Modernization Request-Pro Formula Mazda

#35909 from Dean Turnbaugh · No action required · Minutes (2024-05 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. The Pro Formula Mazda is classified as a "Spec Line Car" under FA Table 2 because its engine,
transmission, and overall bodywork dimensions do not comply with the general FA rules in GCR section 9.1.1.A and FA Table 1.
The Honda K20Z3 engine is an option for cars that comply with the general FA rules. Please see FA Table 1, Spec Line G, and GCR
section 9.1.1.A.2.c. To take advantage of the Honda K20Z3 engine option, a Pro Formula Mazda chassis needs to comply with all
of the general FA rules, including but not limited to the 90 cm maximum height of the bodywork and aerodynamic devices in
section 9.1.1.A.1.g.1, the 130 cm maximum bodywork width behind the front wheels in section 9.1.1.A.1.g.2, and the maximum
of five forward speeds in section 9.1.1.A.3.a.
