i vote we have a v3m cup.
all the valvers explode after 2 laps, and the 1.4s chug on to victory.

VND, did you actually note 360 in that cup, no 340 allowed

As always, oldies have been there already,three years ago to be precise

I had some videos bookmarked from youtube, check this one for example http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... een+modena

It is V360Cup, (geen modena) is usually applied to it as it means not modena to separate from Ferrari 360, mostly because someone coming with F360 to V360Cup race will be trashed

That is actually why I started working with rFactor mod (v300 mod) to make 360 to be raceable, that game has many of those tracks which are used in racing series.

Unfortainely my time has become so limited that I have no idea when I can finish that project

But that would be just unfair, we have truck turbos and lot of redblocks

somebody have got photos of their engines, suspensions and interiors? or know their specs?

360 cup here in Holland is the 1 reason 3dr 360 have become rare. However, it is awesome to see the cup, they really get the best out of a 360.

Cars are standard. Coilovers, uprated exhausts, engine-upgrades, other cams etc are all banned. You can put red or yellow koni's on the car, and put lowering springs and blocks in. Then you can strip the weight out and balance the car. That's about it.

why they have got so much camber on the front wheels??

[jtbo]

They have modified crossmember which gives around -3 degrees of camber, that is required that tyres will last and to make car actually turn somewhere and not to plow straight as it does when in standard form (that is -0.25 degrees at max, typically 0).

how they modifie the crossmenbers? you know? or someone hae got any photo of the crossmenbers?

I believe they weld extension pieces to it, just to get lower ball joints further apart from each other, trick is to get just right amount of extension to both sides as for example 3mm can change camber quite a lot.

I have seen photo of modified part once, but it was not very clear and it was long time ago.

Actually anything that moves lower balljoints more outwards will give you more camber, there are other methods to gain that, but also you can modify top mount of strut to get more camber, however I'm not sure how much there is space to move strut top inwards.
