    Interesting to see that they allow any type of motor for all classes.

    I think we could use some of the Sport Cars class 3 standards on our Mille Miglia class:

    • Motor orientation: Inline only.
    • Front wheels and tyres: Minimum diameter 19mm, minimum width 5mm.
    • Rear wheels and tyres: Minimum diameter 21mm, maximum width 7.5mm.
    Minimum ground clearance 2mm.
    • Maximum overall width: 57mm.

    Sports Cars class 5 standards could be used on the Classic GT series:

    • Motor orientation: free.
    • Front wheels and tyres: Minimum diameter 16mm, minimum width 6mm.
    • Rear wheels and tyres: Minimum diameter 19mm, maximum width 12mm.
    Minimum ground clearance 1.5mm.
    • Maximum overall width: 64mm.

    Now, they are classifying GT cars as: “A closed, hard top car with 2 or 2+2 seats and bodywork covering the wheels. Cars in this class would normally be based on road going, hard top, 2 or 2+2 seat production cars.”. Are we only allowing closed cars for our Classic GT Series?
