RACE EXPERIENCE Vehicles
ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Race Experience vehicle eligibility is designed to be inclusive, with a broad range of modifications allowed to mass-produced production vehicles, and some exceptions for purpose-built racecars.
There will be a link to the full rules at the bottom - but at a glance, this is what makes a vehicle eligible for ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Race Experience Events:
1) These events are for cars prepared for wheel-to-wheel racing. This means a roll cage, a racing seat, racing harnesses, etc. These cars will need substantial safety modifications.
2) They need to be a "car." Basically this means at least four wheels. Trikes and other 3-wheel vehicles like those found at the local motorcycle dealer are not eligible. In addition - vehicles with a high center of gravity (some trucks and SUVs) are not eligible.
3) There is a general performance limit for these cars. The fastest road racing cars are not appropriate for this level of racing. Generally, vehicles should not be faster per lap than ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Sprint Road Racing
Touring 2 class or about a 7:1 HP to weight Ratio.
4) For the majority of cars, they should be production-based. This means factory race cars, or professional racing cars including TCR, GT4, carbon chassis, and big-bore tube frame cars like Trans Am or NASCAR race cars are not appropriate.
There are some exceptions - ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Spec Racer Ford may be allowed to compete (check specific event rules) along with small-bore tube-frame cars and factory production replica. (E.g., a Cobra replica.) Some events may also have a group for Formula Cars and Sports Racers, but like sedans - pro chassis like Formula Atlantic and the fastest Formula/Sports racers are not appropriate.
