Sectors are not comparable across all of these events. Sector times and the theoretical lap use Atlanta Region Hoosier SCCA Super Tour @ Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, Atlanta Region SCCA Hoosier Super Tour @ Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, Atlanta Region SCCA Hoosier Super Tour @ Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta only. Atlanta Region Hoosier SCCA Super Tour @ Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta (sectors cut at different points) counts towards whole-lap times and trap speed only.
One row per driver and car (a driver who changed cars has a row for each). Each cell is that driver's best in that car across the selected events, with the session it was set in. Best 5-lap stint is the mean of the driver's quickest five consecutive race laps, and consistency is how far their median race lap sat behind their best in that race (small is a driver who does it every lap); both come from the race with the best stint. The fastest in each column is purple, and a car whose best lap is more than 115% of the fastest in its class is greyed (marked ">115%" beside the driver) and left out of the colour scale. Click a column to sort, a row to highlight it.
Theoretical lap is the sum of the best sectors, whichever laps they came from, and never slower than the best lap (where a car's fastest laps were recorded without sector times, its best lap is used). The 115% mark is about the car's best lap only: a car whose best lap is within 115% of the fastest in its class is never marked. Greyed sectors with no theoretical lap mean the sector times on file do not add up to a believable lap. Letters refer to the events above; Q is qualifying, R a race.

Racing B. CLASSIFIED CARS AND WEIGHTS 2006-2015 production-based MX-5 Cars are to be weighed with the driver and required ballast. C. AUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS Only the left-hand drive, North American-version of the 2006-2015 Mazda MX-5 convertible & power retractable hardtop (PRHT) are eligible. The original OE vehicle identification number (VIN) stamped on the firewall must correspond with the model year automobile as classified. VIN plates or stampings must remain in place, with the firewall VIN taking precedence. A Mazda Factory Shop Manual for the specific make, model, and year of automobile is required to be in the possession of each entrant. The manual may be in the form of printed material, microfiche, CDs, DVDs, and/ or Internet access to manufacturer sponsored web-based databases that is readily accessible at time of inspection. The manual is intended to aid scrutineers in identifying parts and the configuration of the automobile. The items outlined in this VTS document represent the only modifications and safety items permitted and/or required on Spec MX-5 vehicles other than safety items as required in SCCA’s current GCR Section 9. Parts and components may not perform an unauthorized function (i.e. Modifications must be stated as authorized or cannot be done). If the Mazda Factory Manual or these rules provide only a partial specification or no specification at all, the Mazda parts may not be modified beyond what is permitted in these rules. Compliance will be determined by comparison to new or like parts and/or the parts compliance measurement listing delivered by Mazda. Other approved parts with only a partial specification or no specification available in these rules may not be modified. Assembly, rebuild, and refurbishment procedures, and all associated dimensions must adhere to the published factory service procedures, except as otherwise stated in these rules. No components may be added or omitted from those specified by the published factory service procedures. All components must be comply with stated standard dimensions. It is permitted to use industry standard procedures to repair damaged components.

Data Acquisition 1 A technical evaluation process for cars is available from the Series. Part of this process is the required download of AiM Data files after each timed session (Qualifying 1 & 2, Races 1 & 2). Within 30 minutes of each timed session end, all Series Competitors MUST send the AiM Data file (.XRK) for all timed laps of that session to the secure email address (data@specmx-5.com), where data will be reviewed by AiM directly. Failure to adhere to this guideline from the Series, or having non- functioning data, may be grounds for penalty or disqualification by the Series. a. Vehicle must be equipped with current generation AiM data acquisition system (configurable in Race Studio 3) that can provide on track data to AiM race studio 3. The data acquisition system may only read the OBDII/ECU data stream. It is not permitted to alter/manipulate data to and from the ECU. The AiM system may be utilized to trigger a switch I.E., cooling fans or diff cooler pumps but must be wired via a separate analog circuit. Refer to Section 17: Electrical Equipment above for installation requirements. b. The connection at the OBDII port for the AiM system may be made in either one of two ways: 1. Through a dedicated OBDII AiM adaptor. 2. By direct wiring to the back of the OBDII port within 3” of the ODBII connector. c. Fuel pressure datalogging is required. d.

Mandatory Video Camera Cars running in Spec MX-5 must have a functioning video recorder/camera during all qualifying and race sessions as described in 9.3.11. Upon request by an SCCA official, competitors must provide their video recording/data, which may be used by the SCCA for any purpose including but not limited to rule enforcement and marketing. Failure to comply with a video request from an official, or having a non-functioning video recorder/camera may will be grounds for penalty or disqualification. 22. Parts Confiscation a. Tech officials may confiscate competitors’ parts for the purpose of verification of tech compliance. 23. Penalties Clarification – Non-Compliant Parts Level Infraction Penalty 1 Non-compliant modification to any of the spec parts, engine components, ECU/Elec- tronics or modification to the chassis.

wordingAS class Spec Lines reorganized for 2026; old table format with chassis, engine, weight, tire, and brake data deleted and moved to main rules and build sheets.
As printed in Fastrack
This AS Spec Lines re-organization simplifies the Spec Lines for all drivers. This version gives the chassis information on what engines can be put in their cars. It removes information that is now repeated in the ruleset and adds engine/weight combos as well as wheelbase/tire size information. The Notes in the Spec Lines have been reviewed to remove information now listed in the engine build sheets and retain information pertinent to the chassis selected. Where there is nothing in the notes, it is not an error. It just means everything a driver needs is now in the main rules or the build sheets. In AS Spec Lines, delete current Spec Line in its entirety as follows:
A specification table follows in the original; it is not shown here.
What the rules allowed changed as listed; this does not say what any particular car ran.
