A Few Things
#31199 from Daryl Wizelman · No action required · Minutes (2021-11 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The Club Racing Board appreciates your comments. Safety is reviewed as technology advances and
when particular problems arise. The spec tube-frame Formula Mazda chassis classified in FX fully complies with all current safety
requirements and technical regulations in the General Competition Rules. Limiting open-wheel run groups to a maximum of 20
cars (and thereby increasing the number of run groups) is not feasible because of the time constraints inherent in race
weekends. P1 cars have successfully run with open-wheel cars (including FA, FB, FC, FE, FE2, FM, and FX) since the class’s
inception; on-track problems of the type described should be addressed with the Stewards. Car classifications are reviewed in
response to member input and in conjunction with analyzing on-track AiM data. The FR Americas car is properly classified in FA,
and U.S. Majors Tour participation numbers show that FR Americas cars could not separately achieve an average of 4.0 cars per
Show 5 more lines
event, nor could FA achieve an average of 4.0 cars per event if FR Americas cars were removed from the class. Please see the
response to letter #30395 in the April 2021 Fastrack Minutes. Regarding consideration of the Tatuus PM-18 for classification in
FA, please see the response to letter #30796 in the October 2021 Fastrack Minutes. Fire resistant underwear is optional with
driving suits carrying an FIA Standard 1986 Standard or FIA Standard 8856-2000 label or SFI 3-2A/5 or higher (e.g., /10, /15, /20)
certification label. Please see GCR section 9.3.19.C.1.
