Clarify Application of Percentage Based Weight Penalties
#30669 from Production Committee · Rule change · TB 21-06 (2021-06 Fastrack)
In GCR, Section 9.1.5.C. add as follows:
"5. For percentage-based weight penalties, all applicable percentage values shall be summed first, and then applied to the
vehicle’s minimum specified base weight, as listed in the PCS. The minimum vehicle weight shall be rounded to the nearest
pound. For example, a car with a 1950lbs minimum specified base weight, that’s running a non-stock gear-engagement
transmission and non-stock brake rotors and/or calipers, would calculate its minimum weight as follows:
5% transmission penalty + 2% brakes penalty = 7% total penalty
7% total penalty * 1950 lbs base weight = 2086.5 lbs
2086.5 lbs rounded to nearest pound = 2087 lbs minimum weight"
