Interesting to read the following in the TCM Rules:
"Modern graphics or colour schemes shall not be permitted and sponsorship signage must be at a level consistent with that experienced in the early 1970's period". If you saw the Johnson, Bowe and Richards cars at Darwin round I'm sure all would agree they did not comply with this rule. So why have such sensible rules if the leaders are going to completely ignore them? |

Last year's car was pretty wild.
This year's is a lot tamer. |

That thing is very bloody quick, but with a 308 in it its really a full size smaller than a lot of the V8 powered cars.

But what about Richards Javelin? I don't recall a scheme with vertical stripes such as this. See attached http://www.touringcarmasters.com.au/...river-profiles |

In any case, the article in the regs you quote says "shall" so there is an allowance for variation built into the regs right off the bat. If it said "will" that would be another thing entirely....... |

The regulations on the TCM site are the 2014 regulations. They just haven't bothered to update them for the benefit of the interested. For the 2015 regulations you have to look on the CAMS site. http://docs.cams.com.au/Manual/Sport...ersion%203.pdf The first 5 lines of Appendix A have now been eliminated It seems the TCM regulations could be said to be in a state of flux. There have been 3 versions so far of the 2015 regulations. Version 1 issued 23 February Version 2 issued 25 March Version 3 issued 13 May This version 3 was issued after the first two rounds of the 2015 series had actually taken place. There is nothing like making rules on the run...... So you can now have any graphics and signage that you want. Last edited by Terry S; 13 Jul 2015 at 02:43. Reason: not complete |
