Reclassify FM to FC
#39162 from Moses Smith · Not recommended · Minutes (2026-03 Fastrack)
The Road Racing Competition Committee does not recommend this change because the FM uses a number of major
components that fall outside the general FC rules. While two cars that are reasonably close to the class concept have been
allowed into FC as "spec line" cars, the rules state that additional spec line cars are disfavored. Creating an additional spec line
for a car that uses several major components that do not comply with the general rules is outside the scope and intention for
the class. To the extent that a performance disparity between the FM and other cars in the FX class is a concern, the RRCC notes
that competitors facing this situation in other classes have sometimes organized an unofficial championship for that car type
within their class and/or recognized individual competitors' performance by awarding separate trophies and taking their own
podium photos. This has worked well both regionally and nationally but does require organization on the racers' part.
