| Short Description | Competitors running 40TW tires are bumped up one class. |
| Applicable Regulatory Document | Time Attack |
| Type of Rule Change | Addition |
| Affected Section | 18.7.2.7 |
| Proposed Regulation | 18.7.2.7.2 For Hill Climb events, Max class participant who take advantage of 18.7.2.7.1 will be bumped up on class. For example, a Max 5 car running 40TW tires would be Max 4. 18.7.2.7.3 For Hill Climb events, Max 1 class participants who take advantage of 18.7.2.7.1 will be bumped up to Max 1R. |
| Reason for Rule Change | Currently the rule allows 40TW tires to compete directly with cars running 200TW tires. This provides an absolute advantage to cars running the 40TW tires. All other Time Attack events limit Max Class to 200TW. Hill Climb events are an exception as it is a long standing practice of many drivers to run 40TW tires; this new rule allows that and still maintains an element of fairness. |
| Regulation as Amended and Published | 18.7.2.7.2 For Hill Climb events, Max class participants who take advantage of of the preceding rule will be bumped up on class. For example, a Max 5 car running 40TW tires would be Max 4. For Hill Climb events, Max 1 class participants who take advantage of the preceding rule will be bumped up to Max 1R. |
| Status/Disposition | Approved |
