I can see that a lot of time and effort has gone in to these new regs for which I am grateful. 

 

I haven't had enough time to fully digest and understand how the new class structure may affect my decision as to W2 or W4 for 2020, but on first sight it does seem a shame that we've lost the progression from road going to modified that the old class structure gave us.

 

Could I also ask for a definitive answer as to what will be accepted as a fully functional passenger seat in W1 & W2 ?

[Peteroconnor]

Hi can anyone else not get the attachment to open with the revised regs in? Thanks

Peter, I suspect you have to be a fully paid up member to access it. It looks as if you are only a trial member at the moment?

[Peteroconnor]

Ok thanks Stephen, I am hoping to buy a Westfield in the close season so was using this years regulations as my guide... I will join the club but in the meantime any ideas what splits a big vs small engine please? As I am looking at entering the road going class and driving my car to and from the events(as mad as it sounds)

 

thanks

The need for Road cars to have a CAT is covered in S12.5.4 and only applies to cars newer than 1999 and then only if needed to pass an MOT in line with DVSA Rules.

Hi Pete the split for the speed series is 1800cc for a car engine powered Westfield and 1150cc for a bike engined Westfield.

 

There are a few well spec'ed road going sprint car currently for sale. 

Shamless plug mine is one of them. Good luck in your search and becoming a member pays for itself in no time with the knowledge on here

Thanks all, just joined up as a fully fledged member!😀

 

look forward to meeting you at some events next season

[Peteroconnor]

Hi all, reading the regs the difference between road going classes is the engine cc. So can you run whatever gearbox you want in either class? Ie sequential? Assume so as a bike engine will have a sequential box

Bike engines have them as standard. Very different rule. 
 

edit: best await a reply from someone who knows the rules though! I know naaaaarthing 🤣

Looks like you can now run whatever gearbox you want. In previous years you were not allowed to. But in making the classes more inline with other championships and on the day classes, I have previously run against sequencial box's in road going. Maybe a point of clarification from the SSOT

For W1 and W2 I think that the blue book says if sequential gearbox it must have been standard fitment if complying with S11. This would I guess mean ok mega blade or megabusa bike engines cars but not car engined other then the fw400 or the sport2000s  that left the factory with sequential boxes fitted. 
 

For W3 and W4 S12 says gearbox is free

Yes correct so only the bike engine powered car can have a sequencial in W1 and W2
