9.1.8.A SPORTS RACING CATEGORY
These specifications are part of the SCCA GCR and all automobiles shall conform with GCR Section 9.
1. SCCA SPORTS RACING CATEGORY PREPARATION RULES
The SCCA Sports Racing Category shall be for automobiles which are designed and constructed for
road racing competition, offering provisions for driver and a passenger, or driver alone (single-seater).
They shall conform to the following requirements. Sports Racers Cars except SRF & SRF3 homologated
prior to 1-1-2014 are eligible to compete as P1 or P2 as long as they meet applicable class rules, no re-
homologation is required. During competition, cars are subject to the minimum speed/lap time
required for that competition event. Cars built after 1-1-2014 must conform to Homologation
requirements as specified in 9.2.2.
Effective 1/1/97, those cars formerly known as Sports Renault and/or Spec Racers or any variants of
this chassis/drive train/bodywork combination will not be allowed to compete in ASR in any SCCA
sanctioned event.
Single seat Formula car chassis (Ex.: FA, FC, FF, FV) fitted with enclosed bodies (as specified in these
rules) may run in a Sports Racing/Prototype Class (ASR, P1, P2) provided they comply with the
requirements of the Classification Specification and GCR Section 9. This means that all Formula
Atlantic, Formula Continental, Formula F, and Formula Vees running in Sports Racing categories shall
have bodywork which complies with the appropriate category Classification Specifications. The ex
Formula car chassis need not have any former engine(s) fitted. Converted cars will maintain their
former SCCA registration vehicle numbers. Each converted car shall meet the homologation
requirements of section 9.2.2 and have a new Vehicle Logbook (with new pictures); however, the
former Logbook will be securely attached to the new Logbook. This procedure will enable Race
Officials and Scrutineers to identify a single seat Sports Racer as formerly having been a bona fide
Formula car. New Single seat Sports Racers may be of new construction and must meet the
homologation requirements of section 9.2.2.
Where Weber or other approved carburetors are specified and used, they shall retain their standard
configurations of fuel distribution. This is to prohibit annular discharge carburetors.
It is the intention of the Club Racing Board to never classify a replica or derivative of a mass produced
road car body in the sports racing classes. These classes are intended for open and/or closed sports
racer/sports prototype bodywork Sports racing cars shall be classified into classes as follows:
• A Sports Racing (ASR) - Regional Status Only (Former Can-Am and F-5000 allowed if registered prior
to 01/01/2003)
• Prototype 1 (P1)
• Prototype 2 (P2)
• Spec Racer Ford (SRF) Regional Status Only
• Spec Racer Ford 3 (SRF3)
9.2.1 VEHICLE LOGBOOKS
Each car shall have a complete and up-to-date logbook.
A. The standard SCCA Vehicle Logbook will be used by all competitors at all SCCA competitions,
unless accepted in the Supplemental Regulations for an event shared with another sanctioning
organization, or as specified in 9.2.1.D.
All unissued Vehicle Logbooks must remain the in possession and control of a Divisional or
National Technical Inspector.
B. Only one logbook will be issued for each vehicle (except as a continuation of the original or a
replacement). When a continuation logbook is issued, the date the initial logbook was issued
must be written on the front page of the continuation logbook. (It is not necessary to present
all old logbooks for issuance of annual inspection stamp or a tech sticker.) Possessing two
logbooks for one vehicle is a breach of the rules under 2.1.3.
C. A complete description of the vehicle, its safety roll bar/roll cage, and the required photographs
must be present in the places provided. All changes of ownership of the vehicle must be
recorded.
D. ASN Canada FIA Vehicle History Logbooks will be accepted at all SCCA events.
E. The Vehicle Logbook must be issued by a Nationally licensed Technical Inspector, who will
complete the required vehicle information in the front and back of the logbook. He will conduct
a thorough inspection of the vehicle, as provided in Section 9.3, General Technical and Safety
Specifications. The logbook issue date is the date of registration.
F. Identity Numbers:
1. Each vehicle shall be issued an identity number which will be permanently stamped on its roll
bar, and which will correspond to the number on the Vehicle Logbook.
2. The first digit(s) corresponding to the region’s identity number will be separated from the
balance of the numbers by a dash (-).
3. The car numbering system, beginning with 001, shall be issued consecutively as the vehicles
are registered during a thorough inspection.
G. All Formula and Sports Racing Cars may be required to be homologated by SCCA and issued a
Certificate of Approval. Refer to section 9.2.2. for details. Exceptions are Spec Racer Ford,Spec
Racer Ford 3, FE, FE2, ESR SRSCC A, and Shelby Can-Am. The original certificate shall be presented
along with the car for issuance of a new Vehicle Logbook. Additionally, former Spec Racer Renaults
may compete in Vintage/Historic events using their originally issued logbook.

Each car shall carry identification numbers and class letters per A and B, below, SCCA logos per C, below;
and any markings required by the Supplemental Regulations.

Formula cars with a rear wing shall have legible numbers on each rear wing side plate. Numbers
may be 1, 2 or 3 digits. 3 digit numbers must start with the number “1”. Class letters shall be
placed on both sides of the car so that they are legible. Rear numbers and class letters are
recommended. Cars running in multiple classes must clearly identify which class and weight they
are running. The numeral “1” shall be exclusively reserved for the current national champion in
each class for national events. The numeral “1” will be reserved until the end of the period for
submitting advanced or pre-event entries, and then will be released. If 2 or more national
champions are entered in the same run group, the first to enter shall have preference.
B. Size of Numbers and Class Letters

event shall display the official SCCA field logo (see figures 4 and 5) unobstructed and
prominently on both sides of the car and adjacent to the side numbers. A third logo shall be
displayed on the front of the car unobstructed and prominently near the front number. The logo

current GCR in a manner that is clearly legible to the scrutineers at the scales. Cars that are run
in more than one class must display the correct minimum weight for each class so that it is clear
which weight applies to each class. Any car required to run a restrictor must display the
restrictor size and type in a manner that is clearly legible to the scrutineers. If the car also
displays a minimum weight, it is recommended that the restrictor information be located near
the displayed minimum weight. GT2 cars must show displacement, weight, restrictor size and
rule set.

outside the car. Spec Racer Fords (SRF/SRF3) shall be wired per RFSRII. The master switch shall be
