What constitutes a "time attack" car?

[Duncan]

Interesting attempt to bring the regs back closer to what their competitors are doing. I still have absolutely no idea why type SV (or now time attack) exist outside the regular 1-4 classes. And they continue to rely on the meaningless rule of "road registered" without requiring "road legal"

Andrew, you will be please to know that Time Attack regs say:

2.6.2 Coil over suspension kits are permitted.

Hammerhead S13s are unfortunately banned.

hahah COILOVERS!!!!

because it would be horrible to disallow anything built after 1952

[hrd-hr30]

Hammerhead S13s are unfortunately banned.

but that rule's only in section "3 Open Category Regulations" - Hammerheads are free to run in Clubsprint! lol

The rule's really poorly worded too. Do they mean the width of the coachworh at that point, or at it's widest point?

Its funny that they got so caught up in cut-and-pasting WTAC rules they're just reiterating or contradicting other CAMS General Requirements... roll cages, exhausts, wheels, seats, harnesses etc...

You laugh about the "Coil over suspension kits are permitted" rule, but its not so funny when read in conjunction with this; "All Vehicles:- must only be modified as permitted by these Clubsprint Category Regulations". So this is all you can do to your suspension for instance:

2.6 Suspension

2.6.1 Suspension mount points as provided by the original vehicle manufacturer must be utilized.

2.6.2 Coil over suspension kits are permitted.

2.6.3 Aftermarket suspension arms are permitted

that's it! that's all you are permitted to do to your suspension. No sway bars! No replacement bushes! etc etc... what retard writes this stuff?

[PSI Parts]

Surely the definition of "Suspension Arm" would include sway bars?

[hrd-hr30]

Surely the definition of "Suspension Arm" would include sway bars?

only if you own a 70s Escort...

Are you allowed to run a front splitter and canards?

They protrude the coachwork don't they... Or do they become apart of the coachwork

If they are permanently fixed then they are part of the 'coachwork', love that antiquated word My ruling for what it is worth.

PS: get a lawyer to go over regs wording before release, for crying out......

[Duncan]

I don't think we can blame the NSW panel for the time attack section of the regs, I'm sure they come from $uperlap regs.

[GreddyGo]

Cheers 260DET, i thought that would be the case.

[Duncan]

In every series I've seen they interpret coachwork as the original (or replacement) body panels. Otherwise there would be no limit on how wide a car could be if anything you add to the coachwork is coachwork. Canards and splitters generally are narrower than the widest point of the car's body.

[260DET]

If 'coachwork' is to be interpreted as 'original coachwork' then that should be made clear because obviously there can be two different opinions if that is not done. Not trying to be a bitch but properly drafted regulations or whatever should be as unambigious as possible to save aggro and misunderstandings down the track. I used to draft stuff in another life, it is an art and not something most people can do well without some training at least.
