After watching the FP race sunday I started doing a little research, hell the SCCA has neutered the 914. They have saddled the car with a ton of weight while giving the advantages to the other guys. Porsche must have historically pissed off the SCCA. THe EP 914 wieghs less than the FP car, what the hell happend there. Why don't all the FP guys go to EP, is the competetion that bad? My street car weights 60lbs more than a legal FP car and I have almost a full interior and some extra chassis bracing.

QUOTE(Brett W @ Dec 8 2003, 09:06 AM) Porsche must have historically pissed off the SCCA. that's no secret ... in the 50's, "sports car" racing meant MG's, Austin's, Triumph, Morgan maybe the occasional Ferrari, Abarth, Bugatti, Maserati, or OSCA. Porsches had the nerve to show up against the "veddy, veddy proper" British cars and win all the races ! i don't think there's been an SCCA Pro series yet that Porsche didn't dominate for a while, until the rules got tinkered to eliminate them. nowadays it is often a case of "do you want to drive a car you like, or do you want to win" ? endurance racing has always been Porsche's playground, due to reliability. now that they're having to compete overweight and underpowered, they're becoming fragile too. |
