Team Schirmer

[Steve Gill]

As some of you are aware I'm racing with Team Schirmer this year - Tom Schirmer of Schirmer Race Engineering near the ring is building me a new car, full specs to follow.

Anyone on facebook can find out more on www.facebook.com/teamschirmer

However I have some news to release tomorrow (actually later today lol) that should spice things up a bit :thumbs:

In the meantime here's a pic of the new car that Tom's building:

Nice one Steve, loving the wheels on the car at the moment, I've been considering a set of these to put some Cups on, or maybe BBS CH, can't make my mind up! :( lol

What are the wheels, Rays or Volk TE37's? :)

[Dan]

So one and the same, I thought so! lol :)

I hope you're not too tired guys - my record is 30 hours awake and I didn't feel too good about it :hahaha:

The big news is that we are proud to announce that the 2009 CSL Cup champion Dan Stringfellow will be racing for Team Schirmer this year! :thumbs:

Team Schirmer will be entering 2 cars into the CSL Cup in 2010, both Dan and Steve in the e46 class. There is a possible 3rd car from Germany (e92, open class) being entered for selected races.

[shimmy]

Well done

stick up the news on PUreGT as I am sure there will be some interest there with all the ex CSL owners

really healthy that the are gonna be more proper race teams involved in additon to Thorney and Steele.

Just a shame Simpsons and Bexleys haven't got involved yet as it could be quite a competion if they did.

CH's look good, but they are heavy, whilst the Rays/Volk are supposed to be light.

[Thorney]

oooh, Dan is sponsored by Nitron, Shirmer by KW and Steve on by AST, will be interesting to see who wins that bun fight!

We'll be running Rays again, not founder a lighter stronger wheel anywhere.

Nitron wins :hahaha: I sold my AST suspension with the old shell to your customer, remember? :whistle:

Tom Schirmer is working mainly with Nitron now, and both cars will be Nitron suspension.

The rays are awesome for my feeble weight lifting capabilities :whistle::hahaha:

[Thorney]

Oh yeah, thats right, forgot that.

Shame, I was kinda hoping you'd be on KW ;)

[Steve Gill]

More pics please. So thats an e46 M3 shell or a CSL one?
I'll find out, but I didn't think there was a difference. It was literally a shell - nothing else comes with it.

[Thorney]

Shells are the same save for CF roof, which we all replace anyway. One of the reasons we called it the CSL Cup, pretty much all the cars on the grid are in effect CSL's just some are manual and some SMG.:thumbs:

No difference, just wonder if you tore up a LHD CSL as they are still expensive.

[shimmy]

what are you doing Daz?

surely not letting Hazy and Radders take your crown without a fight?

[Hazy]

There is no modified and standard class this year (I dont think anyways!)

Its all we can do to get the car up to scratch, let alone getting round to modifying the engine to give the sort of power needed to run with the boys at the front.....

Also, I'm a realist...I am quick at trackdays, but racing is a whole different ball game, I used to think I was Valentino Rossi at bike trackdays. Then I went bike racing..the step up was huge!

[DazBlackCSL]

Thanks Daz - are you not joining us this year then? :banghead:
