What would happen if you lifted off, "flew" the course, and landed before the finish though? The track limits are technically horizontal, not vertical, right? Or have I never read that rule?

In reply to Junghole :
It wouldn't be a car.
Now, commonsense would say because it wasn't road going anymore, but in your case, it would be because the helicopter has a tube frame.
In reply to Cooter :
Is there in car footage with data of the Ligiers lap? I'd like to just humble myself yet again that I don't have the talent or testicular fortitude to run a sub 1:50 lab at VIR.
That was a very entertaining discussion, Humorous Fellow GRM Fans. And so civil. I'd argue that Grassroots should stick to cars based closely enough on road cars and or homebuilt lower dollar specials than a pure IMSA prototype, even if driven by one of my favorite people. I drove one, too. Not a lot of power, (450?), but the downforce, ohhhhhhh

It's not the "cheap track car challenge," it's the "ULTIMATE track car challenge."
@Junghole: You still haven't said what you'd call the Ligier. Until you come up with a plausible name that doesn't have car in it and isn't a totally tortured usage of our fine language, I'll assume you're just trolling at this point.
Helicopter indeed. Pshaw!
In reply to dculberson :
I'd call the Ligier "fast".
I suppose open wheel, single seat formula cars could run in this event, too, since people take ex-F1 Ferraris to the track for fun. Has anyone done that? Seems there'd be an even bigger groan than about this Ligier.
Should move the event closer to the American F1 Race and see if you can get some of the F1 Teams to join the fun.
I think if I'm honest, we don't want to call them cars because we can't afford one.
The "we'll know it when we see it" comment did it for me.
I think if we all had Ligier money and wanted to win we wouldn't be concerned with whether it was a real car or not, as long as it's within the rules and passes tech.
