Couple Of Questions Regarding Rules Etc..

[Jezza-gtR]

Hey all, I've got limited access to internet right now and don't have enough time to search my self so if anyone can give me a answer to a couple of questions that would be most helpful

I'm in Vic and this is for my R31 drift car, getting ready for the track.

1: With bucket seats do they have to meet any requirements? ADR's etc.

2: If a bucket seat is fitted to a car does the car have to use a harness or is the stock side strap fine?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Jesse, the CAMS website has the CAMS manual on it. The seat and belt requirements are in one of the "general requirements for racing" sections

Being Winton in AASA - does that have any major impact?

I know both overlap in many area's.

Alright well I had a read through the CAMS manual and I answered my question about the seat belt. The stock belt is fine for drifting and motorkhana. But I am confused about the information regarding seats I found.

From the manual:

EACH AUTOMOBILE IN A CIRCUIT RACE (EXCEPT A SUPERKART) SHALL, OF NECESSITY, IN ADDITION TO THE

PROVISIONS OF SCHEDULES A & B, BE FITTED:

7: only with such replacement seat which in closed cars first registered with CAMS after 1 January 1980, and in

which the relevant regulations permit the replacement of the driver’s seat:

• incorporates a head restraint;

• does not incorporate adjustment of the rake of the squab;

The ''relevent regulations''? Would that just mean the supp regs of the event I'm entering?

I would like to know this as well, seeing as I want to be drifting at Winton.

yeah when they say relevent regulations they mean if there are any specific regs in what you are doing. for instance super cars may have tighter requirements than schedule A. But when the specific regs for an event or category say nothing you only have to follow the above.

I can't imaging AASA having any documented rules as a basic standard. They seem to issue everything as event sup regs. But in any case if you follow the rules above (1 peice fixed back seat) I'm sure you'll be fine. I use ADR approved ones but many people don't and don't have a problem.
