Aluminum Suspension Components in P2
#30536 from Lucas Joslin · Not recommended · Minutes (2021-05 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The Club Racing Board does not recommend this change. P2 is intended to be a relatively low cost
sports racing class, and certain technologies are restricted to further this goal. While the cost of manufacturing aluminum alloy
suspension parts may be somewhat lower now than at the class's inception, revising the rules to allow them would set the
standard and create a perception that they are necessary to reach minimum weight and be competitive, which would ultimately
raise the cost of participation for all competitors in the class. In addition, the Club Racing Board is not aware of any potential
conversion cars that are being excluded from the P2 class by requiring suspension parts such as control arms to be made of steel
or ferrous material.
