Spaceframe RallyX Cars
I read in this months "Motorsport Now" magazine from the MSA that in the Blue Book and regulation changes section in the back that for autocross and rallycross:
It reads: Rallyx cars: "Must have no body kits, spaceframing or alterations, fibreglass or alloy panels to make the car lighter?" Does anyone know if this is correct? If it is correct is it only for new build cars? and no new log books will be issued? How will this allow current and new cars to be competitive together? How will this affect our Super Modified class? Thoughts? Information? Also i read that it is proposed to allow tracks with Joker laps fitted to be used for all National A Rallycross events The above both proposed from January 2011. |

I saw that too - not sure which classes that applies to though? There was also something about the Juniors in there that suggested it may be opened up to other models - I can't remember the exact wording but it was something about retaining original drive (so fwd stays fwd, rwd stays rwd). Did anyone else see that?

well imagine if you had to get rid of all the spaceframe cars and all the fibreglass body cars there at the minute ? the coyne bros have no cars i have no cars ian o has no cars you would virtually wipe out all of the modifieds give or take 3 or 4 that are there at the minute . . . In my mind then you would end up with european based classes in which very few people at the minute can afford to either buy or run . . . . .

As you say it looks like they are going to try and move towards the Euro classes. Great shame if they get rid of the Super Mods as they are, one of the most interesting classes for me. From what I can tell it will increase costs as well. Presume the Super Mods will live on in the BTRDA classes though.

You beat me to it Andy, it is with regards to Junior cars not current, past, present or future rallycross cars just Juniors cars.

Sorry lads i haven't been on here in a while . Thats good to finally clear that matter up as it made me kind of mad that they were going to start tinkering with the most popular and one of the most exciting classes in rallycross . . . .
