Zatímco o K11 jsem přemýšlel už před nákupem Daihatsu, K12 mi přišla vždycky už moc „evropská“. Čím hlouběji se ale člověk do Micer potápí, tím víc generací ho začne bavit. Stačí se podívat na závodní auta a nejde to nemít rád, do toho se po netu objevují auta inspirovaná N1 a potenciální nákup K12 je na světě. Nedávno jsem koukal na JTCC a musím říct, že takový ty divný Cariny kolem roku 1995 jsou vlastně pěkný auta… lol.
Co napsat ke K12 one‑make race? Nevim, tak jsem scany z HyperRev nechal přeložit Googlem. Jsou ve vysokém rozlišení, kdyby někoho zajímaly detaily. Škoda, že podobný text není i pro K11.
The goal of the March Cup is to create a race that can truly be enjoyed as a hobby.
The March Race is the longest-running one-make race led by a manufacturer.
In 2003, the K12 March appeared on the circuit as an N1 vehicle.
Nissan Racing School has also been opened, exclusively for March Cup vehicles.
There is a trailer loaded with numerous spare parts used for the March.
The size is 185/55R15. The tires are Bridgestone RE35S.
All vehicles are required to be fitted with a data logger.
Of course, the car is also fitted with the necessary equipment. In addition, it is equipped with the aforementioned defroster, LSD, and other sports mufflers (unusually for an N1 vehicle, with a touch-sensitive surface), as well as height adjustable suspension, a lightweight flywheel, and safety equipment such as seat belts. The car is based on a three-door 1200cc that will be used in the race.
SUSPENSION
The car is fitted with height-adjustable suspension. Unlike a stock vehicle, the rear springs and shocks are arranged on the same axis. Currently, only three suspension manufacturers are permitted to install: NISMO, ZEAL and RS★R. Along with changing the brand, the choice of spring rate and vehicle height allows each driver to express their own originality, and this is an area that tests their setup ability.
ROLL CAGE
The interior is fitted with a six-point roll cage, which not only increases rigidity but also protects the driver from rollovers. Other safety features include a fire extinguisher, bucket seats, and four-point seat belts. Even now, in its third season, the race continues without a single injury. Everyone can take on the circuit with peace of mind.
ENGINE
The engine is the same as the base 12c, a CR12DE. It produces 94 horsepower from 1240cc. Overhauls are permitted, but modifications or alterations to individual parts are not permitted. Vehicles participating in the March Cup are required to undergo engine inspection by the organizer, and unless they receive a seal there, they cannot participate in the race.
DATA LOGER
The LAPCOM digital meter, equipped with a logger function, can measure basic data such as engine revolutions, speed, and water temperature, as well as lap times. You can see your current time on the meter without having to look at the signboard on the rig. This extravagant equipment, which is too luxurious for a one-make vehicle, further enhances the greatness of the March Cup.
TIRE & WHEEL
Only Bridgestone S tires, RE55S, can be used. The size is limited to 185/55-15, and any modifications such as grooving are prohibited. Because the power is limited, wear is minimal, and even if new tires are replaced for each race, the time improvement is not significant. This ultimately helps to keep costs down. Wheel rims can be selected from three sizes: 5.5, 6, and 6.5.
