Small VW Beam Mod Question

#38273 from Matt Clark · No action required · Minutes (2025-07 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. The GCR does not support the modifications to the beam described. The FV rules, GCR section
9.1.1.C.1.B, say that "Formula Vee is a Restricted Class. Therefore, any allowable modifications, changes, or additions are as
stated herein. There are no exceptions. IF IN DOUBT, DON’T." The FV rules further state in that section that "[n]o component of
the engine, powertrain, front suspension, brakes shall be altered, modified, or substituted unless specifically authorized." The
Club Racing Board believes the modifications described fall into this category, whereas the relocation of the steering box as done
on the Citation is specifically authorized by GCR section 9.1.1.C.3.A.4.
