Doran racing Mid Ohio World Challenge GTS
 

Doran racing has entered their Continental Challenge GS #14 Nismo 370Z RC edition in this weeks SCCA World Challenge GTS Mid Ohio race.
The car will be badged as the #74 machine with BJZ behind the wheel.
It will be an interesting race for sure...and looking forward to the challenge on home turf.
Stay tuned.....

Good Luck.

So was this the big news that you had mentioned elsewhere?

So the class rules overlap enough that you can enter a car in Conti GS + WC GTS? Interesting, I didn't realize that was possible. Do you have to make any little changes when switching from one spec to the other? Good luck! :)

Hmm, Continental Tire Challenge to Pirelli World Challenge, what would they possibly need to change?? :rofl2:

interesting. While I'm all for more Nissan racing, I just hope the team doesn't jeopardize the points race in CTSCC. You guys seem to really still be in it. Good luck in the other series!

Smartass :p

OK. Watched the Ontario race.
Y'all were leading & went to the Pit just as a yellow came out.
Caught a penalty & the Fords & Chevy's took over.
Could you explain the penalty to me, I didn't understand it watching TV.

There was no penalty. We were coming into the pits (while in the lead) to perform our final pitstop (fuel and 2 tires)

Whoops hit that early.. As i transitioned to make the entrance into pitlane... The yellow came out closing the pits ... And screwing us royally.
Put us waaaay back in the field... Instead of about 6th on track.

Am going to try and get over to Rd ATL to see y'all run in Oct.

??? Decide not to play in the rain?

Nope worse
It is with great sadness that i bring bad news.
During qualifying... An aston martin decided to use the Chassis 001 as a stopping aide. The chassis is about written off... And the crew now has 3 days to get our other chassis ready for Road America....

Shít sorry...

Crap!!!!!!! :mad:

:shakes head: sorry to hear.

By the way, BJ, Hope you are ok.?

Yea im fine... Actually the car drove back to the transporter fine... Just knocked rear toe in a bit.
The other bummer of it all ... SCCA gave the Z a new tire this year.... Only the rear tire they gave it is 6" larger in circumference... And it killed the car. The gear was really awful and cost .7-.8 seconds a lap on acceleration.
We were about 4 mph better rolling min speed through the carousel... But 2mph slower entering turn 1.
We would have gotten to a high 1:28 in qualifying for sure... The temps and psi had just came up
Boys are now burning the midnight oil trying to build a new #14 for road america

Here ya go

And yes that is the astons rocker panel hitting our A pilar and left front tire coming down on the front window.

Fark, the Doran boys build a strong race car then (or was that a NISMO-built chassis) ...

:eek:

Wow, crazy and sad :( Good luck on getting that 2nd chassis ready to go!

I can't believe how fast they got it back together.

...you guys go through cars like british touring car team. Glad youre OK!

Yup... Just shufflin them around.
