RE Letter 36958 (STU-GT3 merge) in October Fastrack
#37034 from Eric Heinrich · No action required · Minutes (2024-12 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. CRB carefully considered five years of HST and runoffs race data and results. It does remain to be
determined if the changes (starting 2025) will need adjustment for BoP.
CRB, and SCCA intend to have equal GT3/STU BoP parity before it becomes one class in 2026. Data will be collected starting early
2025 and CRB intends to make quick changes when supported by DATA (and race observation and results).
Many possibilities exist to create parity between STU and GT3 (if warranted) including more weight on GT3 cars, less penalty for
STU advanced aero option etc. CRB tries to suggest relatively low cost options (if possible) to promote participation.
CRB understands that some STU cars will have difficulty reaching the allowed 4.0 percent weight reduction. CRB (and STAC) are
currently discussing options that help with weight reduction including composite front fenders, change stock dash requirement

and more. Again, hopefully relatively low cost changes.
