Classes
See the supplementary regulations for the event for full class descriptions and details. The classes running for the series are:
GT Cup. (National Race)
IB Cup (National Race)
SF Cup (Clubmans Race)
RS Cup (Clubmans Race)
Break-out Time Penalties
These apply to IB, SF and RS Cups. This means that if you run too fast a time penalty is applied for each lap. Drivers who break out regularly will be required to move to the next fastest class.
Break out times are as follows:
Race Class | Manfeild CCA: Break Out Penalty For Lap Times |
RS Cup | Faster than 1:30:00 |
| SF Cup | Faster than 1:25:00 |
| IB Cup | Faster than 1:20:00 |
| GT Cup | No breakout |
No In-Car Lap TimingI
n-car lap timing devices are now prohibited in the IB, SF and RS classes. Data loggers, lap timers, countdown timers, cell phones or any similar device that provides live information to the driver must not operate. Their displays must be removed or disabled during official qualifying and races. No pit-to-driver communication is permitted during qualifying and races. Failure to comply will result in the loss of all points accumulated in the meeting.This rule has been introduced due to erratic and dangerous driving exhibited at previous rounds as drivers attempt to slow their lap time to stay under breakout and avoid a penalty. We want you to go hard and then go home safely, so lap timing will no longer be allowed in IB, SF and RS classes.
