costs & reduce reliability. Again, those with the money will flat shift against the limiter & pay the rebuild costs & those with less will go easy & lose time.
At the end of the day, everyone is free to compete or not & it seems no matter what rules & regs are put in place, it's the big budget guys that come out on top, but they & the organisers, do still need the little guys to fill out the entry for things to remain healthy.
Any thoughts on that ??
