2026-01-01 Formula F Alternative Tire Rule Proposed Clarifications

#39281 from Jay Messenger · Rule change · TB 26-01 (2026-01 Fastrack)

In FF, GCR section 9.1.1.B.10.e, change as follows:
"Alternatively, Formula F cars with rocker arm suspension (e.g., 1987-90 Reynard, Swift DB1,) and/or outboard suspension on at
least one chassis end homologated in 1989 or earlier with any combination of rocker arm or outboard suspension on all four
corners (e.g., 1987 – 1990 Reynard, Swift DB1) may use the following alternative tires. Note: This rule is intended to allow older
cars with the described suspension design to use the alternative tires. It is not to be exploited by modifying cars with push-rods or
pull-rods to meet the above requirements or by modifying either end of older cars to push- or pull-rod suspension to be eligible to
run the alternative tires. Cars that were homologated in 1989 or earlier with push- or pull-rod suspension on no more than two
corners may seek approval to run the alternative tire by utilizing the compliance process outlined in GCR section 8.1.4."
