Polo G40 Cup rule book

hayesey · June 03, 2009, 10:12:56 AM

just a random thought, I assume that when the g40 cup existed in the early 90s a rule book of some sort was written. Does anyone happen to have a copy of this and if so could they scan it in?

Have a look at http://www.pitstopdevelopments.com/cuprebuild07/supercoupe.pdf

As I understand it the regulations for the super coupe cup G40s were largerly based on the original G40 cup car regs.

I may have an earlier copy of the super coupe cup regs if I can find it.

nice one, that's pretty interesting, the poo g40 specific section.

Yep, the Super Coupe Cup carried over the G40 Cup regs unchanged.

One picture of my G40:

Personally I run my car like this

Front tracking is toe out, can't remember how much.
Max caster, max camber.

Rear dampers are heavily bump rubbererd, I run the rear in parallel with no camber or sometimes half a degree positive.

Run the brakes with the bias to the front, virtually no rear brakes.

I like the car to have sharp turn in and drive the car by the front, the rear is very lively especially on cold tyres but I have found that is the fastest way for me to set it up.

Thanks,

Your setup is similar the same like the German cup cars. But I cannot find out the exact value from the front tracking. The correct front tracking is very important, otherwise I have many problems with the grip of my front tires.
